Straw only substrate?
    #21779697 - 06/08/15 05:17 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Wondering if I will have any mushroom spawn from my bottle of straw substrate? Also wondering what the mycelium by the air holes means

This looks like prime slurry material too me! :thumbup: Put sterile water in, strain it out, and you have instant liquid culture to inject into wev you'd like for expedited growth.

But if you're trying to get fruit out of that jar you won't find yourself with anything very substantial. Not that it can't be done it's just that straw's c/n ratio is around 100:1 (you want closer to 35:1) and straw doesn't hold any reserves of water at all which is the #1 thing mushies need to grow!! Shake in some horse poo, or worm castings, something, anything!

I just wonder if it's got enough air flow given the mycelium has begun to grow over the air holes...not 100% sure what that's a sign of

Straw holds LOTS of water. You'll get some fruits, OP. Also, that isn't good slurry material at all. That straw is likely pasteurized, not sterile.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.
