Straw time bitches.
A chipper shredder is a wonderful piece of machinery. Get on craigslist and buy one now. It shreds the fuck out of straw. Infinitely better than chopping by hand. The kind of stuff myc loves.
When you've got enough to fill a mesh laundry bag, load it up. Put it in your pot and fill it above the straw line with hot water. Now take the straw out and get the water to 160 degrees. Once at temp, Put the straw back in for 30-45 min. After that, pull it out and let it drain. An hour or so later, spread it out on a table and mix it with spawn. Then load it into bags, trays, or tubs. If using bags, seal it up and then poke holes every few inches. Once colonized, put into fruiting. If using trays or monotubs, pack it in tight. The chipper shredder gets the straw really fine so a weight is not needed. Here are a few pics. I'll load more when i have fruits. These are pink and king oysters.

Do you still pack the straw down real tight if you're mixing it with other sub's?

They're about the same size as a wife/slash girlfriend, but much heavier (hopefully) So ditch the bitch. Really though, I'm including some of the straw in your package. When you see it, you'll buy one and a shed to put it in that day. It's THAT nice. And oh so fast. And it turns hpoo balls into powder instantly.
Yes buck. Still pack. But this straw won't pop back up like hand cut straw will.

I really like this! Its nice and simple. I had heard that cubensis colonizes straw exponentially faster than other substrates. Do you know of any truth to this?

Well right now I just run the lawnmower over it. Probably not as good as the chipper tho. But I love me straw. Cheap as borscht and great mushroom food

Did you just advocate killing his girlfriend and running her through the chipper, so he has room for the chipper?

Ya know, i always thought it was a tad slower, but when it's shredded like this, it actually is faster. Strange.

Well run that bitch over with the lawn mower. Then she won't be around to tell you to mow the yard. So you trade the mower for a chipper shredder. Problem solved

Nice write up, Az. I may have to invest in a chipper when ever I run out of my straw pellets. Straw pellets are even finer than that straw but it would definitely be the next best thing. I'm going to bookmark this for when I need it.

I usually use the lawnmower as well. A tub with a hole cut in the lid and a weed whacker does wonders too. Probably not as fast, but it works well.

I'd think shredded straw would colonize faster that whole tubes because the mycelium has a solid 5-9 inch straw to grow through as opposed to little 1-2 cm ones

I found pre cut straw the other day but I can only assume it is waaaaay cheaper to buy a bale and cut it myself.
Time to add another tool to the myco wish list

I got mine on craigslist for $150. It's 20 years old and is a beast. One full size bale ($5) took about 15 min. I did like 200 lbs of hpoo in less than 20 min. You can find used ones for under 300 all day long. Will pay for itself in 10 min

i do wanna add " i approve of your method"(in a gwb voice)
your straw size is perfect and i often do it just like that 
show these kids with leggy straw how its done az. one clown comes to mind who doesn't know how to properly prepare straw. that clown could learn a trick or two by listening to reason.
