Firsttimer420, sorry dude. That wasn't an attack on you. Simply put, all the info is out there. Search my main threads. See how many times it was to ask a question. I can think of 3. One for cleaning up after contamination, one for agar, and one to identify a contam. And the last one i put a lot of effort in so others won't have to. Anyways, here's the link http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22315950/fpart/all/vc/1/nt/14 The original post is shit, but it gets very good. Read it. Don't just skim it.

Yeah FT420, you can't take anything Azur says to heart. He's a dick, but a dick that is willing to help just the same 
I can say that because I'm a dick too (just not as willing to help).
I've got a batch of straw azur gave me, and I think it's the chipper that makes it so fast. The straw is absolutely beat to shit by the time it comes out of the shredder. The round hollow stalks have been completely disassembled into little shards with tons of surface area.

Check that out... that's shredded

I buy preshredded straw but after reading this thread I started chopping it even finer in my ninja blender. So far I'm really liking the results. Chipper shresder has been on my list of things to buy for a while now.

Mush on YouTube there's a video of a guy making straw using a weed whacker. I tried it over the fall too, and if you take your time it can be fuckin sooo shredded. Almost powdery. Also everyone has weed whackers lol.
Probably more work than a shredder, and much longer, but it's a cheap solution if you don't have the funds. And it beats using your hands lol

Hey. He's only half Mexican. I think the blacks and Mexicans are in cahoots. Black guy steals my mower and sells it to Mexican. Mexican gets job mowing my grass. $50 twice a month to mow, weed whack, edge, pick up trash, and blow the driveway off. Who can argue with that. I mowed enough grass in my life.

Yea I almost tried this. But its the fall and I was worried about what seeds and stuff I might pick up, I swept a bunch of straw off my porch and ended up with a bunch of grass growing in my tubs  I don't have a mower either right now. Im poor

EDIT:Btw, I got a bale of straw per recommendation, and its a bitch to chop up. Tried to rent a chipper/shredder, fucking 300$ deposit and 75 buck an hour for like the first 3 hours.
I've posted this in a few straw related threads, but no one listens to a "noob", even one who's been involved in mushroom cultivation since 1986...
Forget the big noisy messy chippers!
I bought a leaf shredder (Worx brand) for half that price. Essentially an inverted weed whacker in a hopper. The frame holds jumbo trash bags perfectly. I processed around 300 pounds of straw in less than half a day. Best investment ever!!

I like to argue you can use a blender. Just mix with water first, don't put it in dry.

I use my ninja blender. I fill it with water then submerge the straw. Works good for small batches.
