an oyster experiment
    #21899022 - 07/04/15 10:55 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I have never grown anything but Cubenses. I thought I would make a tiny stab at something else. I took two 4 oz wide mouth kerr jars, filled them with PF tek BRF and vermiculite. Pressure cooked them. Then I took an 8 oz wide mouth Kerr jar, poured it half full of water, screwed the cutting end of an Osterizer on it and pressure cooked that. Then I took an oyster mushroom I had bought the previous day at the market, cut the stem from the cap, wiped down the stem well with 91% alcohol--all this done in a still air box--, unscrewed  the osterizer blades from the jar of water,quickly dropped the piece of oyster stem into the sterilized water, and screwed the blades back on. Then I Osterized the stem for a few seconds until it was pretty well shredded but not atomized. I went back to the SAB, opened quick quick the two BRF jars and doled out a teaspoonful  of the osterized oyster flesh onto the top of each jar. All this was done as sterilely as possible with alcohol and flame sterilized impliments. I wonder if anyone would care to comment on what my chances are for successfully fruiting the two jars?

Did you use a dry verm layer in the jars? That wouldnt help your odds of success.

It should work if cross contams dont set in and the mycelial slushie is able to re-establish and colonize the substrate. You didnt completely obliterate the mycelium so i think it would colonize but i would have removed the mycelial filament from the stem rather than macerating the entire stem

Fruiting oysters takes a lot of humidity compared to cubes. They prefer bags, tubing, baskets, and buckets compared to trays or a SGFC.

I used a layer of dry verm in one and no dry layer in the other--just to see what difference it would make.

Well, we shall see. I will post pics if anything develops.

It has been 9 days since I inoculated to 4 oz PF jars with mycelium shredded from a store bought oyster mushroom. One of the jars is showing the unmistakable signs--or sign--that myc kcolonization is beginning. I will pst a pic later today.
