Help making shiitake spawn
    #21913838 - 07/08/15 08:07 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

So iv got some shiitake growing out on grain now almost colonized and want to transfer to sawdust for inoculating logs outside. Will this amount of grain be ok outside or is there a better way of preparing sawdust spawn for logs? Also if acceptable what would a recipe be? And are dowels better or sawdust spawn?

Making sawdust spawn from grain is fine. Just wondering what amount of grain you are speaking of.... and for the recipe, how much sawdust would you be preparing? For me, usually I use 2 quarts of spawn to a Large spawn bag of pasteurized sawdust. You could get away with just 1 quart of grain but I use 2 just to speed colonization and supplement at the same time.

I haven't done logs with sawdust but I have with dowels and it seems to me that dowels would be much easier, or at least less messy.

Hope this helps a little!

Thanks for the info it does help a bit I think I'm just going to do  1 quart to  1 large bag of sawdust and see how it goes what is colonization  time on that?
