Very nice ! Looks like a good yield.

Pasteurised straw? Any details would be great - esp fruiting conditions. Do you know the strain? Site specific Kings are few and far between.

EDIT looked at your earlier posts for a few details..

Thanks,Yeah the top one is pasteurised straw and the other one is pasteurised wheaten chaff with 5% gypsum.
Don't know the strain.
Fruited in my fruiting chamber at 60-90% humidity and between 10-20 celcius---yes I get that much swing during the day/night due to FAE requirements.
Yield is around 100% on first flush.
I know why these are called Kings now,they are just so delicious.

That's a result.
How long did you incubate for and when did you cut holes? Spawn rate?

I ask because I have tried numerous times to grow kings on straw with zero success.

Very nice result! :thumbup:

I'm interested in details as well. I know you probably don't know all so estimation would be appreciated.

Weight of whole log?
Spawn volume/weight?
How long since pins to mature fruits?
How long till they started pinning from the first day in the chamber?

Are you sure you got 100% yield?? Cuz that means the log weights as much as all the mushrooms from first flush? :shocked:

When people talk about yield like that he's probably referring to biological efficiency so that's 100% of thr dry substrate mass.  Not too crazy with oysters grown on straw since straw can hold so much water.  The best oyster cultivators  I know pull 100% BE on the first flush.  Not me though :p

Glad you all like them.
The log of straw only weighed about 3kgs when spawned because I didn't chop it up and couldn't compress it very hard.As you can see it wasn't fully colonised either.I colonised it for 3 weeks-1 week at fluctuating low temps and then when my new colonising room was finished it got another 2 weeks at 24 celcius.
The block of wheaten chaff weighed 3.3kgs when spawned.It had 2 weeks in the colonising room @ 24 celcius and colonised fully.
Both were inoculated with 200 grams colonised wheat (it was 200 grams when inoculated) and around 5% gypsum.Ist pins showed after only about 4 days in FC and It was around 14-15 days before picking.
My yield figures are BE-sorry for any confusion.So if I have a log that weighs 10kgs wet there's about 3.5 kgs of dry substrate and I expect to get 3.5 kgs of mushrooms from 3 flushes.(this is the figure I work on for all my varieties but the Kings are the only ones I seem to get it all from the first flush)Don't get me wrong I only started doing this in Feb 2015 so haven't had a lot of experience.
I am going to case 1 of the blocks for the second flush to see if there is a big difference from uncased ones.It's very hard to tell though as I had one block growing with these that only produced 2 mushrooms-hoping that one will give more on second flush.
I have included another pic of my new size logs-10kg each-with lovely white oysters that need picking NOW!
Hope I've answered all questions.Only too happy to help if I can.
Edit-I punch holes in the bags when spawning - I have found (the hard way)that not enough and the log won't colonise where it can't breathe.

that's cool you have access to wheat chaff.  i bet it's a great substrate!

I only started using wheaten chaff because straw was unavailable at the time but I'm a convert now.I think the fact that there is a lot of grain in the chaff makes for extra supplement ?

no doubt.  but the chaff itself probably has more nutrients than just straw.

Thanks.
I use my whites to make Chickenless chow mein.My wife and I are vegetarian and heading toward being vegan_just need an egg substitute-just for the yolks- I have discovered Aquafaba for the egg whites.
I use the kings to make Steak(less) and mushroom pie.Chop caps up into chunks,slice stalks thinly,one onion,1 clove garlic 1 1/2 teaspoons vegemite or any yeast extract,fry up in coconut/olive oil or both add water and thicken then bake in pie--even my carnivore friends don't believe there's no meat in it.
My brother just crumbs the whites and deep fries them.
