Recommendations For Straw
    #22256264 - 09/18/15 01:34 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I haven't grown any mushrooms in 10 years but saw a couple straw bales at Wal-Mart today and decided to grab a couple just to play around with.

I am familiar with techniques and procedures albeit probably a bit rusty.  I'm also having my friend mail me back my copies of Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms and The Mushroom Cultivator so I'll have those back in my possession sometime next week.

What do you guys recommend growing on straw?  And how about spawn material?

Oysters are what immediately came to my mind, but I just wanted to hear what you guys had to say before I jump into this little project.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome back!  :wave:

When were you planning on having your spawn ready?  If it's going to take a little bit before you're ready to go (October/November?), I'd vote some cold-loving oysters.  Maybe some blues or kings?  Assuming you're not in a warm climate of course.

How about the paddy straw mushroom, milky mushroom, silky rosegill, king tubber, and some strains of shiitakes. Also lions mane if the straw is shredded into smaller pieces. Oysters of course, gotta love oysters.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!

I'll look into those.

The spawn definitely won't be ready until around the end of November or so.

I've got a lot on my plate right now so I'm just starting to think about how I want to tackle this project.

Any recommendations for what to use as spawn?

Last thing I ever used 10 years ago was rye and popcorn.

Also, I'll make a new thread on this, but think I pasteurize my straw using my Sous Vide cooker and vacuum seal bags?
