Spawn to sawdust
    #22408979 - 10/20/15 11:47 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hey all!

A noob question I know but I've searched and can't find what I'm looking for but then again maybe I'm not searching for the right terms.
I've got some experience but not much with bulk.
I'm planning to grow my first reishi innoculating some wild bird seed and then spawning that to some supplemented sawdust and fruiting from there.

My question is, what is the best practice to spawn it to the sawdust?
As it will be sterilised due to the supplementation won't exposing it when spawning introduce loads of contaminants in there that could ruin it?

You would need to spawn it in a sab glovebox or flowhood. Or just a well cleaned bathroom with the counters and floor sprayed down with water to collect dust. You can always use unsupliment wood for starters and play it safe for a smaller yield then move to suplimented as you gain experience. Then you would just pasteruize the substrate, that's what I would recommend. And just fruit inside the grow bag.

I wouldn't try supplemented until you have more experience. If you use unsupplemented you can simply pasteurize and use a higher spawn ratio to supply more nutrients and increase the colonization time.

No aseptic technique needed other than the pasteurization and washing your hands before spawning to unsupplemented. :shrug:

reishi as you will read more about is not a huge profit crop. What you get is what you have typically... enjoy growing it as it sure is a unique and beautiful crop. If you want a more productive crop look to oysters.

Bringing back an old thread here.

What do you all mean by 'supplemented' ?
I understand what the word means, but what specific supplements are you speaking of?

Gypsum, coffee, ? Are those both considered supplements?

I want to mix 50/50 coco coir and Oak, hydrated with boiled coffee/gypsum water. Allowed to pasteurize. Then cool, then mix spawn. About 1:1 ratio.

This would be done in open air, should I instead use just coco/oak, without gypsum or coffee? Thank you all.

In edible grows coir is totaly unnecessary, rather use sawdust way better :wink:
gypsum and coffe are supplementes but with "supplemented" they usually mean something like bran. of course your substrate have to be sterilized then because it would contamn with just pasteurizing.

Alright.
Then I'll just spawn to Coffee/gypsum/coir.
Usually I use Oak in the sterilized subs but this time I just used grain
