Wheat bran/other supplements on rye grain?
    #23413631 - 07/05/16 12:26 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Is this the proper way to supplement straw for oysters, and can you get shiitake to fruit on straw with proper supplements? Is that worth it? haha

Also what are a few ways people are getting wood chips and sawdust?
All sources seem to be evading me! lol

Im not sure what you mean in the title, you dont need to supplement rye grain spawn.

also dont supplement straw unless you are sterilizing it rather than pasteurizing it. Ive gotten shiitake to fruit on pasteurized straw with no supplements, but the results were less than desirable. Oysters do great on pasteurized straw with no supplements.

I use Hardwood Fuel Pellets instead of woodchips/sawdust. The type used for pellet stoves. They are usually $5 for a 40 lb bag in most hardware stores. They are out of season right now, but you may be able to find some.

I think peoples results are less than stellar growing shiitake on straw. You would be better off growing oysters on straw. If you want to grow shiitakes invest in a single barrel sterilizer, there are a couple threads right now on how to build. Super easy. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23399229/gonew/1#UNREAD

Another way to find oak sawdust is to find a local cabinet maker, and pester them into giving you sawdust, return with fresh mushrooms, repeat.

Like sourcing most things, finding sawdust is a matter of picking up the phone and ringing as many people as it takes until someone can help you or knows someone who can help you. Where I live, it's very hard to find people milling hardwood, as pretty well 100% of wood around here is pine (pinus radiata). But eventually you'll find someone who knows a guy.

I just walked in the door now after picking up 500kg of hardwood sawdust, I gave the guy who hooked me up a box of beer...the universal "thanks bro" currency.
