Swordbelt is crazy, awesome, crazy awesome, and I love it!
    #23674565 - 09/24/16 04:51 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Three weeks ago, I inoculated pasteurized wheat straw - hot water bath, if anyone's curious - with Aloha's Swordbelt spawn at a rate of 10% wet weight into 6" diameter mini-logs.  This was mostly out of curiosity and I didn't expect much out of it.

Well, a day before I left on a 5 day vacation - 14 days after inoculation - one of the 3# logs started putting off pins.  I was pretty damned surprised considering it was sitting at 75F, but thought, "what the hell, it's a fluke".

 

I got back 3 hours ago and found this.

 

These all grew in open air (50-55% RH), at 70-75 degrees, in less than 3 weeks.  12% wet weight BE from the three most mature mini-logs.  I'm in love!  :loveeyes:

You have got to try the all natural tek if you can do that at 50% Rh.
That will get amazing BE, water when needed, walk away.

Any chance of a trade, not available in the UK.

Turns I can get Black Poplar, so no trade needed.
Added to my list of mushrooms to grow.

SWEET! Those are nice looking mushrooms. I'd also like to know what you have to say about their taste.

I got a LC syringe from mycosymbiotics a couple weeks ago, it's taking off on grain but I'm still a few weeks out from getting it to bulk sub. I hope they like growing as much as yours did, Aloha has really good cultures.

I'm currently mulling over spawn to buy from Aloha, you might have sold me on this, are they fairly marketable?

Here we go, Agrocybe aegerita. It seems to have a few unique variations.

I tried the Sporeworks strain a few months ago on straw, pretty much the same setup.  They pinned but stopped dead pretty soon after.  I think a lot of it would be strain dependent.

I'm honestly not sure about their marketability as I've yet to sell a single mushroom in my life :lol: .  I just started my commercial grow ambitions a few weeks ago and I'm sitting on ~600 lbs of sub at the moment waiting to head into the FC.  This was more of an experiment really.  I'll have 40 lbs of oysters to sell in the next week or two, but I think given these results I'll probably have to think about making this a regular species to grow.  This was from a culture I took from the Aloha sampler pack and it's incredibly aggressive, on par with oysters IMO.  The texture on these guys is firm and crunchy.  It seems like they'd hold up pretty well in the fridge.

Thanks!  I just got back from the grocery store, so I hope to find out soon.  Baguette with goat cheese and mushroom duxelle!

:super: That looks like it's gonna be tasty.
So about that sampler pack, what else have you fruited and liked out of it?

Sounds like a challenge, Swordbelt vs Black poplar. Same strain different variation.
It can be confusing, people incorrectly label variations as strains.

Species: Agrocybe
Strain: Aegerita
Variation: Black poplar

Species: Agrocybe
Strain: Aegerita
Variation: Swordbelt

I'm guessing Black poplar has changed in requirements.

Agrocybe is the genus , not the species

and a strain is a lower taxonomic rank, used "below" the species


Genus : Agrocybe
Species : A. Aegerita
Strain : Swordbelt

The strain is the variation within a given species.  Black poplar doesn't have too many commercial strains around so most people grow swordbelt. 

Take shiitake for example, there are many strains that are all shiitake but different growth and fruiting morphologies, 75, 3782, PS1, TS1, etc...

There is an Italian strain that I've read about . Someone on Shroomery had a grow, they looked like excellent yields and I think they were comparing to Swordbelt . Asheville Fungi has the strain.

Looked it up it's name is Atricoz
