green mold on oyster growing on straw/coffee
    #23757218 - 10/21/16 07:42 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

I used to successfully grow oyster mushrooms using straw and coffee but stopped doing it for a while.  I took it up again, and was greeted with green mold. After doing reading I realized that I was boiling the straw, and not pasteurizing it at 160 to 180, so subsequent grows, I made sure I watched that it didn't boil.

However, I still got green mold.  Now I wonder if it is the coffee - I did put it in the microwave for 3 minutes before, but wonder if that is not enough to pasteurize it. In the past I put the coffee grinds on the stove, but the result was much too wet, so that's when I decided to use 2/3 straw which had been soaked in detergent for 24 hours then pasteurized.  I added about 1/3 by volume of coffee grinds that I had put into canning jars and boiled for 1 hours.

Can coffee grinds be used successful as an additive?  or should I use straw.  I also add a little alfalfa pellets
