Do you plan on lime or hot water bath pasteurization? Here is my video on using straw.
I have actually seen your video on straw before. How much does that standlee straw cost?

Hey Ted, if your having trouble sourcing straw it may be worth into looking into sawdust or fuel pellets, in the end many people move to wood from straw because of better yield and quality of fruits. Just a thought if you haven't invested in materials for straw logs yet.

Hmmmm, If I was looking for hygienic and clean straw, I would check pet stores. Pet sections in malls (supermarkets), and even general goods stores.
If you have a farm nearby, they might have a farm shop. I would Google around for large get stores.
Take pics and drop them here.

Here you go Ted, pet section of eBay. Straw pellets, mix that with anything. Straw and wood pellet mix, or straw and paper pellet mix, so on.
It might ok by its self, but could powder.

I bought some organic mulch and mixed it with sawdust and other goodies. Mulch is just about everywhere and cheap.

Sure straw logs inside is done all the time. Just have to be able to give them humidity and fresh air.

Depending on the oyster variety they can withstand light freezes. I have chopped ice of wild ones in my area.

I think the amycel lady said that all they had was their "blue-grey" strain

The grey is the amycel 3015. Hey Ted, you do not want to be fruiting large logs in your house like that, you have to exhaust the spores completely out or you will get seriously sick and develop an allergy to oyster spores so bad you won't be able to grow them anymore. Happened to me when I started and to plenty of people like Roger Rabbit, in fact he almost died from oyster spores. "Mushroom pickers lung" is something that people develop even in controlled grow rooms without the right protection. Just be careful, growing a few oysters on the counter isn't a huge deal, but fruiting multiple logs like that is recipe for bad health.

Oh so I guess I should avoid growing indoors. Thanks for that info. I'm just worried about temperatures.

Hm, Im not really trying to set up a tent or other shelter system. Would temperature ranges of 30-60 degrees F be too cold for oyster logs?
