oyster mushroom in unpasteurized straw?
    #23772340 - 10/26/16 05:06 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hi there.
I was wondering if oyster mushroom grain spawn will colonize unpasteurized straw. That means only soaking the straw in normal water (how long? 1hr?2hr?) and draining, and inoculating with GS. The outside temperature is about 25C.
Does that work?
Has anyone tried it?

The reason we pasteurise is to kill off bad bacteria and mould spores and to keep some good bacteria which helps the myc survive. Not doing so would just lead to contams.

if you want any chance for the straw to colonize the temp need to be around 45-50f.  we just soak our substrate(water over night) in the winter and over spawn our substrate.  hope that help.

At the very least put some dish soap in the mix. I got about a 15% contamination rate the first time I tried that, but otherwise was a super easy entry into growing oysters.

:mushroom: My trade list :mushroom:
Looking for strong terrestrial fruiters for an outdoor beds experiment:
Agaricus Bitorquis, Agaricus Augustus, Agaricus blazei/subrufescens, Stropharia Rugoso-annulata, Clitocybe Nuda (blewits), and any species or other genus that you think work outdoors.
Also, any commercially viable Pleurotus, cold or hot strains.
Thanks for the Q&A, trades, and all the posters & teachers that have come before us  :skol:

It's not that hard to boil a couple kettles worth of water. Put the straw in a pail and wrap it in a blanket. Or use an eskie if you got one.
