Liquidambar woodchips for shiitake cultivation
    #25049927 - 03/08/18 04:40 PM (5 years, 11 months ago)

So my landlord just had a liquidambar tree in my front yard cut down and the stump drilled out. I grabbed a few logs to inoculate with shiitake plug spawn but after I placed the order the vendor told me they were actually out of stock and I wouldn't get the spawn for another 3 weeks. They said the logs are fine up to 6 weeks after being cut, whatver.

When they drilled the stump out they produced a lot of wood chips that they left. I'm thinking they would make good shiitake spawn. What if anything should I do with the woodchips to give me the best chance of using them in a few weeks when the plug spawn arrives? Right now they're just spread around outside. Also how should I treat the woodchips when the plug spawn arrives? I have a pressure cooker but gallons of woodchips. Should I soak them in hot water for a few hours and then toss in some plug spawn? Or better to make a LC from the plugs and use that on the woodchips?

Your talking about sweet gum? Not understanding the concept, shiitake spawn. Your wanting to grow shiitake bags on these wood chips? Maybe elaborate?

Yes sweet gum. I ordered some plug spawn to inoculate the logs of sweet gum but I also have a lot of sweet gum wood chips. Thought maybe I could inoculate the wood chips and get some mushrooms more quickly than waiting for the logs. Just wondering the best way to go about it.

About the only way I know this to work is by sterilizing bags. I'm assuming the stump was ground and is fairly fine wood chips? Dirt is all mixed in with them? Please explain more......
