Indoor Food Supply... Edible Species that grow in bulk tubs.. CORONAharvest
    #26540944 - 03/17/20 02:39 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

The recent pandemic has asked questions about the stability of the world's food supply and has stimulated popular interest in food self-sufficiency. Even better if the food is indoors.

What edible mushroom species lend themselves well to the typical bulk tray tek in a greenhouse system? Species that could be tissue cloned from gourmet or common grocery stores would be best. Possible species to consider: Oyster, Shiitake, Maitake, Portobello.

The spawn is grain. The substrate is aged manure, coir, verm, and gypsum.
The system is Bulk trays tek in a greenhouse.

Not so interested in straw or sawdust or bags because of lack of immediate accessibility with current resources.

Thanks for your input!

King oyster does great in tubs/buckets/anything. They are often available at supermarkets.

Agree, if you're not going with sawdust kings may be the best option, they can be grown on coir I know.  Although I'm not sure the manure is going to do any good or not, most edible species that I know other than agaricus aren't really interested in manure.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Thank you for the input! I actually came across a whole bale of straw, so I will probably try straw bags for my King Oyster clones. I also picked up some White Beech, Clamshell, Pioppini, Bunapi and Maitake (I'll probably just eat them and not try to fruit) at the store. I have my work cut out!

Good luck!  Beech is one of my favorites, but it's proven itself to be extremely difficult to fruit, I had a little success but not much.  Same with maitake, although it's fun to try.
Pioppino on the other hand is an easy and fun one, give that one a go if you get the chance!  This was my FIRST attempt:

Thanks for the tip on the Piopinno, Forrester! I'm actually in the middle right now of divying up pasty plates for each species, so I will put more for that one.

Do you think straw in shoebox-type trays is feasible for the grow? I don't have any mycobags and I'm debating whether or not to get them... it seems like every indoor gourmet grower is using bags with the straw. I'm sure the bag is a little more secure from contams.

I think trays would work fine, I just used bags because I had them.  My sterile technique for most of my grows was intentionally pretty lackluster, I used lipa's tek on HWFP for nearly all my grows, so not even proper pasteurization.  Without supplementation/sterilization it's kind of a waste to even use filter patch bags because you know there's already plenty of contams in there, you're just beating them to the punch.

Thanks for the encouragement Forrester. Agar is hard at work and looking clean so far.
