Oyster on cardboard substrate questions
    #26760059 - 06/20/20 02:52 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey all,

This is my first time attempting to grow oysters from scratch on cardboard.  This is where I'm at:

  • Bought an Oyster grow kit
  • took some of the mycelium from the kit and put it on agar
  • transferred the agar to sterilized popcorn
  • filled two grow bags with field capacity cardboard (mostly from boxes)
  • sprinkled in a quart of the grain spawn into each grow bag
  • the bags have been colonizing for 16 days


Day 3


Day 16


My plan from here is to let them keep colonizing for up to about 4 weeks to make sure it is fully colonized.  Both bags are fully white and feel stiff, so I think it's definitely getting there.

Once they are colonized, then what do I do?  Just slice the plastic for oxygen and mist?  Any thoughts appreciated!

My egg-boxes colonization usually takes 2 weeks, you don't have to wait 4 weeks, they are ready.
Put them into fruiting conditions, make them grow from the side(s), not from top.

So they can fruit off of just plain cardboard? I never knew, amazing

Slice an x in the side and fruit! Looks good!

Not shiitake, kings almost certainly, although they won't want to fruit out the holes you cut like that.

Shiitake - take them from bag when brown.
Kings - cut whole bag couple cm above substrate.
Oysters and lions - cut X or slice only at the bottom of the bag and turn it.
