Bored and growing some pink and blue oyster mushroom on wood lovers pf tek 2

So I decided out of boredome to make some wood lovers pf tek to grow pink and blue oyster mushrooms. Will be using some as spawn for a mini hay bale and maybe some bags of wood pellets to field capacity and fruit some from 1 pint cakes. 50/50 of wood pellets to fc and verm for a total of 4 cups of verm and 4 cups of fc wp and 2 cups of water. Came out perfect, just like any other brf cake mix consistency. Will be steam sterilizing for 4 hrs just to be sure. So follow along if you wanna see how it goes.

September 16, 2020 Wow these things have really taken off now and are looking amazing!

Sept 19, 2020 Such an interesting growth cycle

September 23, 2020
Here we are and the jars look amazing. The pink oyster is already trying to pink up and the blue oyster is a interesting solid white lol

September 24, 2020
Just birthed these two pink oysters today. Lol had funny little fruits up top. Opted to not soak before fruiting since they seem pretty heavy still. Might try a soak on a different one and see how it does and still need to pasteurize this the straw and get a bucket for it and maybe hang outside

September 26, 2020
Pink oyster jars starting to fruit. Also spawned two to a 2.5 gal bucket.

September 26, 2020 14hrs later
All these beautiful baby fruit look like coral

I know right lol. Maybe there's not alot of grows with pf tek done this way.
Im gonna take more photos of each step and try and get a precise amount of water to pellet ratio. Im going to try the 5 cups of pellets to 6 cups of water on the next batch tomorrow and see the moisture content of that and adjust if needed.
I'm really looking forward to the mini straw hay bale part. Gonna try half of it pasteurized in hydrated lime (if I can get some soon) and the other half pastuerized in hot water bath

Nice, good luck But be prepared, oysters need a shitload of fresh air exchange. A SGFC or monotub will not provide this, so without more modifications you might end up with long skinny stems and small caps.

Hmm I've grown some before and haven't had any problems from fae. But ill take note and adjust fanning times or fans if I see signs. Once hay is colonized I might move outside if I find a decent spot

Going to be making some more wood lover jars today with a 5:6 ratio of pellets to water. And going to be making some pasteurized substrate to case my shoeboxs I have going for another project.
Just got some coir bricks and more verm that are 8qt bricks in a 3 pack for $9.99. Gonna try bucket pasteurization and saw a hot bath jars tek I wanted to try for pasteurization that RR had mentioned one time.
So id load the jars and the fill pot to half way up jars and bring to boil for a minute or two and cut off the heat and leave closed and have one jar as a test control jar to measure internal heat and duration at that temp.

Poured 4 qts of boiling water into 1 8qt brick and 2 qt verm. After 20 mins I shook the buckets up and down and all around. Mixed pretty well and moisture content seemed perfect and evenly distributed so we will see after its cooled or sat for 24 hours

And here is some of my other projects

I've got Mycelium Emporium's Pink and Grey Dove oyster cultures.
The Pink Oyster culture is awesome !!! I did a couple 5 gallon buckets and some straw logs over the summer...they produced like crazy. After the buckets stopped producing I emptied them and mixed up the spent substrate with some more straw (not pasturized, not soaked or anything)..just mixed it up and sprayed it with the hose everyday for like a week...and more pink oysters started popping up all over the bed... whenever it rains heavy...they keep popping up. So much fun !!!
I pickled the pinks and grey doves and they were delicious ....the two quarts of pickled oysters mushrooms only lasted like a week...I just kept eating them !!!

Alright so I've inoculated five 1 pint jars with pink oyster. Injected in all 4 holes, but accidentally pressed to hard at one point cause needle clogged and shot out almost 2cc in SAB lol. So the last two I didn't sanitize in-between so I would be able to get all four holes. And then I made two 1 pint jars of blue oyster in all 4 holes and will do 6 more tomorrow if all goes well. Really need a bigger sub lol.

Cased these tonight with the 8qt coir brick, 2qts verm to 4qts of boiling water. I have to say this ratio was perfect and the entire batch was perfect field capacity. Also made two more shoeboxs of shredded cakes and this time I shredded them super fine and blended them with the substrate. But this time I decided to apply the casing layer after spawning. To see if there's is a differnece in my luck.

Oysters are good for pf tek I think, especially since they don't care much if a little contamination does get in. Look forward to seeing how they do.

I appreciate it. Probably gonna make 12 half pint regular pf tek tomorrow and then 12 of the small 4oz jam jars. I like to have stuff always going so it doesn't feel like such a slow grind. Plus more chances of success lol.

In the first pic we have the pink oyster on the left and the blue in the right, so far so so good. Shoeboxs are colonizing nicely and the recent ones are taking off quickly since they were finely shredded. The little mushrooms are growing more, fell asleep and didn't soak but will tonight. And some more jars for inoculation. Unfortunately everyone bought all the small shoeboxs so was able to get more but maybe later.

You can shake those grains now if you want and it should be done very quickly.
BTW don't let fully colonized oyster spawn sit long before you spawn it.

The grains are actually gt. I have 3 more grain jars but they show little to no growth unless its in the center. Yea I might shake it since it has some decent growth. I think I started them on aug 26.

Just birthed these two pink oysters today. Lol had funny little fruits up top. Opted to not soak before fruiting since they seem pretty heavy still. Might try a soak on a different one and see how it does and still need to pasteurize this the straw and get a bucket for it and maybe hang outside
