A few questions for Gourmet growing: Mixed sawdust / Pasteurized masters mix for oysters
    #26952772 - 09/24/20 01:28 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hey all, new to the forum but have been dabbling in mushroom cultivation / foraging for many years. A few years back I did a handful of oyster grows on lime pasteurized straw in 5 gallon buckets. Went well because I used a ridiculous amount of spawn and had quick colonization. I am now at a new property with a ton of hobby space and am getting back in to regular cultivation to feed myself and my wife cause we just freaking love big fat meaty oysters and lion's mane. I have secured a cheap source of soy hulls (7.5$ per 50lb bag) and a cheap source of mixed hardwood saw dust (Same price, 7$ per 50lb bag). I also have another saw mill that will save me some oak sawdust whenever they can. I have a few questions I was hoping someone could answer:

Growing on mixed hardwood sawdust? The current source I have is from a cabinet / furniture restoration workshop and it is all hardwood, but not all oak. It can be a mix of cherry, alder, oak, maple, etc. Anyone have experience growing on mixed sawdust instead of just 100% oak pellets for Master's Mix recipes? Any recommendations for ratios of saw dust to soy hulls to water when not using pellets?


Growing on pasteurized Master's Mix in 5 gallon buckets with oysters? Oysters colonized ridiculously fast, and I was curious if anyone had experience with using pasteurized Master's Mix in 5 gallon buckets with oyster grows? I have access to a large burner and 50 gallon metal drum, so I can boil the mix quite easily, but might be hard to get the moisture content correct. Also obvious concerns around contamination since it is a semi-supplemented mix with the soy hulls. Given that oyster can colonize so quickly, and I have an abundance of rye grain spawn now that I make my own, can I possibly succeed with this just using a higher spawn ratio to ensure quick colonization? Anyone have experience with pasteurized master's mix in buckets? My main driver for this is eliminating additional plastic usage (The biodegradable bags from shroom supply never seem to be in stock :frown: ). I have a ton of buckets and lids and hoping to put the cheap substrate I have access to to use without using more plastic.
