Using Mahogany for edibles?
    #6743156 - 04/03/07 05:26 PM (16 years, 11 months ago)

Anyone have any experience with using Mahogany saw dust for hard wood lovers? I have access to a bunch of it and was pondering on giving it a try since it's free and easily accessible. I don't have my copy of GGMM handy and am clueless. Anyone?

It should work, I don't think it contains resins or latex.

No resin. I'd think it will work also. I guess there's only one way to find out. :cool:

Just make sure it's course sawdust. Often the stuff from furniture making is very fine. If you use fine sawdust, you can mix it with vermiculite to break it up before mixing with woodchips.

This stuff's from a planer, so it's about the perfect size. The company also has red oak dust for me, but that stuff's really powdery. The mahogany's from a planer and the red oak's from sanding. So i'm hoping the mahogany will fruit fine and the combination of the 2 will be a good mixture for bulks. They throw away around 30 gallons a week, so just that source alone, along with the pile of white oak mulch I have should keep me straight for a while. Or forever really.

Thanks guys.

Well I used some of the dust for some King's and it's performing kind of weird! The pin set was decent with large primordia, but it appears the mushroom growth is outrunning the digestive process or something. The mushrooms are thinning at the tops, but have yet to abort. Really odd. I wouldn't recommend using it if you have access to it, which is probably unlikely. :lol:

I'm picking them. It's really strange! I suppose the wood is just too damn dense. Everything's perfect besides the lousy mushroom growth.

This one has primordia forming on the cap.

Man that is just,  I don't know what to think! Thats weird. How long did it take to fully colonize the sub.

A hair under 9 days. A compost block that size goes ballistic with my oyster strains. That one started out good, but just seamed like the digestion wasn't keeping up with the mushroom growth or something.

Maybe try keeping the mycelium in the veg state for longer before inducing the fruiting- and be sure to dunk before beginning fruiting.  Maybe if the mycelium stores enough energy before beginning, it won't need to rely so much on concurrent digestion/energy conversion to produce fruits.  This will mean much longer times in between flushes, but that's probably going to happen anyway with wood as the substrate.

Just a guess.

I just tried it to see how it would work. It'll be the last time.

Disappointed with the results that much? or is it just that there are other "better", already known substrates?

No, I don't really care. The fruiting is a lot poorer than I thought it was going to be though. Compost or weathered horse manure is the way to go with oyster mushrooms. I was curious to see how this wood would work out.

would there be a problem with the reddish color of the mahogany or excess chemicals that give it its color?

Thank you Mr. RR
