Are most/all straw pellets pasteurized when made?

"Straw Pellets make an excellent medium (substrate) for growing a range of gourmet mushrooms.  The pelleting process pasteurises the straw removing competitor organisms that would otherwise flourish.  Consequently they do not require further treatment (pasteurisation or sterilisation) other than re-hydration."

Does this mean i dont need to PC pellets before use?

Like for instance, mixing spawn, pellets and Water directly the same day, instead of PCing first after hydration or whatever

You don't PC straw anyway, you pasteurize it.  I had never heard of straw pellets until I saw that link.  If they're made at high temp, then they should be ready to go.  Why not just get a bale of straw?

Hey RR, nice to see you around still and thank you for all your contributions to mushroom growing practise. Sorry for misusing sterilization/pausteurizing. I guess we simply pasteurize straw.

Hale bays and hay/straw in general, is readily more available, but these 15 kilos of pellets was given to me for free, makes sense to use them, they are also very space effective compared to bales in a urban apartment.

If they pasteurize the hay by heat/compression to make the pellets, it sounds possible that you could get away by using them directly.

It sounds like you agree.
I will give it a go without treating them.
And share my results here on shroomery

What variables should i write down?
I can for instance, write down the amount of grain spawn
in grams, i used to inoculate the straw pellets
