Substrate coming out when picking mushrooms
    #27123271 - 01/03/21 06:33 AM (3 years, 25 days ago)

Hi everyone,

So I see those videos on youtube of people picking oyster mushrooms and they pick those big clusters and put them directly inside a cardboard box for delivery, and I just cant imagine how that is possible, cause most of the time when I pick my oyster clusters they pull off some substrate with them, and if I put them in a box the substrate will spread and make everything dirty. What am I doing wrong? Initially I thought I was using too fine of a sawdust for my substrate, but I tried coarser sawdust and the results are the same. Any ideas?

Cut the mushrooms off with a sharp knife or scalpel

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Make smaller holes in your bag if you want to pluck them off. Sometimes even then they don't come off clean.

Many growers also just sell them with a bit substrate still on them, for the chef to cut off. Most when sold by the case instead of weight.
Would be nicer to clean that off though.
