Best substrate/techniques for highest yields for commercial production?
    #27124207 - 01/03/21 03:40 PM (3 years, 25 days ago)

Which is better, rice straw or a soy hull & hardwood sawdust mix? Or is there something better?

For now I'm looking for the highest yields possible for oyster mushrooms, and recommendations for other strains I'll move onto eventually. Thanks

I've almost exclusively seen commercial growers using hwfp and soy hulls.

They say 100% oak, so presumably they work perfectly. You would just need to make sure they break down when mixed with water. The package says it stays together while burning, so perhaps something has been added to help it keep its shape...I'd ask the folks selling it, but they look good. Worst case, just buy some and see if they work. If not you've got some logs to burn.

I've tried using Briquettes here where i live cause i cant get my hand on hwfp. My experience with them was not great for a couple reasons. They are difficult to break when dry, and they dont hydrate thoroughly very easily, so you end up with some clumps of dry sawdust. They also expand a lot when they absorb water, to the point of stretching the bags and deforming them in the main axis of expansion. I ended up giving up on them and got back to natural sawdust.
