What to do with oyster colonized on agar?
    #27799028 - 05/30/22 12:45 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

I didn't really think this through and made petri dishes of pink oyster thinking I could grow them in a tub like other mushrooms. But I see now they grow better off a vertical surface. What do you do with oyster agar? Would I be able to use it to colonize a pasteurized substrate? I am thinking of using hay since I have some for my pets. But would agar work or is LC immensely better? I do have most of the LC left over still.

Can I transfer to grain and inoculate a bag with the grain? I'm just having trouble finding a tek that goes through all the steps for this kind of growing.

Agar > Grain > Sub.

I'd still transfer a little piece to some LC so you have a backup and a good inoculation source that can be multiplied over and over.

Straw works. So does masters mix in bags (maybe a top fruiting jar would work too).

Just don't go agar straight to sub. Grain first.

Gotcha that makes sense! Do you mix anything with the straw or just pasteurize as is?

Haven't personally used it but I am pretty sure it's just pasteurised straw yes.
