Coffee spawn for reishi
    #28618909 - 01/12/24 04:30 PM (16 days, 28 minutes ago)

I've been favoring pasteurizing unsupplemented sawdust, because it doesn't have to be Sterilized.

If I want to supplement reishi indoors but still take advantage of pasteurized fuel pellets, I'm thinking of sterilizing coffee (with some sawdust or shavings or wood chips to improve texture and introduce wood to their diet) in filter patch bags.

Grain spawn is ready to go this 'coffee spawn', which once fully colonized, can be spawned to unsupplemented, pasteurized fuel pellets (sawdust), and fruited in barrels or trash cans with a clear lid, favoring a high co2 environment for fruiting the antler form of reishi.

It seems like the best way to add supplements, while limiting the pressure cooker use to only sterilizing the supplements.  Is there a reason people don't do this?  would this work for other supplements if a fungi could fully colonize various supplements?

you mean using coffee as spawn at a high rate to increase yield? That is fine and is a practiced method. Mostly tho grains are the supplement instead of coffee. Grains are also highly nutritious and (I'm guessing) easier to work with than coffee.

Yes I mean spawning at a high rate to sawdust, using grain to coffee as spawn. 

Would grain spawn be more nutritious than used coffee grounds? 
Equal?

coffee is free.

I'm sterilizing some mixed with chopped sorghum straw from the garden.
and some coffee mixed with wood chips.

to try them out

I'm not sure if coffee is more of less nutritious than grains but probably similar.

Coffee is free and if you're motivated then it's worth trying it out.

how do you all keep coffee grounds from molding before using them? i started collecting some way back when, but they would mold within 2 days.

Put them directly into some plastic container put them in the freezer immediately until they add up to be enough.

But I just drive by the 'organic grind' and empty their recycling bins into my truck, take it home and usually add it to my compost pile there's so much.  The stuff on the top is usually from that day.
