Thanks for that video. I don't think I'd seen it yet. But, regardless, it appears that there is very little information on the subject of paddy straw mushroom cultivation. Hopefully my endeavor will be fruitful and I can help shed some light on the species. Perhaps I'll write up a growlog in due time, so that others can experiment with it as well. It's a very interesting mushroom with decent culinary value.

I'd definitely be interested in following along with that. good luck!

7suns has been posting a fair bit regarding paddy straw mushroom cultivation in the gourmet section.

TL;DR:
Has anyone experienced colonisation issues or prolonged colonisation times with overly heat treated grain (in this case rye)?

I recently switched to rye, and I've tried different approaches for the prep.

All quarts.
4h soak + boil. (Dried well afterwards)
20h soak + boil. (Dried well afterwards)
Pure boil. (Dried well afterwards)

This was done with three combinations: pure grain, grain + gypsum and lastly grain + gypsum + coffee.

1,5h at 25psi (not a typo):
- Pretty much every jar contaminated.

3h at 25psi (still not a typo):
- All jars seem perfect, no clumping, no sign of contamination.

However, they seem to have dramatically slowed growth compared to that what I've seen on oats when inoculated with agar.
Those inoculated with LC show absolutely no sign of any biological activity. They're just dead.

Any input on this?
Those at 3h I'm either having some sort of time perceiving dissonance, the oats are quicker, or filter quality issues.

Has anyone experienced colonisation issues or prolonged colonisation times with overly heat treated grain?

Not with rye, but I've done all in one substrates that wouldn't colonize because I ran them three times (long story).

Stamets also mentioned something along similar lines with wood blocks in Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms. My understanding is that has something to do with a chemical reaction in the sugars.

I'm about to run some plates and if I remember I will see if I can find the reference in the book when I finish.

I'm not sure if I recall correctly. Do orchas perform well with lower or higher fae and Are they comfortable with slightly wetter sub/conditions or no?

That'd be awesome! Thanks :smile:

Crossing my fingers they'll take... Worst case I'll go at it again, keep 15psi and run them shorter.
The 25psi @ 3h seemed so safe 😂

...

Can confirm I have had that happen as well. I was testing grain water absorption in long cycles. I ran some grains through 2 sequential 3 hour PC cycles. They retained the the hydration based on weight comparisons to the controls. Those jars took much, much longer for the mycelium to leap off of the agar and colonized very slowly compared to other control jars using the same culture. Some did not colonize at all or stalled completely.

They like a little more oxygen, unless you want the spaghetti fruits.

I ran some in my pan tent recently and cased them. They seemed to love all the extra moisture.

And I believe this may have been a wild print. As it wasmarked as a wild cube and sent to my friend from South Africa.

This is in regards to sawdust of course.

But here's what he said.

'Prolonged steam sterilization results in a complex chemical transformation. I have yet to find a chemist who can adequately explain what happens from prolonged exposure. Suffice to say that turpentines, changes in volatile oils, and toxic byproducts are responsible for this radical shift in sawdust's mycoreceptivity. In the end, the substrate is rendered entirely inhospitable to mushroom mycelium.'

And he said that with sawdust blocks, this happens around the 10-hour mark at 15 PSI.
