Yes, oysters and shiitakes work well, you should contact Professor Fanaticus who wrote the PF tek. I have tried reishi on PF formula, but only got large blob like growths, may have worked better if I had burried the birthed cake in some type of casing soil.
Most of the edibles I have grown are PF style, meaning I use the same PF Tek technique but use a modified substrate. The main claim to fame I see the PF Tek haveing is the utilization of a contamination barrier.

shitake work great. regular pf tek. no changes need. be patient. it takes a while. wait to see a lot of brown on the cake before you birth it. makes a great cover story.

Yes shiitake works on rye (also if i haven't never tryed, but do not think to harvest kilograms of lentinus edodes : ). It's a saprophyte of the 1st block (in this block there are mushrooms that work on raw materials never "used before" from others organisms)
Have a nice grow!

Hey SenselessRebel, Brown beech grow using supplemented oak sawdust intead of vermiculite. It would probably work with PFtek, I can't remember seeing it done.

Just about any hardwood sawdust will work. You will have to do the supplementing yourself by adding something like brown rice flour, or oat bran or some other grain product. Most commonly ground grains are used as supplements.
For the sawdust itself Pellet fuel that is made out of hardwoods can be used. You add water to the pellets and they soak it up and fall apart into wet sawdust. Then add whatever you are going to use as a supplement. You want to wet the supplemented sawdust to the point that only a few drops of water come out when you pick up a handful and squeeze it.
Corn cob animal bedding can be substitude for the sawdust. This is what Phillips Mushroom Farm uses. The corn cob animal bedding can be found at some pet stores.
