dogs and mushrooms
    #5246859 - 01/31/06 01:08 PM (18 years, 26 days ago)

My poppie loves shiitake and Eryngii.
It's maybe my 30th dog and have never seing one eating mush except this one. He can eat a pound of them in one time. He likes only shiitake and eryngii!! nothing else ??
Does someone have heard about poppies could eat mushrooms?

Here's my poppie "Mico" and I

Dogs can eat some mushrooms including those as well as coreolus, reishi, maitake and cordyceps.
Some dogs are allergic, and some mushrooms can only be handled in smaller amounts.
1) always try just a small amount first
2) never overdo it anyway

I am really surprised to hear your dog can eat a pound at a time! That is the most I have ever heard, but mushrooms are also a "by weight" thing and he looks like a pretty big dog.

I don't know if that much all at once is too good for him, but I feed my dogs and cats small amounts of these mushrooms for nutrition and disease resistance.

Good looking pooch! :smile:

Best Wishes Always!

holy mushroom batman!!!  Micololo,  I don't think that's a dog. I think it's a polar bear. :grin:

Stamets sells a powdered mycomedicnal for animals. It contains cordyceps, reishi, maitake, and shiitake. It is called MUSH.


On a side note....  How are you planning to keep insects and pests away in your "trenches"?

Good luck too! from reading your other posts I bet you are going to be pretty busy tghis season.

cheers- norm

Hi Norm and Ohm,

My Poppie name is Mico. He's only 16 months old and eats like a bear. He is really strong, nobody, no stray dog, nothing at all come close to him. His bark is very loud and making scare. He's always loose on the land and do every thing I ask to him. Easy to train. About a month ago he killed a stray dog in around 30 seconds but I never had the time to stop him. He chase everything, like I showed him, squirrel included but they are to fast for him. Anyway they are scared and I don't have them around anymore and it's good for my mushs.

The trenches will be cover by a structure. The walls will have a special plastic shade cloth and it's good for 12 years (UV treatment). The roof is made with used metal sheet. The footing is cement blocks and cement.
The floor will be straw or natural ground, depend the species.
The cost of one 40'X 15' trenches structure is $1 600. Left the sprinklers to add. That's really cheap.
I think I could install between 360 to 420 6 pds blocs, depending the species.
Last year I sold my mushs between $9-14 a pound.
For flies: All around the structure, flesh eating flowers will grow.
Inside the structure some drosophila flies pheromone traps (that I made)will be install, Near the entry yellow sticky plastic board too, and all around the inside structure. That should be enough.

In the past I've never had flies problems with shiitake, only slugs.
Try shiitake outdoors with sawdust wood chips blocks. It's amazing the yield you can get, and the quality. Did you see my B.B.Q. shiitake? It's something.
The yellow oyster is the worst to grow in case of flies.( hard to say in English, wishing you understand)

If you see any kind of problems I could have and you have ideas that could help me, I'll be please to know and I'll thank you.

There are quite a few variables that I could see as being problems, or rather challenges. Bugs was one of them, but you have that under control.
Then I was thinking about heat build up, but the sprinklers will cover that.

Is the straw on the bottom of some of the trenches meant to keep up humidity? Will it be changed often? Will you pasturize or sterilize it first? I may be wrong, but wet straw seems like a breeding ground for contamination.



It is obvious by your posts that you have put a lot of thought and effort into your design. I wish you the very best. Please keep us updated on the process, and progress.

oh- yeah, one more small question. are the folks who gave you the capital regulating where you can sell your harvest? do they take a percentage of your earnings?

have a good day- norm

1. For the straw question: From the experiences in the past, the straw is not pasturized and even not sterilized. The blocks are in place when it's time to fruit so I get my shrooms before contam shows. I change the straw after last flush.

2. The heat wont goes up that much even if the sprincklers are stopped. Because the blocks are in trenches on the wet ground and under shade the temp. stay lower. I've experiment the blocks right on the wet ground and having really good success. The straw is only to help cleaning after the flushes, If there is contam it's start on straw and less on ground. Ground is harder to clean.

3. I got the money from the government from innovations and research department. They pay 75% of the spendings. They don't help for saling but I keep everyting.

If someone could try like I do, we could exchange problems and solutions.
I'll post other pics from last year experiences, if you're interested.


If it works well, next year, I'm planning to built up for at least 5000 blocks. The gov. will still pay another 75% for development.

Thank's a lot for your support, interest and ideas Norm.

Wishing the best

Micololo2
