Is straw/hay found by construction sites okay to pasteurize? (also, in need of experienced outdoor)
    #5658146 - 05/21/06 09:27 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

They line the edges of construction sites with bails of straw or hay to stop the mud from running. I was wondering if this stuff would be okay to use since I'll be pasteurizing it anyway.

Also, any know if I can pastuerize a huge amount of straw(several bails) , spread it out over a 10x10 square patch in the woods and wet it with a huge amount of lc slurry described in GGMM chapter "natural cultivation"

"For those wishing to begin a mushroom patch
using fresh specimens, a more efficient method
of spore collection is recommended. This
method calls for the immersion of the mushroom
in water to create a spore mass slurry. Choose
fairly mature mushrooms and submerge them in
a 5 gallon bucket ofwater. A gram or two of table
salt inhibits bacteria from growing while not substantially
affecting the viability of the spores. By
adding 50 ml. of molasses spores are stimulated
into frenzied germination. After four hours of
soaking, remove the mushroom(s) from the
bucket. Most mushrooms will have released tens
of thousands of spores. Allow the broth to sit for
24-48 hours at a temperature above 50? E (10? C.)
but under 80? F. (27? C.) In most cases, spores
begin to germinate in minutes to hours, aggressively
in search of new mates and nutrients. This
slurry can be expanded by a factor of ten in 48
hours. (I have often dreamed, being the mad scientist,
of using spore mass slurries of Morels and
other species to aerially "bomb " large expanses
of forest lands. This idea, as crazy as it may initially
sound, warrants serious investigation.)
During this stage of frenzied spore germination,
the mushroom patch habitat should be
designed and constructed. Each species has
unique requirements for substrate components
for fruiting. However, mycelia of most species
will run through a variety of lignin-cellulosic
wastes. Only at the stage when fruitbody production
is sought does the precise formulation of the
substrate become crucial."

Thanks

No I would not, even if the bacteria are killed there are other contamination that will not, chemical speaking.

Be safe and dont use that.

i've used bales of straw that have been outside in a park for a month w/ good results, but a construction site might have some bad things.

growing outdoors from spores is not very practical
just use spent cakes/casings or even fresh cakes and save yourself alot of time and advil - for your headaches
