Re: Oyster Mushrooms 1st grow
    #5770987 - 06/20/06 01:13 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I decided to start with oyster mushrooms because I have read they are the easiest to begin with. I purchased a fully colonized "log" and was wondering what the easiest way to continue growing after the log runs out of nutrients without having to buy another log every time. How could I use the old log to colonize new substrate? What would be the easiest substrate to use as far as price, availability and nutrition? How do I pasteurize and sterilize the substrate? I know oyster mushrooms will outcompete other organisms, so would sterilizing in a microwave be suitable? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can take piecies of colonised log to inoculate substrate. Just like agar i guess.
I am using straw at the moment. Its easy to work with, cheap and highly nutricious for the likes of oyster mushrooms. You will want to pasturize (160*F) the straw for this job, not sterilize. The straw must be shredded to readonable sized piecies which helps loading containers and makes the straw absorb more water.
The straw is then cooled, mixed with your colonised woodchips (if u can make that with an axe), pack down VERY tightly into plastic bags (i use oven roasting bags), cut off the bottom corners of the bag for air exchange and incubate at 65-80*F.
Heres a good site to read up on: http://anthro.fortlewis.edu/ethnobotany/special_events/0YSTER.htm
