Growing edibles on beechwood
    #7768405 - 12/17/07 06:54 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I was planning on growing shiitake on brown rice flour cakes like it is done on the "let's grow mushroom " video.
I'll substitute the vermiculite with sawdust like it says, but I have a hard time getting my hands on oak chips and sawdust. It seems any local sawmill use woods from needle trees and some birch, but i read that hardwood is needed as substrate.
Well today I went by the pet store and found bags of beechwood chips and a search told me it is harder than oak.
I searched here, but there isn't a lot posted on beechwood here.
So can anyone tell me if beech is a Good substrate to use?
:confused:

Oak chips shouldnt be that hard to find, i can pick them up in about 5 places less than 10 minutes drive away.

i cant help with the Beechwood question though :frown:

Use any locally available hardwood, which will be something different in each area. Beechwood is hardwood, so should work fine.
