question about straw teks
    #7776841 - 12/19/07 09:11 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I have been using rye berries for a while and figured it was time to switch it up and try something new. So I tried the straw, colonized it well and everything. But reading all the teks, they were a little confusing. So what I did was took a aluminum tray, i think it was 5 or 6" deep, laid down my casing mix (2 to 1 part of CoCo Coir to coarse vermiculite) laid the colonized straw on top of it, and put another layer of casing mix, about a little less than an inch deep. Covered it up with aluminum foil, and let it sit in an incubator set at 78 degrees for 5 days (it had mycilium showing through) . I then put it in the fruiting chamber. Nothing has happened yet, which i didnt expect anything for a little while longer, im being patient, just curious to know if this idea will work or did i do something stupid, and should I just try to stay with the normal teks outlined in these forums. Any feedback will be appreciated, just tired of the low quantity of flushes with ryeberries and was ready to try straw. Would appreciate some feedback from some of the more experienced out there, and by the way, I am using z-strain (not a big fan of, but it is all i had when i started) and pink buffalo which i have had great success with in the past. i would appreciate any help.

Coir is a substrate material, as is straw. I would have waited until full colonization prior to exposing to fruiting conditions. It will probably still fruit, but not the stellar pinset you could expect by timing the flush with full colonization.

So let the myc grow through the coir layer before introducing it to light and fruiting conditions
