When you supliment sawdust how much bran do you generally add? Is it sp specific? Thanks

its species specific...and is covered in ggmm




a recipe of stamets sawdust bran fruiting formula would be

12 lbs sawdust
7 lbs woodchips
5 lbs rice bran
1.5 lbs gypsum

hyphaloma sublateritium and some others dont really require supplementation, and he was quite emphatic both in the book and at the seminar that going above 15% bran supplementation was detrimental to fruitbody formation.

Interesting, because the above recipe is 20% bran. Personally, I don't go over about ten percent. You have to also consider the rye you're using as spawn in the supplement category. I typically inoculate 5 pound substrate bags with a full quart of rye berries. If you use too much supplementation, shiitake performs poorly with lots of aborts and mutants. Oysters and Lions mane do fine with higher supplementation. It's definitely species specific.

I believe he's growing Reishi in which case I've been told 5% bran for nitrogen adjustment.
