We should party
 
I see all sorts mushrooms when I'm out cutting grass and often think I'm mowing over some good shrooms. Maybe, I'll start documenting the varieties I come across. Interested to know the benefits, if any of the mushrooms that grow my area. D3 you might be the most interesting man on this forum.

nah I doubt it, I really can't ID any field mushrooms though that's something i'd like to learn more about. I'd love to go morell hunting and stuff. Got a buddy in Washington who's always posting cool finds up in those pretty forests.

oyster mushroom mycelium growing on rye

I inoculated a bale of pasteurized straw with it then put into poly mushroom bags, each bag weighs about 25lbs. I'll snap a few pics in a minute, they are just about to fruit

Growing mushrooms is dope ... but not many of the culinary one's thrive in the climate here.

I feel like pizza with mushrooms now

 

[grantmichaels]

I feel like mushrooms and Fantasia ...

 

[FreeportBum]

these are Italian oyster mushroom bags. I like the Italian oysters the best they are really large bodied and meaty almost like a porcini 

took about 11 days for these ^ bags to become completely white with mycelium 

the web of life ^

bad pic ^ but you can see where the red arrow is tiny little bumps that are starting to pin out that will turn into mushrooms in just a couple of days

How much mushrooms do you expect to yield from that batch? Really interesting stuff.

if everything goes well a good rule of thumb is 1lb of mushroom for every lb of straw

What works better, straw or corn kernels?

 

[FreeportBum]

What works better, straw or corn kernels?

Pasteurized straw or lime soaked straw works by far the best for oysters. There are certain strains that prefer to be grown on logs though.

After doing some extensive mushroom research this afternoon (watching youtube videos) think I will try and inoculate something this weekend.

Sterilization is of the utmost importance ...

Any products you would recommend?

Any products you would recommend? 

stick with FB's program but just for fun - many moons ago (decades) - we used virex and bleach for our process ...

i barely remember, but i helped a friend with this once ...

things have probably come along to improve or simplify the process ...

Very intresting on the mushroom theme .... this time of year in the UK we see the large field mushrooms which are great to eat ... totally agree that a little knowledge can be dangerous as eating the wrong species can be fatal

The Scotch Brain long was it an unintentional cross
