This is bad... What materials did you use to make the substrate? And how did you process it?

In my video there is a photo with a straw substrate and a sunflower husk substrate. Chopped straw can be pasteurized in hot water. The water must be at least 80 degrees Celsius. There will be a video about this on June 16th. If you are making just a few small bags, you can take a large container, put straw in it and pour hot water, after 1 hour, drain the water to remove all the dirt and dust, pour hot water into the straw again, and leave for 2- 3 hours. Then drain the water, cool and mix with grain spawn

@@veshenka_expert_info Thanks for your reply. You have some great mushroom growth and information. I had poured a jug of boiling water on some of my chopped straw and put the lid on and left it wrapped in a blanket overnight. I do this with coco coir and vermiculite mix to pasteurise it. I tried this on some other mushrooms with some success in the past, some got contaminated. I am learning and built a small flow hood with Hepa filter and four computer fans with speed controller. I put some of my new Blue Pearl Oyster grain spawn on an agar plate and in sterilised brown rice pressure cooked jars. The jars are already colonising heavily in just a few days. The agar plate has spread across half the petri dish. The mycelium is colonising the straw in my bag. They are currently in a steel locker cupboard with a heat pad on the shelf below them. The growth rate of this Blue Pearl Oyster Mycelium I purchased is extremely healthy and fast. I saw a video for small grows of high humidity loving mushrooms, such as oysters and dung loving species. he placed a jar of water with an airstone in the jar from a small aquarium pump. The setup was then place in the larger tub. The water filters the air for FAE and also creates a fine high humidity mist in the tub with lid. There were some holes in the tub for FAE. I might give this method a go. In the past a fanned the mycelium at fruiting stage and misted with a fine sprayer several times a day.🍄

UA-cam did not inform me about your answer, I saw it only now. I wonder how much vermiculite you add? And for what? To maintain humidity or does the mycelium grow faster with it?

@@OysterMushroom_expert-tech I know ;) my son is half Ukrainian ;) greetings from Poland

It's a pity that the smell can't be conveyed through the screen. But lemon (golden) oyster mushrooms really smell very unique. Many people believe that this smell is similar to the smell of not quite fresh fish. If the mushrooms are elastic, their flesh is without spots, and their color is rich, then they are most likely good. And the smell will disappear during frying.

@@This_is_my_old_channel That's right- not so freshy -fishy ;) no signs of contam tho. They look very meaty, healthy, spotless and yellow, but the smell got me bit worried. Thank you very much for your reply, appreciate it

Have you eaten your golden oyster mushrooms yet? How do they taste?

@@OysterMushroom_expert-tech Yes I have. They smelled little fishy even after frying them but the taste was good. I still have pink oyster growing and the smell is similar. Not my favorite. I prefer grey oysters and I love my shiitakes and nameko ;)

@@mrnobody1456 Pink oyster mushrooms have a very delicate structure, I have not seen this in other species. And I also adore shiitake) and eringi.

Thanks for your feedback

I will gradually post all old videos on this channel. I will also add new videos here.

I am a specialist only in growing oyster mushrooms. These are the topics on which I can provide consultation. veshenka-expert.info/en/consultations-on-oyster-mushroom-problems/

I am going to write you an email explaining better what I am planning on doing. In summary it's production of several types of mushrooms, including oyster (shitake, champignon de paris and lions maine also). In a subtropical west African climate.

@@andrews4731 OK. Writing a letter would be the best option. Be sure to indicate the area in which you live so that I can look up on the Internet the distribution of temperature and humidity by month in your region. Also, please indicate from what raw materials you make the substrate for oyster mushrooms, shiitake and hericium (lion's mane). Approximate prices for consultations are in the article.
