im growing from around fifty pounds of oak i cut in september and im so excited to see the first primordia in my winter incubator here in january. wood grown is much more tastey and nutricious than the paper grown so i heard
how long does it take for oyster mushrooms to start to grow? ive been waiting for a couple of weeks now and just have mycelium, or does it depend on species?
Hey Dean, can you take some pics, and email them to me? I believe you have my email. You might have too much food for them to eat. And they will not fruit until they reach a barrier. Does that make sense? Thanks, Olga
hey dean. you will get a few. if you can get your hands on some white or blue oyster spawn, you will get more out of it. Pink oysters do great on shredded paper. :) Olga
hi olga, the shredded paper i used with the golden oyster spawn is covered with fluffy mycelium i hope i do get some mushrooms off it, i havent been able to get white or blue spawn as yet, but i have got some pink and grey so i will try it with these, thanks Dean
I don't know if I would eat the oyster mushrooms though!. Mushrooms are known for abosobing toxins in the environment. Make sure the substrate is toxin free if you want to eat 'em
Oyster mushrooms can break carbon bonds in crude oil. Look at Paul Stamets' TED video on here "Mushrooms save the world." They can also destroy E coli.
@CearaQC - Cool! But what about toxic chemicals/ heavy metal residue in inks? Or God-only-knows what they use or what residues (dioxins?) result from 'modern' cardboard and papermaking processes?

will the wax be dangerous when u'll eat the mushrooms?

the wax will not translocate into the mushrooms, so you are safe.

actually, oyster mushrooms are well known for breaking down toxins, so they are safe to eat afterwards.

Great system. What a way to rid yourself of junk mail (without waxy surface, of course.)
