How to Grow Oyster Mushrooms Commercially using Pasteurized Straw

Growing oyster mushrooms on straw is the highest yield per substrate way to produce oyster mushrooms. Straw can be pasteurized and packed into buckets or sleeves with spawn for commercial production.

That was a very clear lesson. Thank you.

Outstanding video! Oyster mushrooms are delicious. We have them growing wild in a certain area of our property along with turkey tails.

nice sharing. I think we need an aerob step after inoculation. But, at 3:56 it turns out that after inoculation is done with aerobic.

do you not cover them in a bag during the incubation period. would the only conditions your are looking for during incubation is keeping the temps right? and darkness? not really humidity? Thanks for answering

How do you control the temperatures inside your fruiting room?

I've seen videos of farmers in Thailand growing with this technique, but the temperatures there will be much higher than what you recommend in this video. So I'm curious if they might be using a different strain of Oyster Mushroom adapted to the higher temperatures, or if the higher temperatures might just mean a lower than optimal growing conditions and thus lower than optimal yield?

Very nice video, I dont say that often! Very succint, not full of "um"s" and "Uh" and no excess info.

For how long does production typically take before the mushrooms stop fruiting?

[EvansSiame-vgdk]

Is it necessary to water or sprinkle the Mushroom bags during fruiting stage ?

i’ve been getting a bunch of free food grade buckets and have been looking for a good method using straw

[Rahman]

I've tried it at home using rice strow but after two weeks I found no micilium colonized inside my baglog and it contain much water and with bed smell. Then I just guess it was maybe I fill my bag too early and still too much water contain inside the strow. My question is.. (is it true to say that is becaous there are still too much water inside the rice strow. Or what?? Please give me your brief explaination!!. My Hello from Indonesia

I do want to know,
How much mushrooms that we can get from 1 straw bag?I mean in kg or pound
And how long the harvest period of the mushrooms until it cant produce again?

[daniel.frommholz]

Great video! I wanted to ask if oyster mushrooms let out a stink because i am considering growing a bucket in my apartment. Also does light play a role in the production process?

[donaldroske]

I understand pre harvest grain harvest they typically desiccant spray to kill the plant to make easier harvesting. Glyphosate is typically used. Will that transfer to the mushroom

[Metal]

Can you store the remainder of the mushroom spawn to use at a later date once it's opened? If it can be stored, for how long? Thank you!

[gailparsloe]

Awesome video, thanks!

Do you think it would work to put the straw in a 5 gallon bucket and fill the bucket with boiling water, then let it sit overnight? That method works with aspen chips.

I don't have a big pot to boil straw in.

I'm curious to see that you're cutting before full colonization. I've always waited for full colonization of the bags/buckets. What's your colonization time with this, if you don't mind me asking? As I think about it, does the FAE exchange, i.e., allowing more oxygen into the mix, help to speed up the colonization rate before cutting? What are your thoughts on this?

[jakerolfe]

Is it possible to incubate and fruit them outdoors? Weather conditions permitting

[rlsllc]

Should you grow the oyster mushrooms on the straw or use wood pellets? Or does it matter?
