In this video, I show you how to use the simple but effective technique of Cold Water Lime Pasteurization to grow mushrooms on straw. The process is pretty simple, basically just soak straw in a water bath of hydrated lime for 12-24 hours, drain, inoculate, colonize and fruit!

Put your straw in onion bags to make it easier to handle while soaking. Great video.

@homesteadinggunsmith1474 2 года назад

that's a good idea, easier to remove from the soak after!

@metlwrker4285 Год назад

I got a 15 pack of 5 gallon paint strainers which I have used multiple times. I fill them 3/4 full then tie off with a rubber band drop into a less than half full 20 gallon waste can with my lime mix.(I put 2 grams per litre of hard water)put a cement block on and soak for 16 to 20 hrs

@@semi5alpha some mushrooms, especially oysters, need a bit of sunlight to trigger fruiting. This is due to their position on the forest floor and using leaf drop (and therefore more sunlight) as an indicator of ideal fruiting time.

@@semi5alpha mushrooms don't go through photosynthesis like plants, but they ARE photoreactive! Although you CAN fruit any type of mushroom COMPLETELY in the dark, you will have odd shaped and colored fruiting bodies, as light helps them form in the familiar ways we know and love!

@southafricanrhino 4 года назад

Thanks, Tony! Your videos are fantastic. I've watched how you grow mushrooms on mushroom beds outside without pasteurising the straws. Do you recommend pasteurising the straws before inoculating them to grow mushrooms outside? Would that make it less hard for other things outside to grow in the mushroom bed or will pasteurising makes no difference when growing outside?

@FreshCapMushrooms 5 лет назад

Awesome! Thanks so much for the comment. Yes, this method really is fantastic. You can re-use the lime water as well (add more straw for another soak), or even measure it out so you have just enough water to pasteurize the lime, with almost none left over. I can't believe how good it works!

@rosehebrewable Год назад

For draining our limed straw we took a plastic garbage can and drilled holes in the bottom. We then forked it in there when done to drain and placed a heavy weight on it overnight. it was fine the next morning to load into the growing containers. You can use the garbage can for regular use by just using a bag in it.

Tony, another great video. I'm in the process of trying this pasteurization process out but with 3.5 gallon buckets...will let you know how it goes. One question: is the water and lime mixture a one use thing or could you pasteurize multiple batches of straw by possibly adding a bit more water and lime...basically trying to see if there is a way to save water. Thx

@homesteadinggunsmith1474 2 года назад

I like how you set them up outside but that would be destroyed in a day in Saskatchewan. We rarely get a day without wind, and usually it's more than enough to blow that plastic away or shred it. Our tarp shed is done after just 2 winters.

When you talked about humidity, surely outside is still quite low end of the optimum parameters for growing oysters?

@mikemason4758 4 года назад

As the consolidated substrate drys out it pushes fruiting bodies. That low end humidity helps fruit, but isn't great for mycelium growth. That's my understanding anyway.

@nowwhatwhere 3 года назад

The drier, the less probable it is for wood's own defense against mushrooms and such is still active. Hardwood, green grass, whatever is used. I believe there is another reason, also, so...all growers I have read say 1-year old substrate. I am hoping that the lime will take of this, though, since I have no way to know how old mine is GL to all!

@christophersmith8014 5 лет назад

If it's just a matter of driving the pH up then ashes should work just as well. If you have access to free fresh wood chips or shavings from a mill you can burn a batch for the ash needed to sterilize the rest. Magnesium shouldn't be an issue there since it would otherwise be present in the wood as well, though I guess it could concentrate it some. Seems like it's worth an experiment. I was considering burning shavings to heat water to sterilize the batch, but if I can skip heating the water then that's all the better.
