Amazonian Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) I think you can grow Shiitake on compressed straw. Or have you been down that avenue? Edited July 13, 2010 by Amazonian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omsource Posted July 14, 2010 CERES will be harvesting a ton of oak logs in the next month or so, specifically for shiitake cultivation. I'll PM you when it happens! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I havent tried straw to be honest, I would prefer logs as hey are easy I have 50 shittake dowels I got from Omsource and they recommend using oak logs as they last longer and dont root out as quickly as euclyptus . I cant wait to eat some home grown shittakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted July 17, 2010 Mate dont bother with Oak - shiitake are farmed off Eucalypts in Brazil and grow well off thin barked eucys (im trialling regnans and mountain grey) and grow GREAT off black wattle/blackwood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
