Notes: last run produced 12 lb from 6 buckets, which can be stacked on a 1 square foot area. They take 1 month to fruit per flush. So in 3 months, all is done. 6 buckets are an average of 1 lb per week - which is very productive for a 1 square foot area. | |||

Second batch started fruiting, but bodies dried up. Garbage bag was used to cover 3-bucket tower. Result: this batch got contaminated, did not work. Only minor fruiting. Lesson: make sure to clean buckets thoroughly. It could have also been near-frozen substrate outside - left too long and temperature was not good for active mushroom establishment. | |||

Talked to Natalie at Field and Forest. Obags - [http://www.fieldforest.net/10-Oyster-Bags-18-x-36/productinfo/OBAG/]. Ordered Golden Oyster for immediate shipment - [http://www.fieldforest.net/Oyster/products/85/]. In 3 weeks - Pink and Grey Dove. Figure: one 4lb bag of grain spawn per 12 lb dry straw, or 1/3 bale - or One 4 lb. bag of grain spawn will inoculate about 40-80 lbs. of wet pasteurized substrate. Fruiting is 1 lb wet mushroom to 1 lb of dry straw. Total last time - 12 lb mushrooms produced. | Talked to Natalie at Field and Forest.
