The way I understand it is that the cubbies have to be layed down cauz they fruit on all surfaces
unlike the oyster that will fruit at the holes.
so the idea is to use some kind of container(laundery basket)
but what if one used a sack like a burlap sack or
plastic mesh(I prefer to try the burlap since I have a lot at my disposal)
I notice when I washed one in hot water the weave tighted up, and I'm guessing that the mycilum will grow truogh it.
but will it flush thruogh it?
I have some solutions to this I cuold wash the sack in cold water but I won't get good sanitization
or i could cut out some of the treads making it losser but this is laboruos.
Pros are the durlap could act as a caseing layer
and the logs could be hung up by the sack eliminating the need for shelves and saving space.
and I understand that plastic sould be used through colinizatiuon, to maturing pins.
This straw sack tek could also be used with oysters to achive biger yields.
ANY INPUT ON THIS???? |

I have thought for awhile that the burlap should work well. Try it and see! |

Some places grow shrooms commercially in sacks like you speak of. They just put the substrate in the bag, and then case the top. Fruiting occurs out of the open top of the bag.

Or it may look something like this.
Good idea imo. It will probably fruit right through the burlap, although plastic would harbor fewer contaminates. I've often though of using one of those nylon mesh hammocks for a large straw/dung grow.  How about onion sacks or something like that?

lol
burlap, when wet, is subject to molds.
i'd use a sythetic fiber instead personally.

mycilum a chance to colinize the straw?
and if not any ideas to keep the burlap from contam?

You might try those little zip-up laundry bags that women use for "delicates' ie, hose, bras etc.The hole are a nice size, has a zipper, and is nylon. Probably easier to sterilize too. I'm not advanced enough to really understand what you guys are doing, but I understand the concept, and that just popped into my head. |

I've heard of people growing cubies in burlap sacks inside barns.
supposedly they hang them let them colinize and they start to pop out of everyside.this is supossedly done in oregon where the weather is nice and moist.
just what I heard.
but like visions said more air =less contams.
maybe thats how they got the mycelium to overgrow the contams.
but sounds like it would work.

visions had another great idea that works well, i know because i tried it.
and that was growing inside fancy micro-filtered pillowcases. zipper, lets air in but keeps microbes out, stuff it with straw and spawn. see archives, use search function, for more info on his pillow case method.
