For my conditions, it seems that 50/50 hardwood saw dust/wheat bran is performing better than standard masters mix. It’s probably a hair too humid for it in my tent, but it’s gotta be higher for the oysters that are fruiting now.

(That is a 5lb block of substrate)

    I guess hate is a strong word. As I like to say, if it ain’t meat or a vegetable, I’m not eating. 😂 It’s the texture I suppose. I’ve never had yours before.

      Totally fair.

      Mushrooms can be weird and the most common ones we see (shiitake, button mushrooms, etc) are very similar in texture. Kinda boring, and I understand why they can be off-putting.

      Gourmet mushrooms like this do not transport or store very well so they are not ideal for mass distribution. It’s a shame, honestly. Mushrooms have such a wide variety of tastes, textures and appearances. You probably wouldn’t even know it was a mushroom I fed it to you, TBH.

      Then there are the fun mushrooms that I also grow… Those will just rock your world. ;)
