Blue Oyster Mushroom Straw Log (Living Mulch) Reviews

Great mulch, already growing a big mushroom! didn't quite have enough to cover a 4x8 raised bed

I’m just getting into living soil and organic. Liking this product so far. A little bit more than I need for my 3 X 3 bed. But just set it to the side til I need more.

I ordered expecting to grow a round of mushrooms then using the straw as mulch. In the description it said to put 5-10 1" X slits in the bag and you should see mushrooms in a few days, I did 8 X slits and kept it in a dark area with a little ambient light as directed by a BaS rep. I thought I had a dud but after about 3 weeks they finally started growing. Got some delicious mushrooms out of it and now it is mulching my plants beautifully. I just wish it would have been quicker to grow so I took away 1 star.

Was too freshly inoculated, after 5 days only maybe 25% mycelium coverage and its not like you can shake up straw to redistribute and increase coverage speed. I just opened it and tried to make sure the spawn was well mixed before distribution to pots. It does seem like our garage tents appreciate the slow co2 release,though

Arrived in great condition. Working out nicely so far.
