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)

      Thanks!

      You hate everything about them or just the taste and texture? These kinds of mushrooms aren’t anything like the grocery store brown button mushrooms.

      One of the ways I cook it, you wouldn’t be able to distinguish it from a pork steak. (I am a meat eater as well, btw.)

        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. ;)

                  It’s was for context.

                  I am not vegan by any stretch of the word, at all. Saying that a mushroom is a great substitute for some meats should mean more in that regard. Basically: As a person that eats meat on a regular basis is making a comparison that a mushroom can almost be a 1:1 meat substitute. A comparison like that is easier for me to make instead of by someone who may have only eaten one or two pieces of meat 10 years ago.

                  Understand now?

                    Don’t feel too bad, that person is a troll who’s been known to start trouble with others over very little or stupid things.

                  It’s weird to me that OP is an ambiguous reference at this point. OOP, if I may, was talking about a mushroom in a fucking mushroom community.

                  Edit: oh I see what you mean. Oh no! OP eats meat!? The horror!? I must post some irrelevant shit nobody asked for
