Our Expert's Opinion NEW

Tony, our resident mycologist, has this to say.

Pros
  • Excellent Air Exchange - Straw provides a loose, fibrous structure that encourages gas exchange and mycelial respiration.
  • Balanced Nutrition - Combines the microbial benefits of manure with lignin/cellulose from straw — a proven combo for many dung-loving species.
  • Higher Yields & More Flushes - Lignin content supports long-term substrate stability and extended flushes.
  • Quick Activating, Healthy Nutrients - The combination of manure & straw rapidly delivers sustained nutrition to mycelium.
Cons
  • Increased Contamination Risk - Straw doesn't hold moisture very well (see tips) increasing contam risk.
Tips
  • Overcome Potential Water Retention Issues - As straw retains moisture poorly ensure that it is kept below the surface and is evenly distributed throughout your sub.
  • May need a Casing - Used with a variety of strains, it may be necessary to use a casing so research if you are unsure.

Product FAQs

How do I use this item?
Mix it with a fully colonised mushroom media. We recommend at least an inch covering on top.
Do I need to add any water?
No - this substrate is already hydrated to field capacity. Field capacity relates to the relative moisture content of the soil required for the mushrooms fruiting bodies to harvest.
