Going from memory of a friend's highly simplified explanation of mushroom
cultivation, I've taken pieces of a local ostreatus fruit and placed them
between the slots of a bunch of strips of corrugated cardboard, soaked and
rolled them and left them in a cool dry place for about a week. Not a whole
lot of myceliation so far. I know the tissue is more than viable for
cloning, but without any real cultivation equipment readily available, is
this a decent method for starting an oyster patch? Is there an alternate,
preferable method? Additionally, would coffee grounds alone suffice as a
substrate? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Danny
