📋 CH 10–12 · Species + methods + cooking

Sheets: Oyster, King Oyster, Shiitake, Hericium, Reishi, Agaricus ...
PF Tek, Monotub, on logs, SGFC
Drying, powdering, nutritional values

🌾 Comparative substrate table by species

Extracted from Chapter 3: choose the right substrate based on the mushroom you want to grow.

Species	Ideal substrate	Recommended additives
Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster)	Straw, coffee grounds	Sawdust, bran
Lentinula edodes (Shiitake)	Enriched sawdust or log	Rice bran (20%)
Hericium erinaceus	Hardwood sawdust + bran	Gypsum, soy
Agaricus bisporus	Manure compost + straw	Gypsum and peat moss
Flammulina velutipes	Softwood sawdust + bran	Low nitrogen for enoki

*In Chapter 3 you'll find complete tables for over 13 species and advanced formulations.

🛠️ 5 step-by-step methods included

🧪 PF Tek Method – For beginners: jars, vermiculite and brown rice flour. Perfect for low budget and small spaces.

📦 Monotub – The most productive technique: plastic tub, high yield for Oyster and Shiitake.

🪵 Log cultivation – The natural way: mycelium plugs (dowel spawn) and outdoor wood, harvests for years.

🌬️ SGFC (Shotgun Fruiting Chamber) – Perfect fruiting chamber for those seeking total control of humidity and FAE.

📦 Pre-inoculated kit – The easiest way to start and learn by observing the complete cycle.

Each method is described with materials, timelines, explanatory images and tips to avoid mistakes.

🩺 Immediate diagnostics (Chapter 9)

❓ Mycelium not growing

Cause: substrate too dry, lack of sterilization, or weak spawn. The guide teaches you how to test viability and intervene.

🍄 Deformed mushrooms

Oxygen deficiency (FAE) or unbalanced humidity. Learn to adjust airflow and recognize symptoms.

🦠 Green mold (Trichoderma)

Enemy number 1. Discover how to prevent it with hygiene, pH control, and emergency recovery techniques.

📊 Complete diagnostic chart

A practical symptom → cause → solution scheme, handy to keep an eye on during cultivation.

🍄 13 detailed technical sheets

From the easiest (Oyster, Pioppino) to the more challenging (Maitake, Reishi). Each sheet includes: timing, temperature, specific substrate, harvesting and tips.

Pleurotus ostreatus Pleurotus eryngii Shiitake Lion's mane Reishi Pioppino Maitake Enoki Golden oyster Pink oyster Stropharia Button mushroom Nameko

⭐ Plus: a dedicated chapter on preservation, drying and nutritional values. Discover the power of beta-glucans and how to integrate mushrooms into your daily diet.

🍄 Start your journey into mycelium

No experience needed. From biology to your first harvest in a few steps.

Instant digital version | Compatible with all devices

✓ Over 240 pages of clear, conversational content ✓ Updatable ✓ Bonus: tables and checklists

🧼 Sterilization & hygiene (ch.4)

Learn the 3 main sterilization methods (pressure cooker, steam flow, chemical) and low-tech pasteurization for straw. Fatal mistakes to avoid.

🌾 Spawn production (ch.5)

Rye or millet grain spawn, dowel spawn for logs, and how to isolate a vigorous strain on agar. Advanced hobbyist techniques explained calmly.

💨 Incubation and fruiting

Ideal temperatures, dark or light? FAE and humidity. How to obtain abundant and multiple flushes. Includes the chapter "Mushrooms and molds: unwanted guests".

📈 For all levels

Whether you use a ready-made kit or want to create your own mycelium from scratch, the guide accompanies you with a motivating tone, never too technical but always precise.
