Premium, dust-extracted, chopped and sterilised rapeseed straw – The perfect food source for growing oyster mushrooms.

Many people say growing mushrooms on straw can be a messy affair, and it can be if you’re chopping bales yourself or you’re getting dusty old straw bales from the farmer!

Home-based mushroom cultivation on straw is now a cleaner and more enjoyable affair. Our dry, UK-harvested rape seed straw is first chopped into the perfect 1-3 inch length, dust-extracted (all dust removed), passed through gamma radiation which kills 99% of all bacteria, mould, allergens and spores and finally packaged into sealed plastic mini-bales. This ensures straw remains dry, fresh and contaminant-free.

We use the same straw and cold water ash pasteurisation to grow our oyster mushrooms on a commercial level. Don’t forget to order your horticultural grade gypsum for increased yields.

Straw can be hydrated and pasteurised using either hot water/steam, lime, wood ash or even dish soap – or a combination of methods.

Packed in highly compressed, none-clumping 20kg bags.

Jim – 23 July 2019

Cleaner than the straw I can get. Less dusty. Saves time and is less noisy than chopping up with a grass strimmer in a wheelie bin, wrapped up so will stay dry. It's more expensive than buying bales from the farmer but more convenient in so many way.
