How to Grow Mushrooms out of a Laundry Basket - Cold Water Pasteurization Method

Cold water pasteurization is the most efficient way to prepare bulk straw substrate for oyster mushroom cultivation. Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) raises the PH of the water to 13 effectively killing competitor organisms and allowing the mushroom mycelium to dominate the straw matrix. I use 330 grams for a 55-gallon metal drum. This method is advantageous when considering how much more effort it would be to boil a 55-gallon water drum. You can add pasteurized straw and grain spawn to PP5 buckets with holes or laundry baskets.
