[Digestion] Growing Mushrooms from digestate

[Helge Böhnel]

Dear Wayne,

this is just to tell you, that mushrooms may carry pathogens which originate
of course out of the growth substrate. Clostridium botulinum may one of
them. So take care and act responsibly.

Regards

Helge

Betreff: [Digestion] Growing Mushrooms from digestate

 

G'day all!

I'm looking for information (and experience) on growing edible mushrooms
using anaerobic digestate.  I'm trying to get the most out of processing of
waste organics. 
I've grown button mushrooms but have read that the digestate isn't good for
growing them.  Maybe there are other types of mushrooms that can be grown.
We will have straw and other farm residues available to us.  Also if I can
use dry digestion I get to keep nutrients in the digestate that would
normally be in the liquor. Can anyone point me in the right direction?  
Blessings,
Wayne
