Mushrooms on<br />

Enriched Sawdust<br />

When sawdust is supplemented w<strong>it</strong>h a n<strong>it</strong>rogen-rich add<strong>it</strong>ive,<br />

Rice bran is the preferred add<strong>it</strong>ive in Asia. Most brans derived<br />

from cereal grains work equally well. Rye, wheat, corn, oat, and soybean<br />

brans are commonly used. Flours lack the outer seed coat and,<br />

by weight, have proportionately more nutr<strong>it</strong>ion than brans. Other<br />

more-concentrated n<strong>it</strong>rogen sources such as yeast, soy oil, and peptone<br />

require precise handling and mixing at rates more dilute than<br />

bran supplements. The nutr<strong>it</strong>ional tables inAppendixV will help cultivators<br />

devise and refine formulas. Mini-trials should be conducted<br />

to prove su<strong>it</strong>abil<strong>it</strong>y prior to any large-scale endeavor.<br />

For the cultivation of Shi<strong>it</strong>ake (Lentinula edodes), Enok<strong>it</strong>ake<br />

(Flammulina velutipes), Ma<strong>it</strong>ake (Grifola frondosa), Kur<strong>it</strong>ake<br />
