That’s $4.20 in Australian money. I could get it posted from England for cheaper than what I can buy it here. If you had to pay Australian prices it would be 13.30 pounds per kg

I too am heading down the agar path but I have a microbiology background so its not too difficult. I am used to growing fungal plant pathogens on agar so mushrooms cannot be too far apart.

Thanks Adam Straw is a lot cheaper and I can buy it in large round bails each weighing aprox. 350kg. I am in the middle of the grain growing belt in the darling downs Queensland Australia. I pass the hay through a mulcher to make it look like the hay you use in the vidio. I am just waiting for the sporn I have ordered as it takes 3 weeks to make. I finished the course in one afternoon.

G’day from Australia,

I have been reading other forums on mushroom growing and they use lucerne hay instead of straw as the higher protein levels produce mushrooms with higher protein and better taste. we have access to other legume hay/straws such as Pea hay, Peanut hay, mung bean and soy bean hay or straw. what’s your thoughts.
