Oak Vs Pine - Mushroom Farming

There's been a lot of take lately about pine or softwood fuel pellets (SWFP) being bad for growing mushrooms on. This is not the case. I almost exclusively use SWFP, and get great yields. This video is a comparison of softwood to hardwood fuel pellets (HWFP). The HWFP is an American Oak, and the SWFP is Pinus Radiata grown in NZ. This species is considered an invasive species in NZ, and grows in huge numbers in the wild. Master mix is the substrate of choice, as it is a very high performer.

The test shows that SWFP is a viable option, performing only slightly worse than the HWFP.

HWFP came in at an average of 0.674g, and SWFP came in at an average of 0.62g. SWFP second flush came in at an average of 0.377g.

This means I get a nearly 1kg on average for every 4.8kg block, that has 2kg of dry substrate in it.
