Recently UMDIS Mushroom Information Agency published the article about critical lack of straw in Spain. Similar situation we see in other countries, for example in Poland where the largest compost yards during last years struggle to find good straw for compost in that amount which is needed. We tried to offer some alternatives which can be used for compost production instead of straw. For this reason, we talked to one of the best specialists on compost and mushroom production in Europe and America, Raymond Samp, owner of Agari Culture Mushroom Consulting Services.

In Poland and Europe, shiitake is produced on two types of substrate, which differ not only by the country of origin – but also by the characteristics of the mushrooms that are produced on them. Shiitake in Europe are produced on European and Chinese substrates. In Spain, 60-80% of shiitake is produced on Chinese substrate. Because in Spain, ordinary people appreciate the quality of mushrooms. However, in the whole of Europe, for example in the Netherlands or Belgium, only 5-10% of shiitake is produced on Chinese logs.

The fact that it is possible to copy mushroom strains without respecting the rights of their creators has inhibited the breeding of new mushroom strains for many years. In previous years, a number of attempts were made to protect the ownership rights of new strains without success. Only Amycel took up the challenge of protecting its original strains. This mainly applies to the Heilroom brown strain with quite a large effect. Work on the development of their strains was undertaken in France by Euromycel E-58 Premium and in Poland by Spyra F 1 GP.
