G'day Wayne et al,
There are still some nutrients in the solids, just less of the soluble ones like nitrates and more of the insoluble ones like phosphate. Happy digesting, HOOROO -- Mr. Paul Harris, Room 202, Charles Hawker Building Faculty of Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Waite Campus, PMB 1, Glen Osmond SA 5064 Ph : +61 8 8303 7880 Fax : +61 8 8303 4386 mailto:paul.har...@adelaide.edu.au http://www.adelaide.edu.au/directory/paul.harris CRICOS Provider Number 00123M ----------------------------------------------------------- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential and/or copyright.

From: digestion-boun...@lists.bioenergylists.org [mailto:digestion-boun...@lists.bioenergylists.org] On Behalf Of Wayne Zschech Sent: Friday, 17 February 2012 7:46 AM To: digest...@bioenergylists.org Subject: [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
