This is really interesting 🧐 Could a bed be set up using an old water butt, cut in half and the base cut out, then filled with recently dropped off wood chip? And then some spores sprinkled on the top? Keen to give mushroom growing a go. Fascinating videos 🙌
Thanks for idea, I might do something similar. Was just thinking about solutions and decided to do experiment, on one side do it in logs of chestnut that I can source in my local forest and the other method I will make raised bed like you did. Only difference I will try to make it out of logs entirely, right now got bunch of woodchips, mostly hardwood. Excited to see how it goes. Cheers and greetings from Croatia.
Awesome! It’s definitely a good idea to spread your stash as chances are at least one method will take! I have tried drilling logs with inoculated logs twice and though I got a good edible harvest - neither attempts produced the the species of mushrooms I actually ‘planted’ 😂 I have found the stem butt method most likely to work in my garden - it’s fun to experiment! Let me know how your grow goes, I’d love an update! 🫶🏾
I took a discarded mushroom block from a kit I found (next to a dumpster) and put in woodchips outside, but it hasn't grown. I also took a piece of a log that grows oyster mushrooms when the city cut it up, and that hasn't grow either. It's gotten lots of water so I'm not sure what all I'm doing wrong. Maybe I will try this garden bed approach rather than a big pot.
wow that’s really inspiring, thanks so much for sharing, I had no idea this was possible! I found some blewits on old grass cuttings or chips recently and now I see this! do you have any estimates on how much yield you would get from this set up? do you have any recommendations for books or videos for learning more about home mushroom growing?
It totally works with blewits too but blewits actually prefer compost and leaf litter! Leaf mulch mixed with woodchip and cardboard would be perfect for wood blewit beds
Hi Danni, were you're wood chippings hard wood? I've been growing pink oyster and lions mane on Aspen shavings mixed 50/50 with soya bean hulls, both very cheap to buy, I bought a 22ltr pressure canner off Ebay and mushroom grow bags, I want to grow wine cap mushrooms and was wondering if it needs to be hardwood
Hey! My chippings are almost always a mix. For mushie growing it’s recommended to have max of around 25% softwoods like conifers and I noticed a lot of cedar trimmings in this new chip so I mixed it with some older hardwood chippings too. Wine caps tend to prefer hardwood but on the softer side, I used oak and maple when I first laid them a few years ago and it took much longer to fruit than when I used softer willow chippings. If you’re growing outside, using pressure canners or sterilising the straw is a little bit like washing your spade before digging I reckon 😁
Danni, thank you for your videos. Only just found your channel. I am about to do something similar to this with a lump of P. cyanes mycelium. I don't know if it's a bad time of year to start toinoculate some chip. Is there anything important to know about the type of wood chip or any processing of it?
Love mushrooms, Looking forward to the follow up video👌👌
So glad i found your video 🤩🥰
The size of those clumps! Amazing 🎉

This girl is amazing ❤

Can't wait to see how this turns out!
Hopefully not long! 🤞🫶🏾🍄
I'm excited to watch this! And I think I'm going to try it too!
Amazing! Let me know if you do
You are so rocking this ❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just luv Danni❤

@@danniinthewild most certainly! I might even do video on it just to document failure or sucess.
That’s fantastic Danni I’d love to try that
A very factual video
I can’t wait to see the results
Superb thank you
👍🏼 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄
Cheers Matt! Love growing mushrooms 🍄
I love this idea and think I need to put 1 in!
I’d love to see how it goes if you do!

How long ago did you leave it there? Do you know which chip it was and how old?
@@danniinthewild it's been since last may. I'm not sure what kind of woodchips, they were leftover from a neighbor
Great video - I’m going to have a go at this 🙌
Ooh look who it is 😍 how are you mate?
Very goooooood! You ok? I’m RUclips’in again 🙌

@@danniinthewild Oh you're so welcome! I just saw this 😂

What kind of wood is your box made out of?
look on the bright side everytime you cut a worm in half you made two worms rather than killing one, thats double the worms for the garden
do you think this would work with psilocybe mushrooms?
My understanding is that they do a lot better in Tupperware as opposed to outside :) Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong lol
This absolutely works with cyanescens though I haven’t tried with other strains 💙🩵
Some varieties grow at plain sunlight. Ex amanita muscaria.@@withusnotforus
what type of wood chips? how old? size?
These are a mix approximately 75% hardwood 25% softwood 🌳🌲 In the video I explain how old they should be and you can see the size too 🥰🫶🏾
👍❣️🤞
