How to Grow Portobello Mushrooms | Agaricus Bisporus Cultivation Step by Step

[@michellevandeventer3126]

In South Africa Kwa-Zulu Natal where I grew up my Dad would pick us Makowe a Mushroom the size of a plate, it sprung up in the fields after a fresh rainfall, my Dad would pick the ones with Pinkish brown colour at the bottom this was important according to him. He then would fry it for us, it is better than Steak and something free, tasty and lovely from Mother Nature.

Thank you for this video. For some reason its been so hard for a year to find a solid video on growing specifically button/portobello, this is exactly what ive been looking for.

[@SporenSprout]

I know exactly what you mean, that’s why I made this video! Good luck! 🍄

[@revolioclockbergjr8482]

Thank you for simplifying. Economically and work load wise it will still be the last mushroom I grow.

Neighbor gotta be laughing his ass off at the snow shove 🤣🤣

[@charleneshambare9771]

Thank you so much .Love the simplicity of your method❤.

[@SporenSprout]

Thanks for watching!

[@gnomecarver8849]

Ahh, the ever elusive button mushroom video. After much foraging and patients looking through youtube videos, we have found it. Thank you for making this! Also thank you for your excellence in products and delivery. Top quality, best price and fastest shipping. Always buying LC from you from now on. Mahalo from Hawaii!

[@SporenSprout]

Thanks for the kind words! 🙏 I know there was no tutorials for this mushroom anywhere so I was happy to provide it. Good luck my friend! 🍄‍🟫

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

If I was going to grow these, it’s all I would grow because it’s so time-consuming and such a huge workload

[@SporenSprout]

I know what you mean but i made it easier, normally you would have to make special compost which takes months. With my method you don’t have to wait long.

[@Bradypmatt]

Great video! nice and simple, easy to follow. Thanks

[@SporenSprout]

Thanks for watching! 🍄‍🟫

[@johnbathory9559]

Thanks! Your videos one of my favorite...

[@Tethysmeer]

Just in time. I still have a spore print of the delicious agaricus campestris which I found last fall. It would be great to grow these as they are way better than the common buttons. Thx for the great video!

[@NITIN-pt2mc]

Thank you so much . I was finding a tutorial for Portobello Mushrooms for entire year . And thank u for simplicity now I can grow button mushrooms with ease .

[@flyingshards595]

Always enjoy your videos! Thanks!

[@mizan-mq3me]

Can you grow puufball for next video please

[@melhawk6284]

Oh gods... could you imagine getting reasonably predictable giant puffballs?! I will admit, I would possibly make myself sick at LEAST once with puffball parmesan sandwiches!

[@mizan-mq3me]

@@melhawk6284 yeah i could imagine ,it Will be my favorite mushroom 🤤🤤

[@michellevandeventer3126]

Ok this is to intriquite and time consuming for such a small end result harvest, so in case of an apocalypse one of you out there better be good at this so I can come and barter with you!😌 So far I have bupkiss to barter with though, will be working on it!😂

[@SporenSprout]

@@michellevandeventer3126 The mushrooms keep growing back over and over! This was only a small demonstration. The process can be tweaked in certain ways to make it more efficient. I can grow over 20 different species and some are easier than others. If there is an apocalypse hit me up!

[@michellevandeventer3126]

@SporenSprout I will have too.😊

[@mrmocha5435]

That neighbor sounds cool

[@AmericanTj-Trump-Vance-2024]

Pretty cool man, thanks for the scapel link, i kept trying to search for the right blade, thanks.

[@AmericanTj-Trump-Vance-2024]

thought paul stamets knife was too pricy lol.

[@SporenSprout]

No problem! I have used a few different blades and the one in my link is by far the best suited for cloning. It allows great accuracy.

[@AmericanTj-Trump-Vance-2024]

@@SporenSprout I am new to agar agar, but when i get me a few flat caps, in the wild i sure hope to keep its genetics.

Once again, a masterpiece!

[@zoemeow7677]

could probably use hydro nutrients instead of the organic manure

[@mmmmmray]

Thats pretty awesome. Do you think there's anyway to induce more of those mushrooms to grow at once or is that just how they grow? Thanks for sharing!

[@RebelionFiscal]

How are you gonna borrow aged horse manure? Is you gon' give it back???

[@pentackle166]

In the form of human manure

[@OhYeah-me1cg]

I learned one thing. I will still buy mine. This is way too much work for something that might fail anyway. If you want to grow mushrooms, grow Wine Caps, none of the sterilization nonsense.

[@byzantium100]

Great video!!!

[@Home-biotechnology]

Great video, I like it👍. Have a question, which agar did you use? I had problems cloning this type of mushroom, very slow growth, unlike the wood-destroying ones. Have you researched the topic of liquid culture for this mushroom species?
From experience, I tried potato broth and a little honey. Growth is slow, but present. I searched for information on this topic, which liquid culture recipe is suitable for this species, but there is very little information.
I wish you patience and inspiration, what you are doing is very useful!💪🍄

[@SporenSprout]

Here is the video for how I make my agar:

Use honey for liquid culture.

[@jimalbrecht8803]

For $3 I can buy a few dozen already to cook up. 😋👍

[@SporenSprout]

@@jimalbrecht8803 yeah then after they are gone buy another pack and another and another.

[@jimalbrecht8803]

@@SporenSprout I do grow my own vegetables, and pressure can them up, and hunt my own meat and catch my own fish and seafood. I also forage wild edible mushrooms whilst I'm out and about. But this growing your own mushrooms appears to take a lot of tedious and knowledgeable efforts to keep things sterile. But I envy your desire for being successful. That variety has a different name for each size and color. That's something most people don't know or understand. Great video! I did enjoy it. 🥰👍

[@TerpyTen]

The jiffy mix, that's the casing layer? Correct? Would it also work if I did a pseudo casing layer with Coco/vermiculite/gypsum mix?
I've experimented in the past without a casing layer and the first flush comes out looking like weird slug blobs 🤣🤣 Still delicious but not very visually appealing. Pinning is also very sporadic. This is only the second time I'm going to be messing with a casing layer for the white button mushroom. Just trying to be frugal. To get the jiffy and hydrated lime it's gonna be like $50 .... Granted it'll last for many future runs, if I can get away with doing the pseudo casing, I'll do that.

[@artanozari87]

Great

[@mikaylaguiles]

if i have a large scale pasteurizer do i need to do the long soak for the straw??

[@SporenSprout]

@@mikaylaguiles it should be fine just to hydrate the straw and then use your pasteurizer

[@henricopurba1593]

After mushroom grow at this agar plate, can we propagate the slice of agarplate in to the liquid culture?

[@SporenSprout]

Yes!

[@Mushlove1213]

Will this video process work for large portobellos as well? I have spawned my grains with portobello spawn but cannot get past this point yet.

[@SporenSprout]

@@Mushlove1213 Yes it still works as long as everything is done like in the video.

There probably isn't a mushroom that you can't grow)) 🔥🔥🔥

What if you let a few spore out in the bin?

[@SporenSprout]

It’s fine, the next flushes may not grow in those spots though.

[@0Kerrigan]

Hi! Those are some pretty mushrooms. Is the horse manure and straw really necessary? Are there any substitute for those? Thank you.

[@navinnavin2498]

Button and paddy straw mushrooms are secondary decomposer's, so basically they need to grow on broken down compost or substrate

[@Breaddd]

Yeah this is way too much effort. I'll just keep buying from the store.

Be careful boys these mushrooms actually contain hydrazine, a naturally occurring formaldehyde not good for you
