I am looking for information on HOW to grow the mushroom; this video just shows you maitake that is growing and talks about how yummy it is, but no help to someone who is wanting to grow them herself. Maybe change the video name?
This is probably the best way to grow Maitake commercially, but this is not an informative or instructional video. I'm just speculating that Bob is probably more on the selling and marketing side of the operation. Nobody but chefs call the caps "Fronds" (although the Latin name is Grifola Frondosa) and they don't grow naturally in leaf litter, hard-woods only, most often on oaks. He also seemed unsure of the fruiting requirements and specific health benefits. This company is legit just be aware this is not a beginners mushroom, they take a long time to grow. If you live in the eastern US try foraging first, it's an easy one to spot. Easier to just let nature do it for you.
These mushrooms are my absolute favourite up there with chicken mushrooms. I'd love to see more people growing them locally because they are just so fantastic.
This is all fine and dandy, but there is nothing like going out into the woods here in Pennsylvania like I used to do with my dad and my dad did with his dad for close to 100 years here... Everything this gentleman said about this mushroom is true. I love making a stir fry with strips of ribeye steak hot cherry and jalapeno peppers onions Worcestershire sauce salt pepper a little chicken stock maybe a little red wine over top of rice. Our other favorite way to make this mushroom is in a pickled jardinera salad
OK I am pretty sure I bought my maitaki mushroom base from you guys. It did start to develop the bumps I put it outside at the base of a oak tree stump. It did nothing more after that. I brought it in and washed it off. I heard you can try again indoors so I am looking for advice.
Thanks for your video! If you don't mind me asking I've been trying to raise maitake and wanted to clarify something : does the mycelium go dormant after you inoculate your sawdust for 30 days? I read that in stamets book and wanted to verify that
I also wonder what you grow the in. I think I found a early stage mitake in the forest and I would like to coultivate it, but I have no idea of how I will do it. since we don´t have alot of them here I dont want to not succeed. also is it possible to plant it back outside after cultivating it? thank you!
probably some sort of wood chip or sawdust base, these mushroom are found growing on trees. Some outdoor methods use chopped wood or stumps and innnoculate directly inside them
honestly the thing about wild mushrooms is that their nutritional qualities may be higher in the wild, yes, but theres just as much of a chance that they'll be lower based on their environment. by cultivating them yourself you can control the conditions of their life and fruiting process and guarantee, for example, a fantastic source of vitamin D by exposing them to as much sunlight as possible without ruining their culinary applications. like all food agriculture, wild doesn't immediately mean better, and cultivation means we can enhance positive qualities of things that are ultimately out of our control if we stumble across them: Social Ecologist Murray Bookchin talks about this way of analysing our relationship with the so-called natural world in his writing if you're interested.
That’s correct that there are variables in the Wild. Lol and lots in cultivation. Simple truth is nature is the master and the teacher. Nature is derived from the Greek word for everything that is. Nature means everything that is. We are part of that. Nature is complete. Everything is there.

I just received a kit. I can't wait. Yum.

Does the incubation phase require higher temperatures than the fruiting phase?
excellent video, great information!
you are a jerk-just go purchase their products & then SAY you grew them "on your own" SERIOUSLY~
Hi, how much do you sell them for?
Grows out of the root of dead trees. That's why we grow them on hardwood saw dust.
What kind of substrate are you growing them on?
probably some sort of wood chip or sawdust base, these mushroom are found growing on trees. Some outdoor methods use chopped wood or stumps and innnoculate directly inside them
Do cultivated mushrooms have the same health benefits as wild mushrooms?

Well, laadie freakin dah! Matt Foley does Maitake
😂😂😂
A new world record saying and and and
It's a lie. Maitake is a parasite to mainly oak trees
Didn't take your troll medication?
Do more reading about maitake
Symbiotic, not parasitic. Huge difference
