I am learning slowly the whole process of shroom growing through RUclips videos and Google. No matter what others say about the tube and google they are the best teachers I ever had
Literally just binged all the videos on your channel. I never realised how little it takes to actually start growing before all this. I thought the process was a lot more convoluted. I'm for sure going to try my first ever grow as soon as I can afford to buy some of the stuff I need to get going. Just recently lost my job, so as soon as I found a new job I know what my first paycheck is going on :D
it doesnt cost that much, if you know exactly what you are doing. these videos are simple, and show everything going right, but microbiology is extremely hard to do well. just like baking. baking a basic, low grade cake is not hard, you might get a solid cake, might burn it, chances are it will be edible or hard. making a good cake is very hard. same w this. most new growers get contamination over and over and quit. the learning curve in this is extremely steep do a LOT of research.
Another great instructional video. I loved the bedtime story. 😂 I just started working with agar this week, using your videos as my main instruction. I made my first batch of agar and was setting up six jelly jars to inoculate with a spore syringe. Then I remembered that I had taken a spore print from my first flush, so I added a seventh. I took a look at the jars yesterday. Nothing yet in the syringe jars, but the spore print jar had some pretty white mycelium starting! Took another look this morning and, Oh No! There is a brown spot in the spore print jar. But wait. PGT also taught me how to clean up a culture with transfers. I’ll be starting another batch of agar shortly. 😊 Thanks, Sensei! 👍
@mmpatriot2170 - Which kind of agar did you use? Is it called nutrient agar or something else? I have some agar powder but I'm not sure it's the correct type of agar. Cheers 👍
I'm so happy to find this channel! Clear, simple, nothing overly fancy, just what works well and gives the results we want. I would so love to see your take on how to approach growing wood lovers such as Azies. I haven't seen anyone on YT do that in a clear way and with your style of presentation, experience and way of thinking it would such a dream.
Brother you have the most iconic voice for video lectures,, keep it simple brother, thats the key to life , you know I have tried several several different Agar techs, no God damn success , until I used your recipe, now was it luck on my part did I do something wrong the other times, who knows all I know is thank you thank you for the videos , Agar has been my nemesis.. but not now, I got that Girl in the palm.of my hand
Dear PGT, I love your content. Your calmness makes it easy to listen to you and we can tell you’re excited to explain! I was hoping you could make a video about the different substrates and what the pros and cons are.. I heard you can use the following: Whole Brown Rice, Coco coir Vermiculite. Wood I heard every kind of substrate has different properties like longer flushes etc, maybe you can enlighten us about the details? I really hope you’re excited about this idea!!
Just recently decided to learn more about this stage of mushrooms. I am doing an experiment to see how many different types of mycelium I can get to grow. Thanks for the info friend.
Of all the mycology content on youtube, yours is the best. This video answered several of my questions, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much
Willy Myco's content is technically better and so is Let's Grow Mushrooms (aka Roger Rabbit he is who these guys learned from the real OG). that said, go on the shroomery and learn from "Trusted Cultivators" there are a LOT of very very good growers internationally
so amazing, great video! great calm presentation methods, great clear explanation! THANK YOU lets pray you stay on youtube, just dont mention the key words youtube hates. in the next video would love to hear what you consider good myolisal growth worth transferring :)
Dude Philly I need advice. I followed your videos on the broke tek. Brown rice in a still air box cultivated as showed in your video. Put 3 quarts fully cultivated in a 28 quart sterilite tub. Let it do more growing for 12 days before flipping the lid. I have mushrooms 😀, but all growing around the edge not on top of the grow medium. I did do the trash bag lining you recommended also. I'm guessing that I flipped the lid to soon and didn't give enough time to fully fill out the larger 28 quart tub. I wish I could send pics on here. I also live in the mountains of AZ. very dry climate i had to spray daily to keep medium not bone dry. Thanks for any advice.
I really cant wait for the next part of this. I put some spring agrocybe spores on some agar just this past sunday. Im hoping they will be ready for a transfer by this weekend
Thank you Philly, you've gotten me to jump into this. I've watched each video several times now and can't wait for future videos! You are by far the easiest to follow for us who don't have all the fancy equipment. I have a question.. I got a really old school Revere pressure cooker, seems to work great as one too. However it won't fit my jars standing up. I plan to invest in a bigger one later, but is it okay to lay my jars sideways to sterilize?
I’ve heard of people stacking their jars on top of other jars sideways. If you can rubber band aluminum foil over the lid to keep the moisture from getting back in the jars it should be fine
Man, thank you so much for making these videos! Super helpful and enjoyable to watch. I've learned a lot already and excited to try your CVG recipe too!
This might be the solution to my syringe issue. I constantly get a wet almost jelly like substance when using syringes on agar, hasn’t always been that way but this looks promising 👌🏻
This was great man. I just ordered some pre made agar plates. I have a ton of GT prints myself. I like how you use what looks like a condiment cup for your agar.
Love the videos mans, keep up the videos. I was wondering if you could make a video or make tips on how to deal with different types of mold growing in the fruiting stage and how to deal with it so I don't have to be throwing out the whole thing every time. Thank you
Hi Philly, enjoyed the vid, i put some spores in agar like a week ago and i keep it at 28-30 degrees C, but still no growth, nothing, i did soke the petri dishes in isopropyl beforehand, and had to wipe to condensation away from the lid a few times, but it seems tp have evaporated, do you think i blewit with that?
Great video, Mushroom Master - thanks! If you compare the spore syringe method with the agar method, which one do you think is most secure or easiest to work with? Is it about different situations? Do you think the spore prints could be stored in the freezer and yet be able to use?
Fanfreakintastic!!! Your cups are genius! I can only read so many AWESOME reviews so Im just gonna ask: Can one start a viable, healthy agar sample with a spot/scratch/scrape from a colonized grain jar instead of a print? Oh, and is it pronounced "Agar" or "Aga... Wait, this doesn't work. I'm just going to go with "Agar".
I'm no expert, I'm new to this, but wouldn't it be better to streak the plate with a sterilised swab or an inoculation loop? Wouldn't that speed up plate colonisation because the spores are spread out on the surface of the agar. Also, if you scrap the spores of the print like you have done and they land in the one spot and start growing, won't it be harder to isolated the healthy mycelium away from contamination if contamination happens to grow in close proximity to your mycelium? What do you think Philly?
I appreciate that your videos get straight to the point. I find it difficult to listen to people that bullshit and talk too much.
Thankyou.
Oh well Willy is your guy for straight to the point...
@@thecommonsenseconservative5576 hahaha😅
@@thecommonsenseconservative5576 15 minutes into one of Willy's videos, I was like "Just tell me the goddam recipe for activated carbon agar already"!
I totally agree with you. His videos are wicked good to learn from.
SAME!
Instead of listening to music while I drive I listen to you. You got that “and now for your favorite jazzzzzz” vibes
Glad it’s not just me, I like to re-listen to videos while going to bed!
PGT could easily be a hypnotherapist doing mushroom therapy.
Losers
Honestly.Very oddly soothing hearing him explain stuff?lol
His memes are on point too. Pretty rare something educational legitimately makes me laugh.
"...that jawn will start colonizing pretty quickly."
Certified Philly right there!
I am learning slowly the whole process of shroom growing through RUclips videos and Google. No matter what others say about the tube and google they are the best teachers I ever had
Aww the baby mushroom in the petri dish on the thumbnail--I can't. It's too cute.
🥰
Omg yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this!!! Thank you!!
Me too! So damn excited!

These videos are getting better and better

Fruiting my second round of 3 tubs Today.Now I need to learn AGAR.Thanks Dude, Your the best
wow... only 1 downvote out of 1K views is nice. The 1 downvote is from a mushroom that doesn't want to be pimped.. lol
Dear PGT,
I love your content. Your calmness makes it easy to listen to you and we can tell you’re excited to explain!
I was hoping you could make a video about the different substrates and what the pros and cons are..
I heard you can use the following:
Whole Brown Rice,
Coco coir
Vermiculite.
Wood
I heard every kind of substrate has different properties like longer flushes etc, maybe you can enlighten us about the details? I really hope you’re excited about this idea!!
Just recently decided to learn more about this stage of mushrooms. I am doing an experiment to see how many different types of mycelium I can get to grow. Thanks for the info friend.
the bedtime story was priceless, the drawings, the soothing music, and the low-pitched voice were a perfect combination
I love this guy! Super humble, super knowledgable and a GREAT teacher!!
WORLDS BEST MUSHROOM CHANNEL! PERIOD. MAN YOU ARE DESERVE ALL GOOD IN LIFE
Dayum Philly!... back at it again with another helpful and easy to follow guide!
Congrats on the 30k milestone! Well deserved subs!
This is a godamn perfect RUclips video
Grew an amazing flush a couple years ago with help from here. Just inoculated some new agar dishes. Can’t wait for 7-10 days ;) thanks 🙏
🙏🍄
i’m from the philly burbs and moved down south and i miss jawn. thank you 🙏🏿
Happy new year to the Barry White of mycology!
beautiful results! Im very glad results were added as well! Looks like agar is really the only way to deal with spores.
This is BY FAR the BEST GROWING CHANNEL EVER. I LOVE YOU PA GOLDEN TEACHER
willy is the original, Roger Rabbit orgininal original dont get it twisted....
I was literally about to reach out to u this week about this exact subject . And u go and make a video , u sneaky bastard . Thank u

YYYYYAAAAAS LET THE GROWING CONTINUE
so amazing, great video! great calm presentation methods, great clear explanation! THANK YOU lets pray you stay on youtube, just dont mention the key words youtube hates.
in the next video would love to hear what you consider good myolisal growth worth transferring :)
Great instructions, thanks. I love the baby pics! 🤣
Man I can't thank you enough for your tutorials. They're neat and go to the point. Your voice is also calming. Namaste

Your channel grows so fast, congrats!!! You are the best
loved the bedtime story:))
Appreciate all of your videos. Learning a lot. You are a good teacher. Yes, clear, concise, easy to follow.
Really enjoy watching your vids man, very clean editing and crystal clear info. If you’re ever interested in doing a collab I’m all for it!
I love the mushroom teacher picture in your intro . you could make them into stickers.
Yeah he could put them on Petri dishes, T shirts, grow bags and mugs as well I'd buy some of that
i just woke up 3 hrs later from that beautiful bedtime story
I love your videos PGT, I really appreciate the effort you put into it. You can really tell you care dude:)
I really cant wait for the next part of this. I put some spring agrocybe spores on some agar just this past sunday. Im hoping they will be ready for a transfer by this weekend
Great Video Philly! I think would be great before start the next video show us how do you set up your SAB. Cya!
Just wanna say I mess with your channel heavy bro 💯💯💯
Letsgooooo broooo.
Much love.
thank you so mutch. can´t wait to get my spores!
Your explanation was great. Thanks for the tutorial!
Always awesome too see your notification! Great vid.
Lol ur the only account I'm going to have post notifs for :)
You’re making really good videos I just love it !!!!
You are very informative about everything. Thank you been watching mass amounts of videos and your are truly the best
your videos soothe my soul
Haha this is one of the best mycology videos I've seen. Funny and straight to the point, thank you very much.
best channel yet!!! qwik and to the point.
Thank you Philly, you've gotten me to jump into this. I've watched each video several times now and can't wait for future videos! You are by far the easiest to follow for us who don't have all the fancy equipment.

First time viewer, great video! Subscribed 👍
Man, thank you so much for making these videos! Super helpful and enjoyable to watch. I've learned a lot already and excited to try your CVG recipe too!
And for my next trick - damn, steady hands are required lol. Ive learned so much these last few months, Thank you!!
That still of Crazy Russian Hacker had me fuckin dyin😂😂
Only 30k subs? You deserve Way more!
I use a bent paper clip to take some spores from the print and put it on agar. A bit of dust on the agar is plenty
Good stuff My Man!!!
Great easy to understand video. Great work sharing your skills.
At what temperature I have to store the agar after spored them? And also thx to Philly to make this very easy to understand vids.
Thanks for this. Best agar video I've found
Glad it helps! 🙏🍄
thumbs up for the safety is our number one priority, I miss watching your awesome videos. back after a year, rejoined discord too :D
looking forward to your next vid!!
This might be the solution to my syringe issue. I constantly get a wet almost jelly like substance when using syringes on agar, hasn’t always been that way but this looks promising 👌🏻
Thanks, this helps me gain some understanding for the future.
The air box and flame thing is so true
I really need these agar videos.
This was great man. I just ordered some pre made agar plates. I have a ton of GT prints myself. I like how you use what looks like a condiment cup for your agar.
Nice! Yeah the condiment cups work well, cost-effective 🙏🍄
Im learning so so much from you! Thank you
Love the videos mans, keep up the videos. I was wondering if you could make a video or make tips on how to deal with different types of mold growing in the fruiting stage and how to deal with it so I don't have to be throwing out the whole thing every time. Thank you
I subscribed after that bed time story...lmfao
Bro you are dope.
Great video! When are you uploading the second part from agar?
Was waiting for it 🤗🤗
"that Jawn has picked up some momentum" lol!!!
Thank you teacher 🙏
Thanks for the great videos
Thank you for the great videos sensei
Mint video dude
Cheers from Australia
Think you could ever explain how to get a monoculture? Love your videos brother
Woo story time was great
These videos are a work of art. Also, more pokemon genetics analogies pls.
Man I'd love a syringe to agar video although I'm pretty sure it would be 99% the same
Thank you so much for the content, you have helped me so much! Love your videos
Hi Philly, enjoyed the vid, i put some spores in agar like a week ago and i keep it at 28-30 degrees C, but still no growth, nothing, i did soke the petri dishes in isopropyl beforehand, and had to wipe to condensation away from the lid a few times, but it seems tp have evaporated, do you think i blewit with that?
I know this is old but did you wait for the iso to evaporate? Isopropyl alcohol can kill spores if it was still unevaporated.
Do an experiment with the difference between having air exchange and not having/limited air exchange.
You just say Pimping spores? 🤣☠❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣 loved your extra credit bed time story!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄
I’m so high right now, I was wondering why I needed SIX flame sources!
Great video, Mushroom Master - thanks! If you compare the spore syringe method with the agar method, which one do you think is most secure or easiest to work with? Is it about different situations? Do you think the spore prints could be stored in the freezer and yet be able to use?
I heard you can store the prints in zip-lock bags for up to 5 year
Fanfreakintastic!!! Your cups are genius!
I can only read so many AWESOME reviews so Im just gonna ask:
Can one start a viable, healthy agar sample with a spot/scratch/scrape from a colonized grain jar instead of a print?
Oh, and is it pronounced "Agar" or "Aga... Wait, this doesn't work. I'm just going to go with "Agar".
Love you bro!!
Excellent!!
