This is so fun. It's like when I was a kid playing in the woods. But now as adults were changing entire ecosystems. Also I put lions mane mushroom under my clubhouse under some wood and then later seen some lions mane in my yard.
Great video I just ordered my sawdust spawn. I have 140 logs cut (oak and hard maple). About 30 totems cut and ready also. Really excited to grow mushrooms
I love your content. I don't eat mushrooms, but I would love to grow them for others. I also appreciate what you said without saying it. I appreciate you.
Love your content. Love your message. You put the bug in my ass. I have a North sloping hill in Sherman oaks CA that's just over run with volunteer oak trees. I'm going to thin out the volunteer ash and the horrible running honeysuckle this week. In December I'm going to thin the volunteer oak trees and follow your plan. Love you and your philosophy.
Wow you have a lot of land now compared to your place in San Diego, so happy for you 😇🥰❤️😎, I’m curious to know if shiitake mushrooms would grow in tropical weather like the Philippines
I appreciate this video. So many videos about growing and inoculation but very few about best locations to set up the logs. I was wondering how you deliver water back there when it's super dry?. Good video for sure so Thankyou.
Thank you so much for your video. Just starting to inoculate shiitake in white oak logs. Excited! Just not sure how long after inoculation can I stack them like you did in this video.
It’s going to be 2 weeks this Friday when I cut my logs. Do I need to soak them in water for 24 hrs before I inaculate them, just spray water on them or I don’t need to do anything before I start?
Thanks for the information, I plan on making a mushroom garden, looking for property now! The market has been crazy but going to try again December probably!?
Absolutely. Indoors is also an option. These guys are awesome, www.fieldforest.net/category/LEARN. You can also hit them up on Instagram DM they will answer any mushroom question.
It's what they grow on in nature so in my mind they will have the best nutrition this way. Also way less effort, 0 plastic involved. Wood chips are best for mushrooms like King Stropharia and wine caps. I would like to try that next year! Commercial indoor do the sawdust/wood chips but that's a different game than I'm trying to play.
Question? Can poisonous mushrooms stumble onto the woodlogs that you have established is there any guarantee that Feral mushrooms won't grow and if so how do you determine which ones are edible and which are non-edible
Sure that is possible and actually I did have a few logs get invaded by a fungus I didn't want I forgot to show that. BUT I know what I inoculated with and what it looks like so I can still harvest from those infected logs (and I have). I'm just keeping them in my old mushroom area for now. They got invaded because I let the cut logs sit too long before I inoculated them.
Great video. Do you have any suggestions for growing mushrooms on logs where there are lots of mice? This year we have a lot of mice and all the logs that I inoculated with grain in spring and capped with beeswax, got that grain eaten out completely. Maybe I just have to try another year, as mice are present in such numbers only in recent two years, but I was just wondering if you could suggest something mice-proof :)
Hmm just guessing but maybe inoculate with sawdust spawn since they won't want to eat. Also get an outdoor cat :) Message field and forest on instagram and I bet they'll have a good suggestion for you.
How long should one wait after inoculating logs for doing this A frame with setting logs in direct contact with the ground? or were these on pallets? - wondering about concerns with competing mycelium strains . Missed it if it was already addressed. Thanks!!
Depends on your climate. Mine it took 8 months when we had a good rain year. I haven't gone through enough seasons to truly know. This year was a bad rain year so we'll see if they fruit around the same time.
this video is excellent. thank you so much. do you water the logs in the a frame configuration? and if so, how and at what frequency? or is it so humid where you are that you don’t have to?
In my climate we get so much rain I don't have to do that. If I want to force fruit I'd soak in that tub I pointed to in the video for 24 hours, if I lived in a dryer climate or didn't get rain for a couple months, this is what I'd do.
Thanks for your advice and I will consider this as I'm looking into starting a mushroom farm and business! I'm in the South Bend Indiana area and I used to market morel mushrooms and still have the customers who I've developed a good relationship with and see many ways to make money from raising mushrooms and to continue buying and marketing morels too ! I will look for your email address and follow your advice

Cool. Didn't know how to grow mushrooms, now I know how to start
It's well worth the effort! I'm growing to like eating them more and more too.
Love your videos! Love your love for Freedom! Keep rocking! And blooming you and your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Steven! Always appreciate the notes about freedom too - very encouraging.
Great video I just ordered my sawdust spawn. I have 140 logs cut (oak and hard maple). About 30 totems cut and ready also. Really excited to grow mushrooms
Great timing, been thinking about setting up some mushrooms in the backyard.
Bravo! Power to the people!
I love your content.
I don't eat mushrooms, but I would love to grow them for others.
I also appreciate what you said without saying it.
I appreciate you.
I appreciate that!
I love it! We just inocculated about 3 months ago! I hope to see some fruiting next year! I'll have to try out your A frame design! I love it!
Nice! Get ready for fun come spring. I just copied how I saw mushroom farmers do it ;)
I’ve been waiting for this video. Awesome video.
Hope it was worth the wait!
Thank you soo much. From NSW, Australia
This is awesome to try next year.
Been following since the cover crop in SD, been waiting for the mushroom content. Also, get a post driver!
Whoa that's a long time thank you! Haha yes I do need one.
Love to see freedom loving people teaching freedom living

I hate mushrooms, but love your content. Great video as always.
Haha maybe you just haven't tried the right one ;) I hated them forever too, they grew on me.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight grew on you? I see what you did there lol
Wow you have a lot of land now compared to your place in San Diego, so happy for you 😇🥰❤️😎, I’m curious to know if shiitake mushrooms would grow in tropical weather like the Philippines
Yes you can definitely grow them there!

Badass video keep them coming!
Great content once again! Thank you! Keep on keepin' on.
Thanks Brian!
great video thanks for sharing! Im going to try to grow mushrooms this winter.
Wonderful Cheryl!

Awesome information 👍👍👍

have you checked how much shade this spot gets during winter/when the leaves have fallen?
Thanks for the information, I plan on making a mushroom garden, looking for property now! The market has been crazy but going to try again December probably!?
The market is insane all the best finding your spot!
What do you call winter ? I'm in Canada. Some viewers may be in the tropics. Can I inoculate at minus 20 Celsius ?
Do you know if I can grow edible mushrooms in Minnesota?
Absolutely. Indoors is also an option. These guys are awesome, www.fieldforest.net/category/LEARN. You can also hit them up on Instagram DM they will answer any mushroom question.
why logs and not sawdust/wood chips? are there advantages to this medium?
It's what they grow on in nature so in my mind they will have the best nutrition this way. Also way less effort, 0 plastic involved. Wood chips are best for mushrooms like King Stropharia and wine caps. I would like to try that next year!

@@NaturesAlwaysRight Ok awesome thanks
Is it too late to harvest logs and inoculate?
this video is excellent. thank you so much.

Do you ever have issues with termites on the logs?
I haven't seen any yet, but I'll never inoculate tulip poplar again the bark strips off after 1 year.
May yahusha bless you thanks
