Fantastic!
CHIEF YOU DESERVE A++++++....VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND.....MERCI
great video, very informative and I liked the pace and the bad jokes!
Haha, thank you!
Oh God, finally I found the video or tutorial I need to grow my own mushroom in simple way!! Thank you so much for this masterclass Sir!! I absolutely enjoy and love every part of this video 😂❤️❤️❤️
We're glad you found it too! Also so happy to hear that you enjoyed it soo much :-)
Your video is the reason why I about to grow mushrooms but what if you don't his in open air

I'm in Australia In here they are pretty expensive but, your awesome, class it's enough ,,thanks a lot dear I got everything
good luck!
One of the best videos I’ve seen.Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ☺️
Glad it was helpful 😊
Very informative and helpful! It also makes it seem like such an easy thing to do!
I will definitely give it a try!
Thanks Adal
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing. I send you lots of positive energy and love n light!
Yay - you're welcome!
This is one of the best videos on the internet!
Oh wow, thank you!
Thank you we are giving the oyster a go this week. Thank you for your sharing
Excellent - good luck!
Best video I have seen for beginners
Thanks!
Fabulous, glad it was helpful :)
Fantastic - thank you!
When you said sorry about that I literally spit my coffee out lol
hope you're wearing dark pants today :)
Speaking of coffee. You can use coffee grains to grow mushrooms!
@@thefungiblemillennial-fina2207 you can... but they are more likely to grow mould than straw and sawdust. If your mycelium grows really fast it can out-compete the mould. Try pink oyster mushrooms.
Simple and to the point. I love the hat by the way !!
💛
BRAVO.....Thanks to SHARE.....MERCI
Okay, never seen medical tape used, but the idea seems great.. Great job!
update on that - we just use masking tape now, bc it's cheaper! The mycelium doesnt mind, it just punches through the take when its ready :)
very nice video
wow, your voice is amazing!
graciasss, lo haces parecer tan sencillo... que realmente quede fascinada...
De nada! :)
Really helpful. Top works guys
Thanks Oliver :)

Good
Awesome
It sure is :-)
Great info and super video👍👍👍 +1 new subscriber 😉✌️

i have been growing mushrooms for the past 2 winters now and they have been growing great but there has always been one doubt i have always had. I grow mushrooms in transparent bags and i make adequate amount of holes for the mushrooms to grow from but sometimes the pins start to come out from a place where ther is no sign of a hole and in that scenario i then have to cut a new slit beside the new growing pin. Do i need to be so cautious or should i just let them grow from where ever they like?
Thanks for the great video. When you pick the grown mushrooms do more grow out of the holes in the bucket or do you need to start over?
Hey, no worries - yep after ypou've harvested all the mushrooms, put them back in incubation mode (ie change the temp, you can re-tape the holes too, if you like) for a week, then put them back in fruiting mode, you should get another flush? Some folks empty their buckets into a pile of straw outside after the first fruiting and kind of run an 'outdoor pile' which fruits randomly - if you have the space :)
@@Milkwood Thanks for the reply, I'm going to have to give this a go 👍
Warmest Greetings Thanks for your enlightenment. After the mushroom grew out of the 8 holes, does it mean the straw etc have to be thrown away OR can be reused? Thanks. Warmest Regards
Well done. They might "flush" again out of the same holes after a week or two, but if they don't the used substrate (straw) will make great compost.
Very good video! I wonder where can find good quality mycelium to buy in Victoria?
Hi Luciana, we recommend Aussie Mushroom Supplies :)
Great video! How much spawn would you recommend for one bucket?
10%
hey was wondering if you can reuse the spent milciluim and just do this over again or must you buy grain spawn every time?
Hey Peter - it depends on the type of grow: we do reuse spent substrate in mushroom gardens for example. But, if you're growing buckets, it's not a great idea - it could introduce mould into your grow and, with a reduced nutrition level, it probably won't produce such a great harvest.
That said, people learn new things all the time by giving it a go - for example, if you're growing oysters in buckets on sawdust, you can possibly use that spent sawdust to innoculate some logs! So...
I didn't know you could use the small buckets! Most all the videos are 5 gallon buckets!
The smaller ones work great too 😊
I did not that either.
How much straw donit need?
Can I use coconut husk and/or rice hulls as substrate? And use masking tape instead of surgical tape?
Hi Marc, we recommend hardwood sawdust in our Home Mushroom Cultivation course, but you could substitute coconut husks and/or rice hulls if you don't have access to it. We recommend you follow our method as close as you can so you can learn the process and then start playing around with more experimental methods after you've mastered the basics, like cooking from a recipe for the first time.
The paper-based surgical tape contains many microscopic holes, acting as a filter that allows the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide but helping stop microscopic organisms and hence contaminants. Because of the role the micropore tape / surgical tape plays as a filter, it cannot be readily substituted. Some people recommend polyfill (pillow stuffing type fibers), but this is not recommended, as insects can still climb through the fibers.
Hope that helps.
It's pretty impossible using this method in the SW as the air is just too dry. I had success putting my bucket in larger container and putting a layer of water in the bottom for moisture.
Dry air can be a problem - mushrooms need humidity in order to be able to form and develop. Placing buckets in larger containers with a layer of water does help, and the addition of perlite will further improve humidity. You might also like to look into dedicated fruiting chambers.
If you choose this action, you will use the edge and value the margin
yes, you will! :)
I don't have any straw. I was wondering if I can use chopped up leaves from trees.
Instead of straw, you can use things like sugar cane mulch, clean bedding straw, and grasses - be sure to remove the leaves and seed heads. In a pinch leaves may work, but we'd recommend following our method closely first up, so you can learn the process before you start playing around with more experimental methods.
If you do use leaves, try use fresh dry ones, that aren't from poisonous plants or a location where they've been exposed to environmental toxins. Hope that helps!
Awesome stuff ! Does it grow back after you harvest it, or do you have to restart the process ?
Thanks
You should be able to get a couple of harvests before you have to start over.
Great Video but I would like to add just a bit of info:
one little flake of skin can destroy all of your efforts so it's best to put on nitrile type gloves during the grain spawn to straw process.
Thanks for your thoughts here and glad you liked the video. We've found that in this type of process - where we're adding oyster mushroom spawn to a pasteurised (rather than sterilised) straw substrate - it hasn't been too much of an issue.
@@Milkwood "it hasn't been too much of an issue"
1% of an issue can cause 100% of an issue, so the importance of avoiding that 1% is very important !
Awesome video! Can you keep the bucket indoors and mist it daily if you don't want it outdoors. Also if the bucket is keep in the bathroom do you still need to mist it daily?
Yes, you can keep the bucket indoors. Mushrooms need moist humid air to grow so if you keep the bucket indoors, when the developing mushrooms begin to emerge from the holes, the buckets will need to be misted at least once a day - Whether you keep the bucket in your bathroom or another part of the house.
The mist that settles on the bucket and evaporates, creating humidity around the bucket that is important for the mushroom growth. Keep in mind that if your air is dry or there is too much air movement, that moisture may evaporate quickly, so you may need to mist the bucket multiple times a day.
Every second day is ok
Do i get holy buckets from my local church? :)
Haha, maybe!
Are there any good places online to buy spawn??
If you're in Australia - we recommend www.aussimushroomsupplies.com/
Benjidelics store is where I know of also and recommend to get it
It's on Instagram
Can't you use a slurry to inoculate the straw?
I'm curious what you mean by a "slurry". Do you mean a Liquid culture, in which case I would not recommend using Liquid cultures in this situation due to the increased risk of contamination - Liquid culture is great for making spawn, but not for the final substrate. While there are a lot of interesting and novel methods, it is best to start with the most foolproof method so you can learn the process then start playing around with more experimental methods after you've mastered the basics. It is like cooking from a recipe for the first time.
@@cainebarlow216 thanks for this! John - Caine is one of the fungi experts and mentors inside our Home Mushroom Cultivation online course, so he really knows his stuff :)
Alcohol gel leaves a layer on your skin until it's washed off wth soap and water, so I wouldn't personally use or advocate using it for this process. Using it a few times in a row followed by hand washing feels disgusting and is one of my most hated parts of being a health care worker (it also causes skin breakdown/dermatitis when over used, as does over hand washing). - Corryn
Good content just please no attempts at humor or acting. It's just painful and only funny to you. Sorry but so many growers are desperate for attention and not really motivated to give information in a quick accurate way. Just share the knowledge without too much ego or story telling or it just becomes another boys club video.
wow, for just one mushroom joke? Ok....
@@Milkwood I'm a year late but please don't listen to the brain damaged commenter above lol look up Self Sufficient Me. My guy makes nonstop "corny" (because he's a garden channel.. get it?) jokes and has 2.3 mil subs right now. Really chill video. Enjoyed it! Just packed my first 4 buckets of oysters and lion's mane today!
