  • In this video, we dive deep into the organic world of outdoor mushroom cultivation. What we know about plants can help us unlock their full potential, and mushrooms are no exception! I've invited an expert to share valuable tips and tricks for creating the perfect mushroom bed in your own Permaculture inspired backyard.
    His name is Mickey, and if you pay attention, you might win some growing kits!
    If you are just starting out, you'll find plenty of insights to help your fungi flourish.
    Enjoy this one folks and thanks for watching my videos here on the Tube. You can always press the "thanks" button too if you like :-)

    I'm an avid fungi nerd in Indiana, USA growing inside and outside. I've collected and grown around 30 cultures and cloned/preserved at least 10 local wild species. Mushrooms totally changed my health and my life a few years ago. Managed to Incorporate them into most of my garden and flower beds. Nothing better than eating food that was harvested minutes before eating

    I'm not in Australia so I'm not entering, I just came to talk about MUSHROOMS!!
    I'm in Texas, where it's super hot, not in the desert, but still, it's 113°f, 45°C, in Summer.
    Probably a lot like the conditions in Australia!
    We have a lot of oak trees here to both feed the mushrooms
    & keep us in the shade!
    And that's where my mushroom growing goes on -
    but NOT in the heat of the summer.
    The other 3 seasons of the year are definitely mushroom growing seasons tho!!
    I've been growing them (outside) from mushroom blocks for 3 years now, and I absolutely LOVE gardening with mushrooms!!
    I also have Wild Lions Mane growing out of a few Oak Stumps fir the past 4 years, which is just the coolest thing!!
    That's what got me into the whole growing mushrooms at home scene!
    The blocks are just plastic bags stuffed with finely chopped wood, usually oak, then inoculated with mushroom spores.
    The places that grow them commercially do all that jazz for me!
    Then they grow their own mushrooms right from the blocks.
    After the blocks have fruited one round of very large mushrooms, the commercial companies throw the blocks away.
    They do that because the blocks will not produce as much anymore. So they don't waste their resources on them anymore.
    But the blocks DO STILL fruit!!
    (The mushroom itself is called "the fruit".)
    And this is where I come in!
    The commercial companies leave their used blocks outside their door, and people like me come by and scoop them up, as needed!
    I bring them home, place them in a nice spot in my yard that they like, I give them a little more food & water, and bingo-bango, I've soon got mushrooms of my own!!
    I also slice them up and put them out in the sun because like this video mentions, mushrooms synthesize vitamin D straight from the sun!
    Actually, mushrooms and humans are the only 2 things on this earth that are known to be able to synthesize vitamin from the sun!!
    So mine always go out for a suntan!
    Back to the blocks-
    The blocks will fruit once or twice for me, then I turn them out into my garden spaces & mix with the soil. Sometimes I leave them on top as a mulch.
    They make THE MOST fantastic mulch!
    The whole process is really great for everyone!
    The commercial companies get the biggest harvests, but us gardeners, we still get quite a bit of fruit too!
    And by taking the blocks and eventually adding them to our gardens, we keep the used blocks out of the landfill.
    It's a win-win!!
    I also like growing mushrooms bcuz I can do this straight through our mild winters!
    Mushrooms seem to like the short, overnight freezes we get too!
    Those cold events often start blocks fruiting all over again!
    It's just SO AWESOME!!
    My neighbors love it too bcuz I often share the bounty & even the little kids get interested and end up eating them for dinner!
    Which is just great!

    Great vid, learned a lot. Mushroom growing is something I’ve wanted to add to my repertoire and garden but was put off with all the sterilising that was required. This looks like a much easier method.
    If I don’t win a mushroom kit I will try the sugar cane method in a bucket, if that’s successful I’ll try and find a space in the garden.
    Question: If growing mushrooms inside how do you prevent fungus gnats?

    I figured, if I really wanted to win mushrooms, I’d better be as accurate as possible.
    Good job, Weedy. I’ve learned a lot from this episode. I thought my last little acre mushrooms were a lost cause, because I took such good care of them, and they just would not flush. I chucked the box outside to use for mushroom compost… I went out one day a few weeks ago, and it flushed with some beautiful chocolate oysters. They tasted so damn good. Nature always finds a way. ♥️

Based in Somerset UK and we are having LOTS of rain which in theory should be a benefit. I have not much success with attempts in wood chips so decided to go with bales this time.
