@@chasefreeman2188 Oxo-biodegradable just break down into Microplastics, Unicorn Bags openly lie about it turning in fertiliser etc. We still have a way to go
You absolutely can depending on the species. Shiitake for example really tends to like a more dense substrate so doesn’t take all too well to chips (it still may work though with sterile chips.) Oysters and wine caps work well on loosely packed wood chips. To grow most wood lovers however you would want to fill the voids in between the chips with sawdust to make it easier for the mushrooms to colonize the whole substrate
@John Parrish Yes like Rob Rod said you can definitely use hardwood chips as mushroom substrate...if they are small sized chips this would be ideal...if they are larger chip size you would want to mix with sawdust to create a better structure and provide more easily available nutrition for your mycelium to digest. Chips are also great for outdoor woodchip beds, like this: ruclips.net/video/PIYWzfVW-ws/видео.html

Chestnut work well with the bag/sterilization method. Porcini will not work with any of these methods. They are mycorrhizal (have relationships with specific tree species roots) and are currently not possible to cultivate hence the high price.
@@il3539 they can fruit 30m from where you spread the spores...... question why aren't fruit and nut orchards diversifying by spawning porcini mushrooms throughout their orchards? Even for coppice orchards like willow etc it would increase income and diversify for very little effort.
@@601salsa Honestly not sure. I know most fruit and nut orchards in the US (I’m in Gulf Coast Texas) are monoculture and rely pretty heavily on pesticides and fungicides for reliable harvest. Could be some safety concerns since mushrooms tend to accumulate heavy metals from the soil as well as pesticides. Definitely a good idea for poly culture systems not reliant upon chemical inputs for pest control. Porcini do not grow down here but we have a very good chanterelle season(May-November) so that might be an option in my area. I only find them associated with oak trees in floodplain areas so the possibilities for combining them with other food producing species of trees might be limited. I replied the way I did because all the methods described in this video are for saprophytic species which are the most reliably cultivated mushrooms at a large scale for a variety of reasons: yield, time frame from inoculation to harvest, no reliance on seasonality unless you are growing outdoors, etc. I think there are a lot of possibilities for small scale or home producers with some acreage to experiment with different species in a poly culture setting like you describe.

What brand of compostable bag did you use for the bales shown at 7:39? Being composed of 100% corn starch do they require an industrial compost service or can you do it "at home"?
Hi Ame - we've done another video about these bags: ruclips.net/video/5VDXkGGzBFg/видео.html Looked at the pinned comment - there's a link to the manufacturer! Thanks for your interest!
I’ve been following for videos for awhile so almost if not all my knowledge has become a result of the content you guys share, thanks so much for taking the time ! I have a question about the straw bail method. Before seeing this video , I pondered if I could buy a bail of cut straw and inoculate it instead of bagging substrate. I tried to pasteurize the bag inside my 50gallon drum and buy boiling it with holes punched through. I wasn’t successful.. how do you guys perform this process without the need of removing the straw from the bags and keeping everything still intact?
Hiya, might not be what you’re looking for but I read in a guide to bioremediation that you can submerge large amounts of substrate in water for a while (long enough so only anaerobic bacteria remains) and then drain the water off (exposing the anaerobic bacteria to air, killing them) to get a decently clean sub. Hope this helps :)
Could you potentially eliminate plastic waste by using the pasteurization method in sturdier plastic bins? It would be a bigger upfront investment but you could just wash them out between uses. Is there a reason people do not do this? Thanks!
I imagine the cost of time spent washing and sterilizing the bins, as well as the cost and environmental impact of so much water would be a factor. I do not know myself but am also interested.
1) there is a difference between pasteurization and sterilization. What pasteurization you were only heating the substrate to 180° over the course of 1 to 2 hours. With sterilization you are superheating the substrate to around 250° over the course of 2 to 3 hours. The former does not kill all of the bacteria in the substrate while the lighter kills everything. The purpose in this is because to grow high-yield flushes of some mushrooms you need to add nutrients. If you add nutrients to pasteurized substrate, you’re going to get contamination. This contamination will likely outgrow the mycelium. 2) in order to sterilize you’re going to need to be able to fit your substrate bags into a pressure cooker. Whatever you use to hold the substrate will have to be of a PP5 quality plastic in order to not melt or completely fall apart. The mushroom bags that people use for mushroom substrate or made of a PP5 plastic that can resist high temperatures. This allows for sterilization of the substrate, and removal from the PCU without contamination.
@@violettracey I'll be testing it myself beginning sometime over the next several months. I've sourced some 1 ft x 1 ft food-grade buckets (formerly used when the store ordered bulk peanut butter), that I'm wondering if they can be used to make "fruiting blocks" instead of using the bags, which I would then turn into the larger standard-sized buckets people seem to use. Or possibly grow directly from those small buckets, after drilling holes in them (GroCycle has a post on their website about this), which are uncovered when the bucket is fully colonized, to bring on fruiting conditions. I understand it can likely be done in larger buckets, but I want to see if it can be done in smaller, because 1) my growing space is small, so I would like a more frequent turnover as far as colonization and flushes, if you get me, and 2) The buckets would otherwise be sent to recycle or to landfill (just like the bags would), which I'm trying to eliminate, so by using "waste" buckets, there's no waste at all. :)
Hi Chris - when growing mushrooms such as Oyster and Lions Mane, as well as some of the more aggressive strains of Shiitake, pasteurising the substrate is fine - this knocks out MOST of the competing organisms. With less aggressive strains, you would need to sterilise, which is where the heat comes in. We grow the Low-Tech way and pasteurise, which is more sustainable, and much cheaper (less energy, less equipment). To find out more you should check out our free workshop: ruclips.net/video/icKeO-kyiGk/видео.html
Doesnt Sterilizable Oxo biodegradable bags (note not oxo degradable) break down in 3 years , Thats very acceptable especially considering typical plastic is hundreds of years. They do cost more though.
Unicorn's are also recyclable because it is still polypro. Even if not using oxo-biodegradable, recycling is better than letting it go to the landfill.
as I understand it, Unicorn bags are not actually "biodegradeable", they degrade into microplastics. Convenient for dumping, but not really enviro-friendly. It still takes "hundreds of years", but the microplastics will dissipate through the environment enough that you have plausible deniability. So, there's that. 😥😢
@@chasefreeman2188 only about 2% of "recyclable" plastics are actually recycled. I think Germany has the highest rate at 50%. The whole concept of "recycling plastics" is a kind of scam, mainly by people naively thinking "market forces" could be harnessed in the effort to recycle them.
@@squirlmy seriously, you need to lookup the difference between pox-biodegradable, degradable (micro plastics/EU ban), and recyclability. I fully agree with you on the harm of biodegradable plastics leading to micro plastics. But ‘Oxo’ has an additive that helps it fully break down with the help of natural organisms - it requires the sun and oxygen - still not great for waste but what you’re saying is wrong. Also, let’s all remember to “reduce and reuse” before we recycle because as you mention, individual recycling is not very useful.
Anyone use RYE Flour instead of Brown Rice Flour? (PF TEK} I heard that the Rye flour needs less water in the mix. (I bought Rye by mistake instead of BRF today) A few years ago I tied both separately to compare but I forget . At age 69 I forget short term memory anyways. Can't wait for Golden Teachers!
I just discovered this and I was wondering, what do you think about the bottle method for people looking only to provide for their own consumption? Would it make sense? Also, if you wanted to grow mushrooms like Shiitake, can't you just lay the bottle on its side?
Exactly. Also, there are decorative planters for pot plants that have openings all up the sides. The openings protrude from the sides a couple of centimetres, so I don't know why the concept can't be adapted to form the side openings for these grow bottles so they can have lids fitted for the initial inoculation period. Then there's all this stuff about how they're limited to a kilo of substrate - so make the bottles larger to take 5 kilos? Or base them on 20 litre food-quality plastic buckets. Obviously the machinery that's used commercially will need to be modified to deal with larger bottles and the side-opening lids, but I can't see how that'd be unsurmountable. Maybe the openings should have a nice flat flange around them, and automation to glue/heat-seal filters to them which can then be peeled off. That could happen immediately after the sterilisation step, with everything still hot. Also, with the complaints about inoculating substrate throughout, a multichannel pipette or similar could be plunged to the bottom and withdrawn in a spiral motion, dispensing a liquid culture. And so on and so forth.
I don’t know if it’s just me being dumb but I don’t quite understand why a small scale home-grower can’t use bottles? Like for family use would it not be possible to buy a few bottles with lids and do the steps by hand? Seems rather straightforward to me but maybe I’m missing something vital here?
You can, it just requires all the equipment on the commercial side. I've done jars at home just fine and it's not a big hassle to grow just for home use.
I'm utterly clueless about any of this, but the first thing that came to my mind was growing them in stainless steel columns with holes in the side. As I don't even see that mentioned by pros, can you share what the problems with it are?
Why would the bottle method *require* mechanization any more than any other method, simply because it's an option? And the bag manufacturer is the source for why they're a bad idea.... 🤨
*Hey I'll refer you to this specialist who guided me through my experience,he got all kinds of psychedelic stuffs and he ship discreetly to any location**
*Hey I'll refer you to this specialist who guided me through my experience,he got all kinds of psychedelic stuffs and he ship discreetly to any location**
The mechanized method with bottles has some obvious environmental effects besides plastics; how much fossil fuel is burned to produce the energy to run those 10 large industrial machines? To maintain temps and humidity in the chambers?
Using Polymere which is going to be recycelt is WAY BETTER then biodegradable Polymere because most of them are only biodegradable at industry standarts which isn't achivable for consumer and this polymere still emits the same CO2 emission as the one which gets burned
Honestly, I was able to survive depression, also my strong addiction to illicit drugs over 3 years which could have been medically dangerous to quit, all thanks to Psilocybin mushrooms.
I know this is a relatively older video and I’m sure there are tons of methods/variants that weren’t mentioned for time or relevance. But are you all aware of North Spore? They’re a mushroom producer in the northwest US and they also do RUclips videos. I imagine the “bucket method” was left out because, as ubiquitous as it is (at least in the states) it seems more like a hobbyist approach. But North Spore has a video on the bucket method and how they used it to start and upscale their production. And in general you seem like the kind of folk who would have fun collaborating/needing-out with them

Could you potentially eliminate plastic waste by using the pasteurization method in sturdier plastic bins? It would be a bigger upfront investment but you could just wash them out between uses. Is there a reason people do not do this? Thanks!
I imagine the cost of time spent washing and sterilizing the bins, as well as the cost and environmental impact of so much water would be a factor. I do not know myself but am also interested.
1) there is a difference between pasteurization and sterilization. What pasteurization you were only heating the substrate to 180° over the course of 1 to 2 hours. With sterilization you are superheating the substrate to around 250° over the course of 2 to 3 hours. The former does not kill all of the bacteria in the substrate while the lighter kills everything. The purpose in this is because to grow high-yield flushes of some mushrooms you need to add nutrients. If you add nutrients to pasteurized substrate, you’re going to get contamination. This contamination will likely outgrow the mycelium.
2) in order to sterilize you’re going to need to be able to fit your substrate bags into a pressure cooker. Whatever you use to hold the substrate will have to be of a PP5 quality plastic in order to not melt or completely fall apart. The mushroom bags that people use for mushroom substrate or made of a PP5 plastic that can resist high temperatures. This allows for sterilization of the substrate, and removal from the PCU without contamination.
GroCyle is testing this.
@@celticlass8573 Cool!
@@violettracey I'll be testing it myself beginning sometime over the next several months. I've sourced some 1 ft x 1 ft food-grade buckets (formerly used when the store ordered bulk peanut butter), that I'm wondering if they can be used to make "fruiting blocks" instead of using the bags, which I would then turn into the larger standard-sized buckets people seem to use. Or possibly grow directly from those small buckets, after drilling holes in them (GroCycle has a post on their website about this), which are uncovered when the bucket is fully colonized, to bring on fruiting conditions. I understand it can likely be done in larger buckets, but I want to see if it can be done in smaller, because 1) my growing space is small, so I would like a more frequent turnover as far as colonization and flushes, if you get me, and 2) The buckets would otherwise be sent to recycle or to landfill (just like the bags would), which I'm trying to eliminate, so by using "waste" buckets, there's no waste at all. :)
How do we water mushrooms in a bucket?
You can just use a hand spritzer, or the misting part of a garden hose pipe...! Good luck!!
What are these mushies for

Great video. Can you turn up the volume a bit, a tad light on the voice
What is the reason for no need to stabilise with heat when using bales? is it simply the type of mushroom being grown?
Hi Chris - when growing mushrooms such as Oyster and Lions Mane, as well as some of the more aggressive strains of Shiitake, pasteurising the substrate is fine - this knocks out MOST of the competing organisms. With less aggressive strains, you would need to sterilise, which is where the heat comes in. We grow the Low-Tech way and pasteurise, which is more sustainable, and much cheaper (less energy, less equipment).

Doesnt Sterilizable Oxo biodegradable bags (note not oxo degradable) break down in 3 years , Thats very acceptable especially considering typical plastic is hundreds of years. They do cost more though.
Unicorn's are also recyclable because it is still polypro. Even if not using oxo-biodegradable, recycling is better than letting it go to the landfill.
@@chasefreeman2188 Yes, but they do end up in landfill eventually, since they can only make decreasing-quality plastics with each recycle.
as I understand it, Unicorn bags are not actually "biodegradeable", they degrade into microplastics. Convenient for dumping, but not really enviro-friendly. It still takes "hundreds of years", but the microplastics will dissipate through the environment enough that you have plausible deniability. So, there's that. 😥😢
@@chasefreeman2188 only about 2% of "recyclable" plastics are actually recycled. I think Germany has the highest rate at 50%. The whole concept of "recycling plastics" is a kind of scam, mainly by people naively thinking "market forces" could be harnessed in the effort to recycle them.
@@squirlmy seriously, you need to lookup the difference between pox-biodegradable, degradable (micro plastics/EU ban), and recyclability. I fully agree with you on the harm of biodegradable plastics leading to micro plastics. But ‘Oxo’ has an additive that helps it fully break down with the help of natural organisms - it requires the sun and oxygen - still not great for waste but what you’re saying is wrong. Also, let’s all remember to “reduce and reuse” before we recycle because as you mention, individual recycling is not very useful.
Anyone use RYE Flour instead of Brown Rice Flour? (PF TEK} I heard that the Rye flour needs less water in the mix. (I bought Rye by mistake instead of BRF today) A few years ago I tied both separately to compare but I forget . At age 69 I forget short term memory anyways. Can't wait for Golden Teachers!
do you also teach in your course how to grow KUEHNEROMYCES MUTABILIS?
Hi! Currently we don't - have you grown these yourself?
@@GroCycleTV i hoped to learn that from your course :)

I just discovered this and I was wondering, what do you think about the bottle method for people looking only to provide for their own consumption? Would it make sense? Also, if you wanted to grow mushrooms like Shiitake, can't you just lay the bottle on its side?
Exactly. Also, there are decorative planters for pot plants that have openings all up the sides. The openings protrude from the sides a couple of centimetres, so I don't know why the concept can't be adapted to form the side openings for these grow bottles so they can have lids fitted for the initial inoculation period. Then there's all this stuff about how they're limited to a kilo of substrate - so make the bottles larger to take 5 kilos? Or base them on 20 litre food-quality plastic buckets.
Obviously the machinery that's used commercially will need to be modified to deal with larger bottles and the side-opening lids, but I can't see how that'd be unsurmountable. Maybe the openings should have a nice flat flange around them, and automation to glue/heat-seal filters to them which can then be peeled off. That could happen immediately after the sterilisation step, with everything still hot. Also, with the complaints about inoculating substrate throughout, a multichannel pipette or similar could be plunged to the bottom and withdrawn in a spiral motion, dispensing a liquid culture. And so on and so forth.
Great video. Very informative.
I don’t know if it’s just me being dumb but I don’t quite understand why a small scale home-grower can’t use bottles? Like for family use would it not be possible to buy a few bottles with lids and do the steps by hand? Seems rather straightforward to me but maybe I’m missing something vital here?
You can, it just requires all the equipment on the commercial side. I've done jars at home just fine and it's not a big hassle to grow just for home use.
Another great video. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Can you do morels like that
Thanks for sharing this. What baling machine did you use to make your bales?
We don't have a baling machine (yet...)

So nice
I'm utterly clueless about any of this, but the first thing that came to my mind was growing them in stainless steel columns with holes in the side. As I don't even see that mentioned by pros, can you share what the problems with it are?
Stainless is more expensive and more difficult to cut holes in than plastic bags or buckets
@@keving7805 True, but you would only have to do it once and then you can sterilize them as needed.
ruclips.net/video/zSmBIwZxcAE/видео.html
@@KeithOlson I imagine weight, equipment to move the due to size and weight, and the cost of water and space to sterilize and store for next use.
@@chasefreeman2188 Hmmm... some good points.
what about Oak wood?
Anyone know if they are working a stronger or more aggressively growing versions of these mushrooms?

Why would the bottle method *require* mechanization any more than any other method, simply because it's an option? And the bag manufacturer is the source for why they're a bad idea.... 🤨
Labour on handling, filling, inoculating smaller vessels takes proportionally more time than with larger ones
Yeah, I had this same question. What if someone is just getting started and wanted to try a single bottle? Can you not do this method manually?
@@chancegalloway1976 it’s very easy to do. Treat it like canning vegetables or what ever.
Interesting
I think i have a design, for a growing system. 😁

The mechanized method with bottles has some obvious environmental effects besides plastics; how much fossil fuel is burned to produce the energy to run those 10 large industrial machines? To maintain temps and humidity in the chambers?
very good
Bottle method is like industrial SOG 👍
Would have been better if you included plastic buckets
You should get a Mohawk. Just an idea. 😁

You have not really mentioned in numbers the yield differences.
Using Polymere which is going to be recycelt is WAY BETTER then biodegradable Polymere because most of them are only biodegradable at industry standarts which isn't achivable for consumer and this polymere still emits the same CO2 emission as the one which gets burned
Yeah but what if I just make a few bottles at home by hand?

Honestly, I was able to survive depression, also my strong addiction to illicit drugs over 3 years which could have been medically dangerous to quit, all thanks to Psilocybin mushrooms.
I know this is a relatively older video and I’m sure there are tons of methods/variants that weren’t mentioned for time or relevance.
But are you all aware of North Spore? They’re a mushroom producer in the northwest US and they also do RUclips videos. I imagine the “bucket method” was left out because, as ubiquitous as it is (at least in the states) it seems more like a hobbyist approach. But North Spore has a video on the bucket method and how they used it to start and upscale their production. And in general you seem like the kind of folk who would have fun collaborating/needing-out with them
