Forest Farming Stropharia Mushrooms
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2015
- Stropharia, also known as garden giant or red wine cap mushroom, tastes similar to portobello mushrooms. They grow well in a mixture of hardwood chips and saw dust, and they prefer shady conditions. Stropharia are much more tolerant than some other mushroom varieties, and so wood chips do not need to be fresh when mixed with the substrate. This mushroom variety can fruit in as little as two months after innoculation if conditions are right. They often flush after rain events or when weather fluctuates between warm and cool conditions but their variability requires that an eye be kept on them so you don't miss an opportunity to harvest. It's recommended to keep the stropharia bed in close proximity to your house or garden for easy monitoring.
Excellent! Thank you for thoroughly detailing the Garden Giants seasonal behaviors, in demonstration.
Excellent info! In our garden the stropharia appeared spontaneusly after we applied a thick layer of woodchips (after watching your video I presume they were from hardwood). I hope they come back next year, too!
I made a 2' X 2' Gorilla Stropharia bed in my garden is only producing mycelium & nothing else :)
both beds are made the exact same way. nature is strange.
since the forest has given me so much I have also inoculated the local forested areas with many different mushrooms (Lion's Mane, Pearl Oyster, Pink Oyster, King Stropharia
Will hardwood mulch work?
Why is this age restricted?
Cause of the “wine” in the name? I don’t know
Which hardwood(s) work best; oak, cottonwood, elm, basswood, etc.?
Can I use 100% sawdust as the substrate? And should I pack it down?
Is it sensitive to city water with fluoride and chloramines?
sorry so were you saying that they will fruit in winter? I'm in Tasmania. Gets a little below zero (centigrade) here, looking for a cold weather mushroom that I can grow outside.
Over winter dude not fruit
Flammulina velutipes... or velvets foot is a great edible winter mushroom.
thanks, probably a different way us aussies interpret "over winter", means during winter for us.
yeh enoki was the other one I was thinking of, local supplier here for the spawn at good prices. Having trouble finding good growing information on them for outdoors which I really want to do. Lots of information for growing in bottles etc. but would be great to see them fruit naturally.
I think if I just find a damp low sun spot and grow them in some sawdust
@@natejansen892 do you have any advice for growing Flammulina?

Hi Zac, I'm in Tasmania too. Did you get your King Stropharia mushrooms? I have been looking into them for a while and just received my order of grain spawn. I watch One Yard Revolutiopn a lot as Patrick is in Chicago, the same Latitude north as we are south, but he has feet of snow for months in winter. He started King Stropharia in his garden years ago, piles woodchips on his paths every year, and thtese mushrooms have totally colonised his garden. I'm sure they will love it here in Tasmania.
Why hardwood chips? I hear this a lot but I don't know why.
Austin Soft wood chips wood refer to coniferous wood chips, like pine, cedar etc, which have a lot more volatile resins and oils in them, and far fewer fungi are evolved to grow on them. Hardwood chips are the food of many more deciduous woodland fungi
And you can growing inside too in box
Yes, most of us do grow in mono tubs, and dub tubs... but growing outside in the back yard/bush will give you A LOT more. I have an acre property, my own house, fenced in back yard, there’s a giant bush that has 30+ kinds of mushrooms already 🤣😅 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
why not pine chips i am experimenting at the moment with pine i first dug a trench filled it with sugarcane mulch then grain spawn the more mulch then covered with existing pine chips do you think i stuffed up
Hi Benjamin, I'd like to direct you to our website where you can ask a qualified extension expert about pine chips: ask.extension.org/groups/1727/ask Thank you for stopping by our channel!
Id be careful using conifer chips. I believe chantarells are the only mushroom that can grow near living conifer species. Conifers have a toxin that hinders fungal production

Softwood chips will likely work, but may need fresh chips every 6 months, rather than every 12+ months with hardwood.
elm is a soft hardwood, does it matter?
Fungus love elm
"Hardwood" meaning deciduous.
Beware the forest's Mushrooms......
beware of the dangle berry's
@@CC-jy4gr I think its the dingle berries that are really dangerous.
