      I have the original RR mushroom growing videos (they are fairly dated and used to be on VHS if I am not mistaken.) Id be happy to send a link, message me.
      There is a section on agar prep and use, which is not vital to the hobby but gives you basically what amounts to God Mode levels of control. If you are trying to scale your production or you just want full control over what you are doing, then agar is important. You can mate individual spores or select for genetics by dropping a mushroom biopsy on to an agar plate. The benefits include being able to view your grows on a 2D surface where contamination cannot hide and you can also see multispore inoculation sectoring out, which you can then select the piece that is most vigorous. So when you took your syringe and nocced up your jar, thats just tons of spores mating and then all colonize around each other forming many networks of individual colonies all working together. That's a bad thing though because it's a genetic tossup. You could get a huge flush of mushrooms that taste great, or you could also get awful results, it's just not predictable. With agar you eliminate all of the guesswork. You can select single strains and select for genetics you desire. It's similar to the difference between throwing seeds in to the ground and hoping for best, and grafting a scion on to rootstock for the best possible fruit.
      Contamination is no joke btw. Once it's a problem, it can be difficult to fix. God forbid you accidentally open a contaminated jar which is essentially like a biological grenade to the air/surrounding areas. Trichoderma et al is the gift that keeps on giving. The spores are sticky and difficult to remove.
      Also yeah, mushrooms are great at bioremediation and are able to uptake heavy metals. Fungus would be a fantastic addition to landfills.
      A great free source of substrate is spent coffee grounds. You can get buckets of the stuff free from a diner or somewhere like Waffle House. It's already pasteurized.

    I didn't realize how much I needed to grow my own mushrooms until I watched this video... I have had some interest in edible mycology for a while but hadn't pulled the trigger on starting it yet.
    I have a perpetual case of analysis paralysis in about everything I decide to try lol. I researched 3D printing/printers for about a year before I purchased one. Researched R/C planes for about the same. I've been on a scuba research binge for about 3 months now lol.

    • @ElementalMaker

      I catch myself falling victim to analysis paralysis all the time too. Just gotta say F*** IT and jump right in. I'm a certified NAUI diver and it's well worth it. See the reefs while they are still here. They are dying fast.

    I grew up in Utah in the 1970s, when nearly all the Mormon families canned fruit and vegetables every fall, so I've seen numerous variations on pressure vessels like this one as a kid. I never personally knew of one to violently disconnect, but that was because everyone who got near one had already heard the dire warnings and cautionary tales of kitchens decimated, lids blown into the bedrooms above, etc., so nobody EVER left one unattended.
    And yes, I watch Cody's Lab, since well before he left Utah & started impersonating Jeremiah Johnson, desert edition.

    I recently got a smaller, but just as old, near identical pressure cooker made by kook kwick. Gotta pressure test it and replace the dial and then I’m off.
    More mush videos would be awesome 🍄

    Would love to see you do Chanterelles as I think they have the best flavor of all the mushrooms I personally have tried. Aldi's had portabellas on sale for 99 cents a package last week so I bought 8 packages. I made scalloped potatoes with mushrooms in my pressure cooker last night. Lots of majoram. Some cream. A can of cream of mushroom soup. A splash of Madeira wine. Came out delicious!

    @Saltysteele 3 года назад

    sooo, i've never grown 'gourmet" mushrooms before, but I *have* grown the fun ones!
    I ground up brown rice in a coffee grinder, mixed in vermiculite to hold moisture. Sealed the jars up, sterilized in a pressure coker, poked 4 holes in the mason jar lids, injected my spores, set it in the closet to colonize.
    Pretty easy, actually. hardest part was building my fruiting chamber- just a large styrofoam cooler, expanded metal grate on the bottom to keep them from sitting in water, ultrasonic humidifier hooked to a large bore plastic hose ran to the chamber, then a piece of plexi at a 45 above so the condensation would run down to one side, instead of dripping on my cakes.
    back then, mail ordered my liquid spore syringe. was much easier than a spore print.
    However, I used wide-mouth jars. the cakes slid out without getting bottle necked at the jar neck.
