Oyster mushrooms are especially easy to grow. With a "ready to fruit" kit, it can be grown on your kitchen counter. All you have to do is cut open, and mist is a few times daily. Or check out a local farmer's market to support others to grow some gourmet edibles for you to enjoy. Jessica
I keep my lions mane kit on top of the fridgerator on a plate with a bag over top of it to keep the humidity in. The heat from the fridge supplies the heat the mushrooms need to grow. The plate holds the water in to keep it moist.
@@GrowMushroomsCanada I'm still learning for sure. I want to get a tent setup as you use in the introduction of this video but all in due time I suppose.
Last few months I have been learning lots about mushrooms 🍄 online. I am so excited you guys are teach us how to do this at home 😊 Looking forward to purchasing some 💜
Logs are a great investment in longer term food production. We didn't cover this in the video, but you can use your mushroom logs to inoculate new freshly cut logs (simply by stacking them together). That is historically how they cultivated shiitake in Japan. Jessica
Great information. Thank you. I got pink and blue oyster mushroom kits today. Last year we added red wine cap to our garden in a barn. We started growing them in the manger! We made some adjustments to add these two new packages! Growing in straw covered compost and the few that grew last year we’re truly garden giants. They were delicious too. I have forest I want to introduce my mushroom substrate in and appreciate the directions in your video!!
Very inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome interview! Looking forward to watching the second part! The Lady is Fab! Such a humble soul. I love your knowledgeable videos Herbal Jedi 🌟
We are using Red Alder and Maple here in the pacific northwest. I believe you have Oak in texas. That would be great for growing Reishi. I bet there are a bunch of deciduous hard wood that could grow Lions mane there too. Shiitake and Turkeytail grow on most hard wood logs like Alder, Ash, Birch, Bitternut, Cherry, Chestnut, Hophornbeam, Ironwood, Maple, Oak, Pecan, Sweet gum, Sycamore, Tulip poplar, Walnut, Willow and others.
We touch on that more in Part 2. Generally the easily cultivated edible mushrooms are grown on hardwood (deciduous) logs like maple, oak, birch, beech, alder. We have lots more info on our website www.growmushroomscanada.ca Jessica
Herbal Jedi we love you, from Wales! Are you aware of the #SaveSoil Conscious Planet campaign now happening worldwide... Can you make a video about this for your followers please?
My bathroom I feel would be ideal. A drainpipe from floor to ceiling with holes in and a 'raincoat' of plastic strips to keep the moisture in I think might work. It is close to a radiator but I only have it on low anyway. Mould has no problem growing on my ceiling so....!!
Can it be easily made into an indoor mushroom bed will it stay in like an apartment. I've always wanted to grow my own mushrooms but those little kids are are kind of expensive and I'm on social disability. So I'm looking for something that I can continually grow for a source of food for myself.
I have 2 large oak stumps in my yard. The trees were cut several years ago. One is already growing some giant polypore. Can I drill into them to grow mushrooms? if so, what type?
We have never grown any Amanita species. Because they don't decompose substrate, but rather form special associations with tree roots, they would not be simple to grow. I hope you find a way to be pain free. Jessica
Great question. I have never yet encountered literature citing concerns about cultivar mushrooms becoming invasive. Many of the species generally cultivated are cloned from wild species in north america - such as oyster mushrooms and lion's mane. Species from warmer climates like pink oyster can't survive Canadian winters outdoors. Shiitake and reishi native to asia grow well if you give them a heads start by planting mycelium into a log or sawdust, but I have not heard reports of them dispersing by spores to colonize new logs in Canada. I will keep my eyes open for more info on this. Jessica
@@GrowMushroomsCanada Thanks for the response. I hate to quote Hollywood but as Dr. Malcom says in Jurassic Park "life finds a way". I know we plant vegetables that aren't native but I'd hate to see mycelium get pushed out. It would be cool to see red belt rather than reishi being propagated
I have some large pieces of a cherry tree. What would you recommend to grow on that.. Right now there are turkey tails growing on it. The turkey tail are doing quite well I would be willing to donate some if you know of someone who needs it.
If there are already other mushrooms fruiting from the log, it would not be suitable for planting any more mushrooms into it as they would be outcompeted by the turkey tail. That said, if you have freshly cut cherry tree wood, you could apparently successfully grow medicinal turkey tail mushrooms on it :) You could also try oyster and shiitake, although fruit trees aren't reportedly very good substrate for those species.
If you are using a medium like straw, orchard dress, or alfalfa to further grow the mushrooms, are there contamination issues with any persistent herbicides which may be inside those mediums?

I could eat sautéed mushrooms for the rest of my life. I wish I could grow my own.
Not hard, a bucket with holes in it or a simple bag kit is the easiest way to grow them in small spaces if you don't have mush-room

Much appreciated for educating this to others... fungi is the solution to many problems we have, earth and body.
Indeed fungi hold the key to much healing and restoration, for the environment and for us. Thanks for your comment Jessica
Yooooo. Big ups
I keep my lions mane kit on top of the fridgerator on a plate with a bag over top of it to keep the humidity in. The heat from the fridge supplies the heat the mushrooms need to grow. The plate holds the water in to keep it moist.
Very resourceful! I can see you are aware of the conditions needed to make those mushrooms grow. Jessica
@@GrowMushroomsCanada I'm still learning for sure. I want to get a tent setup as you use in the introduction of this video but all in due time I suppose.
Awesome... I have to do this!
You do! Have fun and let us know if you have questions. Jessica www.growmushroomscanada.ca
I bought your lions main to try and now I grow all kinds thank you!
Cool and beautiful Lady. Thank you for this Interview.
Thank you!
Outstanding! Food freedom! Thank you for such a amazing guest and powerful information!

Glad you enjoyed it. Jessica
Outstanding thank you!
Excited to see part 2!
Part 2 is available now. Thanks for the feedback that you enjoyed this video. Jessica
Thank you for the video.
🙏🏾
I think everyone should jump on the shroom boom 💥 😉
Hey, Thank you for doing this great interview! Trying to learn to grow but also make a sustainable set up for upcoming food shortages.
Logs are a great investment in longer term food production. We didn't cover this in the video, but you can use your mushroom logs to inoculate new freshly cut logs (simply by stacking them together). That is historically how they cultivated shiitake in Japan. Jessica
I found a Reshi on a tree stump in the front yard of the place I'm working at today. Love Mushrooms 🍄
Loved this! I would like to try it!
It's fun! Glad you enjoyed the video. Jessica

Excellent interview! I’ll try growing a kit. Thanks the information and the discount!
My pleasure. I'm glad you found value in the video. Be sure to reach out if you have questions while growing your kit. Jessica

You say the word log how about putting a species on that maple oak pine hemlock birch I wouldn’t mind a little more clarification ty 😊👍

Fungi help create soil. Soil is so undervalued, and yet is essential for life on earth! Thanks for bringing awareness. Jessica

What do I need to do to grow my own morel mushrooms in my yard??

Totally :)
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it

@@freddonovan2978 where to search? Is it IG ??
@@joachimlunares4871 Yeah, he's got magic mushrooms, LSD, dmt etc
@@freddonovan2978 alright, I'll reach out to him immediately to get some
Have you ever grown amanita muscaria or a. persinia? I want to try to make a cream for my pain & also awful spasms.
We have never grown any Amanita species. Because they don't decompose substrate, but rather form special associations with tree roots, they would not be simple to grow. I hope you find a way to be pain free. Jessica
Scuse me i have a question: can the gynostemma, or jiaogulan helps to decrease the stress due from the work? Is It an adaptogenic herb?
Sorry to ask but what is it mean with tent or without tent?Because I was ordering and asked me that,thanks.
A humidity tent is an easy way to keep mushroom kits happy as they don’t dry out so fast. Using one is useful for better fruiting yields.
I have some old apple logs would they be suitable for any mushrooms
Is there a danger of introducing invasive species of mushrooms as has happened with other plants?
Great question. I have never yet encountered literature citing concerns about cultivar mushrooms becoming invasive. Many of the species generally cultivated are cloned from wild species in north america - such as oyster mushrooms and lion's mane. Species from warmer climates like pink oyster can't survive Canadian winters outdoors. Shiitake and reishi native to asia grow well if you give them a heads start by planting mycelium into a log or sawdust, but I have not heard reports of them dispersing by spores to colonize new logs in Canada.

@@GrowMushroomsCanada Thanks for the response. I hate to quote Hollywood but as Dr. Malcom says in Jurassic Park "life finds a way". I know we plant vegetables that aren't native but I'd hate to see mycelium get pushed out. It would be cool to see red belt rather than reishi being propagated

@@GrowMushroomsCanada Thank you so much for the feedback.. I have a couple of smaller pieces of cherry. I will try the inoculation
How about Beta-Glucans?
❤
There's a fungus among us!!🍄🍄🍄
Indeed many :)
😘
If you are using a medium like straw, orchard dress, or alfalfa to further grow the mushrooms, are there contamination issues with any persistent herbicides which may be inside those mediums?
Please tell us anything you know about growing Reishi!

I'm in love with you. Sorry ...
