Thank you for all that you do, guys. I bought your oyster grow kit and saw my 1st pin today 😂😍.. It's great and my 3 year old is just as excited as I am ❤
This is great and I appreciate for the good and useful information
Great video.
A lot of these mushrooms seem to have a culinary bend to them. Do you have videos on how to prepare them?
I think it would be incredible if I could prepare some (live cooking) at a farmers market. Alot of people would look and tell you how great the shrooms appear but don't buy because they haven't the vaguest idea of how to prepare them or what they taste like.
I think if I provided a little folding cookbook along with a fresh tasting, my sales would increase exponentially.
I like that idea! We're not currently doing any farmers markets, as most of our time currently is going towards our new course lessons, but I think a sister video to this on how to cook them would be a great idea, thanks!!
I am a pensioner. I have no practical experience in mushroom growing. I would like to establish a small mushroom growing facility to supply our local farmers market. Could you please let me know about the course that you could offer to get me started?
Hello... great to hear that you're interested in growing mushrooms, and I think that oyster mushrooms would be a great one to start with and can be grown using Low Tech methods, so less equipment and start up costs required. We have an online workshop which is aimed at those thinking about taking the next step, we wish you all the best!! ruclips.net/video/icKeO-kyiGk/видео.htmlsi=MmxQflfSAFtD5MGE
Have you thought about growing morel mushrooms? They are quite popular as well. I've seen them sold in grocery stores as high as $30 per pound
Lion's man is my favourite
I recently enjoyed growing pioppino, but I am looking forward to growing blue and yellow oysters next.
Great info! I have been growing successfully at home, Lion's Mane and Oyster. Have been foraging for 20 odd years, in northeastern Massachusetts. I know that morels are tough in cultivation, but i am very interested in pursuing a trial. Have had the pleasure of foraging large quantities in an old apple orchard, They are so good and unique in appearance. Of course I want to try growing everything...I'm subscribed so will keep watching. Thanks!
thank you!! you reminded me of my mycological passion.
It's a great passion too, thanks for watching!
Great video...thanks!
My preferences is in this order: King Oyster - for the shelf life, Shiitake, Black Pearl, Lions Mane. I haven't tried Pioppino yet...but hopefully I'll do it soon.
Nice list! Yeah the shelf life of Kings (and Shiitake) is amazing and gives alot of flexibility. Adding Piopinno to these would be a perfect mix 👌
I'm currently starting a rythmic production with oyster mushrooms. Once that engine is going I am going to come back to this video to see the next type of mushroom I can include in my portfolio :)
Good way to go about it! I'd recommend Lion's Mane or Piopinno to add next 👍
Any benefit to growing in hanging bags vs blocks? Im a block grower but am interested in the hanging bags. Thanks :)
Good question!
Pros:
- no need for shelving (cheaper/simpler)
- less cleaning (without shelves)
- can do more substrate per bag (less handling/moving bags)
- cheaper production cost per kg/lb of mushrooms (if filling with pasteurised substrate)
Cons:
- limited to pasteurised substrate (if doing bigger polythene/biodegradable column bags)
- works best with Oysters (not so well suited to most other gourmet species)
🥰🥰👍🍄
hey can i have a good start up of mushroom farming
No
@@alvinwe8396 but why
That depends on many different factors! Certainly possible with enough hard work :-)
These species that can be grown in pasteurized straw, could wood pellets be a substitute?
Yes - indeed they can!
@@GroCycleTV Thats really good to know. Thanks for the reply, guys, ive been watching your content since the starting of the pandemic. You have teach me a lot.
Thanks again!
Morels, have you guys experience with growing Morels?
No, haven't tried growing Morels yet. It can be done, but it's not easy!
Substrate fOr Lion Mane mushroom?.
They love to grow on a hardwood sawdust... try supplementing up to 20% with bran, or they also like to grow on Master's Mix (50:50 Hardwood Sawdust : Soy Bean hulls)
Sir is it ok if i use cardboard as a substrate to grow oyster mushrooms....🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️🐾🐕
Yes you can, but it will produce lower yields as cardboard doesn't have a great nutritional profile. Make sure not printed with inks that contain heavy metals (not usually an issue in Europe/North America)
🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️🐾🐕
but if we can the mushroom then its life inc
