Mushrooms taste really good I saw this vid since I'm gonna move to a house with alot of space and soil 😋

[@maslondotravels]

Thanks for doing this video, I would rather grow mushrooms like this than other techniques....

[@Palalune]

Thanks for this video. Mushrooms are becoming a more and more important part of our diet, but in the stores anything that's not a button mushroom is usually very expensive. Will start to experiment with growing my own outside this year. Already had good success indoors with premade kits, but the whole cellar is full of spores now ^^.

[@yesikaalvarez2154]

here's a few tips worth trying select the best variety - there are lots available. grow them in the right environment - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and can be placed outdoors (I read these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower site )

[@Erike_Allan]

That's exactly what I was looking for. I just need to buy the sporus one time and then year after year give the mushroom more food, that is, wood for them.

[@thiabrabson2533]

Great video content!

[@k9spot1]

Can you grow more than one variety at a time in one bed? Also will they have trouble in different climates like very hot or cold winter months? Assuming you keep them moist always. Do you need to keep them moist weekly in the nongrowing season as well?

[@robrod7120]

They will compete, but yes. You can grow different mushrooms in the same bed. If you want to grow them, look into what works best for your climate, as some cannot deal with hard frosts very well and some cant handle high heat. And yes, they need constant moisture even when they are not fruiting

[@Nicolas111]

Cool stuff !

[@tharwayamoe1032]

GREAT LOVE THE GARDEN

[@letsgetdirty1124]

Oh wow. Thankyou for this valuable info. I will be trying this

[@fragrancedeparadis1275]

Thanks for sharing

[@TheNightwalker247]

You could use the stem butt's for paul stamets "one dowel method". Basically innoculating a whole bunch of substrate with stem butts. Wet cardboard is supposed to work great as a first start and then a box full of wood dowels under some shade in the garden.

[@camillea7697]

Wonderful vid!

[@IamMySelf7872]

here, oyster mushroom and ear mushroom grow wildly, as long as there wood and wet. also we grow mushroom with corncob

[@nirengiM]

Great idea! Nice setup

[@gawain8000]

Nice vid

[@TheEpicFlyer]

Ha ha mid (:

[@Naturally-Kandice]

Hi Guys, Nice! I didn't see the part you had mentioned about keeping out pests? Here in Hawaii we have loads of slugs. I have an idea to put copper tape around something like strips of Formica, then circle the clusters as soon as they appear. Also on the top of these strips of Formica I was going to add some fungus gnat/fly tape. I haven't made these yet. Always so much to do.

[@GroCycleTV]

Yes that could help to do that. It is difficult to stop pests completely when growing outside. The best thing is to just harvest early on before the cap opens up

[@MorusAlba1975]

Every night, check the mushrooms with a flashlight and a pair of scissors (cutting the slugs in half). Keep doing that for two or three weeks to break their reproductive cycle and eradicate them from your garden. The slugs do indeed love the winecap mushrooms, which is great if you're also growing lettuce etc. Makes it very easy to exterminate them.

[@jeffmcgraw1577]

Hey there, Really enjoy your videos! Three quick questions for you. 1) Can I create a King Strapharia bed in Fall?? Or do I need to wait until Spring? It's Oct 19th and I'm in the Seattle area. 2) What type of wood chip do you recommend? 3) Are you using water directly from the hose to wet down your bed?? Or do I need to use hose water from a barrel after the chlorine has evaporated. Thanks!

[@schariansamuda3326]

The best viedo ever

[@zentatonic]

Did you pasteurize the wood chips and/or straw?

[@simongreen1252]

Excellent video. I am due to start my first beds. I quite fancy a straw bed, and a wood chip one. That way I hope to have two varieties to choose from.

[@thedoonesburyband6763]

im stoked to start growing!!!!

[@GroCycleTV]

Good luck with it!

[@Eusantdac]

Do You sterilize the wood-chips/substrate before adding the spores?

[@adrihalut]

Thank You! What if we have mainly softwoods around here? Are there some mushroom varieties that would do well?

[@hollygregson6040]

Thanks for this great video. We started a Red Wine Cap bed over at Wakelyns last spring, only 8m x .75 and harvested 50kg from it last year in 4 flushes!! I was amazed and our CSA veg share customers and local wholesale buyers loved them. I'm curious why you use the plucking harvesting method rather than cutting? Is there a reason why?

[@Bob123moo]

Will it survive in the winter?

[@danilles.4247]

In southern hot and dry climate, when is the best time to set up the bed and when would you expect a harvest? Im in central texas and I have a few shady spots in my yard where I want to try this. If I plant in spring will the bed survive the hot summer and can I expect to harvest in fall? or should I plant in winter and harvest early summer?

[@GroCycleTV]

you can start at anytime of year really, but late winter or early spring is best...then water it regularly during hot/dry weather through the summertime and you should expect a harvest in the late summer of early autumn

Can I grow mushrooms outside during winter? It's November in northern California. Never snows. 50s-60s during the day and high 30s at night. Thanks.

[@alancarlyon340]

Hi, great information in growing mushrooms! Question - Can one use sawdust instead of woodchip? My son throws out bags of sawdust from his workshop, so it would be great if this can be used? I am new at gardening, I am a pensioner trying to create my own food here in Scotland. Many thanks!

[@lewisf9858]

Straw and sawdust are nitrogen poor and semi-selective for mushrooms. Usually, these substrates are supplemented with nitrogen to increase mushrooms yields. When nitrogen is added, however, selectivity is somewhat lost (other fungi will grow in the substrate). All depends really mate! It can work, But I would honestly use wood chippings personally mate :)

[@ryanz5329]

Give it a try! Research what species likes woodchips best. Mushrooms are crafty and will grow if you let them!

[@dannyboi7695]

Yes you can grow on just sawdust. Just make sure its only hardwood.

[@Marlene5018]

Wood chip from cedar will grow nothing because is very oily and this kill the mushrooms 🍄 🔪

[@moh19931000]

@@lewisf9858 how is sawdust nitrogen poor but woodchips not?? they are the same thing except in different sizes!

[@Marlene5018]

What kind of wood chip or from which specifically tree? Also, why here you don’t need sanitizing the area but you would if you do it in a bag or bucket? 🤔

[@rachelfryer]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Can we do this with regular mushrooms (ie button or chestnut mushrooms) and any recommendations for where to buy the spawn? Is it too late (end March)? Is vermiculite any good for keeping moisture in? I've been unsuccessful with a few attempts of growing them indoors

[@jamesneville441]

Can you start this any time of year?

[@timcoombe]

I’m trying this at the moment, having made the bed a few weeks ago. Now, reading Mycelium Running, I wonder whether the cardboard and wood chip should be watered at each layer, so the spawn doesn’t come into contact with a dry surface.

[@DLong-wp8su]

What are the varieties best growth in the garden?

[@tomt637]

Would this method work well when combined with growing a low shade creating plant such as strawberries instead of shade cloth, to try and maximise on yield. or do you think the bed would be too nutrient deficient with only one or two mulch and straw top ups a year? Great video thank you very much!

[@GroCycleTV]

I think is is a great idea and we have put this into practice with squash & pumpkins instead of strawberries

[@leoncryp8182]

@@GroCycleTV How are the pumpkins are they coexisting well? Im going to assume they will, looks like its also would it be possible to put it in a large black garbage bag instead of the floor? poke a few holes in the bottom for drainage and keep it somewhere shady.

[@k9spot1]

tomt637 I looked up a peer reviewed article about wine caps’ effects on soil and it found that they actually increase the organic matter and phosphorus levels because they break down the wood and eat other nutrients that plants don’t need leaving behind the good stuff and they actually recommended growing them in a farm setting, saying that could be surprisingly useful there.

[@Muzart]

Thanks for this informative video. Do you need to replace the cardboard every year or so?

[@toadstoolze]

Should I use grain spawn or sawdust spawn? Thanks for the vid btw ✌️

[@GroCycleTV]

you can use either...with grain spawn you can face issues with mice digging it up, so sawdust spawn is preferable, but we've also made beds fine with grain spawn in the past as well

[@Benpriebe314]

Does the mycelium stay stagnant over the winter or disintegrate/repopulate naturally when it warms up? What's the temp there and/or the temp range that you'd think this would be possible? Were you happy with the yield you got as well? Thanks much for the info guys, y'all are pioneers!

[@john-smith.]

Stays stagnate, and will freeze/recover.

[@GroCycleTV]

Like John says, the mycelium just stays dormant in colder temperatures and then starts growing again when it warms up. Ideal temperatures for growth to occur are between 10C - 30C. The yield we got from the 1st year of this bed was probably around 1kg, so yeah worth the effort and we'll keep feeding it for the years ahead.

[@rungus24]

I've just bought a house with a small garden, and I'm trying to work out how to make the best use of that garden for food production, and I've been wondering what to do along the southern edge in the shade of the fence. Would I be right in thinking that growing mushrooms would be a good way to make a shaded area productive? I know mushrooms don't photosynthesise, so do you think it would be a good use of shaded space? Is too much direct sunlight actually bad for mushrooms? Thanks.

[@GroCycleTV]

Yes establishing a mushroom bed could be a great use for a space like that. It won't fruit every week, but you will get at least 2-3 harvests each season, sometime more. Too mush sunlight is not desirable when growing outside as it dries the substrate and the mushrooms out, so a shaded spot is ideal

What happens if other, non-edible mushrooms start growing in the same bed? I ask this because my usual veggie beds have a few inky cap mushrooms here and there. Would that mean the edible mushrooms are contaminated? Would they still be good to consume, if they grow alongside non-edible varieties?
