Grow Lion's Mane Mushrooms In A Bucket At Home (No Sterilization Or Pasteurization!)

I haven’t seen any videos on lions mane being grown in buckets, thank you for proving it can be done! 💪🍄

[@SilverFrogStudios]

I think you probably could grow anything in buckets at this inoculation ratio. It's basically taking a grow mix type ratio (40/60) and separating out it's high and low nutrient parts, and colonizing the high nutrient in sterile conditions, and then you don't need to bother with sanitation for the low nutrient part. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be too much of a yield penalty here. It would be interesting to see masters mix separated out this way, colonize the soy hulls under sterile tech, then dump it in a bucket of sawdust.

[@folkfungi]

No problem!

[@kemz1969]

Spencer, this was so helpful! So informative! I have a few questions: 1. Do you ever remove the lid? 2. How long can you grow from that bucket before contents need to be disposed? 3. What is too much moisture? I see you spraying but how to prevent over moisturizing?

[@LJay205]

I would also love to know how many times you can harvest before replacing everything.

[@mysterydata9640]

Until it stops giving or contaminates. Eventually will start running low on nutrients and keep putting out less and less until it's not worth it anymore.

[@da4647]

Very interesting substrate, i noticed its very common to use hardwood fuel pellets and wheat bran mixed together, but this video proves hardwood fuel pellets can be used by itself as well. Going to try your way, but im going to add one cup of wheat bran just for more nutrients. Hopefully that does not mess up the moisture content. Thank you for the video!

[@folkfungi]

Let me know how it goes! Adding wheat bran without sterilization increases the chance for contamination. If your substrate becomes contaminated, try half a cup or less. But if you use a really high spawn rate, like the one used in this video, I think you can get away with using a decent amount of unsterilized wheat bran.

[@18Hands]

You can add something like gypsum safely, but since the wood pellets are mostly sterilized, any other nutrients you add will more than likely get moldy unless you sterilize the substrate mix.

[@riley8939]

I'm trying a slight variation on this method now! I didn't have enough grain spawn to do a 40% mixture, so I pasteurized aspen shavings meant for bunny bedding and used a spent Lion's Mane sawdust block to innoculate. I just broke it apart and sprinkled it over every handful of soaked aspen I put in the bucket. Hopefully it goes well and thanks for the inspiration!

[@Michagoose2003]

I recently started growing lion's mane at home for the first time, and I'm curious about a couple of things. I inoculated three jars with liquid culture in whole oats, and let the mycelium colonize the jars before splitting the grain spawn up between two buckets. I was a little concerned when I emptied the jars into the hard wood pellets I used, as the middle of the jars didn't seem to be as well colonized as the outsides. There was some really nice, thick mycelium on the outer edge of the jars, but the middle of all three jars was pretty sparse. I'd always read that you didn't want uncolonized grains in your bulk substrate, but rewatching your video it looks like the spawn you used wasn't anywhere near as colonized as mine was. Is it normal when using jars to not have the entire thing colonized like mine? Because it looks like yours worked out fine. Also, I followed the formula for how much water to use in your hard wood pellets, but it seemed like mine came out dry. I'm somewhat familiar with the term "field capacity", and my pellets didn't seem to have any excess water to squeeze out like I expected. I went ahead and pushed forward with it all anyway, but I'm worried that my hard wood pellets may not have enough water in them. Does the pellets/water ratio that you use naturally give a slightly drier substrate?

[@deenabailarina]

This is so great! Will this process also work with sawdust spawn (instead of grain spawn)? I know the mushrooms won't contain gluten themselves, but we have two folks with celiac and it's just healthier for us not to have gluten-containing grains around at all to avoid cross-contamination and reactions. TY!

[@folkfungi]

No problem! This was my first experiment with a lion's mane bucket, and my thinking was that, since the bucket weighs about two 4-pound grow bags, that two holes might be a good option. I've recently created a new lion's mane bucket with just one hole, and it works just as good, if not better. One advantage of having just one hole is that the substrate won't dry out as fast.

Hello, I really appreciate the video. Great explanation! Are your products organic?

[@stratocaster1134]

Thanks for the video. A couple of questions, how many flushes would you usually get? And is there a disadvantage of not sterilising the substrate, e.g would it produce for flushes if it was sterilised?

[@folkfungi]

You can get anywhere from 2 to 5 flushes! After the first flush, the following flushes will yield less as nutrients in the substrate become gradually depleted. The disadvantage of not sterilizing is that you increase contamination risk. However, by using a high spawn rate, it greatly reduces contamination risk. I've never experienced contamination with this method.

[@stratocaster1134]

@@folkfungi Thanks for the info! Would you say that it would produce a similar yield to the standard grow bag?

[@folkfungi]

@@stratocaster1134 In total, the substrate weighs about 9 pounds, which is the size of two medium grow bags. In terms of yield, it's hard to make an exact comparison to grow bags because the preparation is a bit different. With the bucket, there's no supplementation (like wheat bran) added, which is typical for a grow bag. Not adding wheat bran makes it possible to skip sterilization, but, if you were to add wheat bran and sterilize, which is how grow bags are typically prepared, the yield would increase. At the same time, the bucket method I've outlined in the video calls for a grain spawn rate that is much higher than what you'd expect in a grow bag (40% instead of 10% to 15%), and more grain = more nutrition = higher yield. Ultimately, you'll likely get a higher yield by creating a 9-pound supplemented grow bag than you would with a 9-pound bucket with a high spawn rate, but the magic of the bucket method is that you don't need a pressure cooker or any other expensive equipment. Just a bucket and someone to buy grain spawn from!
