Growing Shiitake Mushrooms From Start to Finish - 557 Days!

[@alexpfeiffer710]

I think it would be amazing for you guys to create a physical book with images and things you have learned during your homestead journey! The imagery and editing you guys do in your videos is truly beautiful!

[@WildWeRoam]

oh wow, that is such a beautiful idea!! Thank you, Alex, that means a lot you think it would be worth doing :) big hugs from us!!

[@consultorrdtheeconomistdrp9121]

Do it. I will buy it when I can apply it.

[@joiwood423]

I would love to buy this book!

[@markrains8764]

Love the idea of how outdoor spaces, like that pretty clearing of forest for mushrooms, are an extension of your home - how it is like another space in your house. However, I am thoroughly disappointed that you referred to the outdoor room for your mushrooms as the "mushroom area" rather than the mush-ROOM. lol... :D Thanks for the great video.

[@pattyr6446]

Wow, I learned so much today! Had no idea that the logs that you innoculated could last 4 to 8 years! Great to see the process, the change of the seasons and Max growing up.... what a special story. Not sure I can duplicate the process in my back yard but has such an appreciation for those that do. Thanks for such an amazing story!

[@alexwhiteside]

Was it 48 or (4 to 8)?

Wine cap mushrooms can be grown very easily in gardens with a little inoculated saw dust mix with your mulch

[@ilzitek2419]

I love your channel. I believe in you. You are such hard workers. And visionaries. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us all.

[@WildWeRoam]

This is such a sweet and gentle comment, thank you so much for your support ❤ big hugs from all of us!

[@johnhone2521]

We did this years ago. I think you would really like oysters or lions mane. Know that as the years pass you will yield less but we found that some of them that kept coming were huge. Good blessings to your family and stay safe.

[@WildWeRoam]

That is so helpful for us to keep in mind! And thank you for the recommendation, that is also super helpful! Good blessings to you and yours as well ❤

[@1wolfgirl300]

Lions Mane and Oyster mushrooms are delightful and also easy to grow!

[@WildWeRoam]

How cool, seeing this recommended a few times now! Thank you so much for the tip :)

[@LifeInFrame]

Wow what a great episode! Great story telling, camera work, and video editing. I've also never considered creating a mushroom farm but I'm definitely going to keep it in mind now.

[@WildWeRoam]

That is so kind of you to say :-D thank you ❤

[@City_farmers88]

The forest is beautiful and peaceful, the fresh air is very good for health. Designing and making it with your family is great, it helps to strengthen the bond. Thank you for sharing these wonderful scenes with everyone.

[@JKMA818]

You are doing so great with your land making your life so much better with healthy food.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much :) we are certainly trying our best, thanks for the supportve comment!! ❤

[@Jennifer-on8ln]

The mushrooms look so beautiful! It must be so nice to be able to grow your own organic produce. Not only is it much more special to eat it when you’ve grown it yourself, you can also be absolutely sure that it’s truly organic and nutritious. What a beautiful video, as always. Thank you guys ❤ I loved learning about mushrooms. Can’t wait to see what else you decide to grow.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much, Jennifer, that honestly means so much to read :) thanks for spending some time with us and our mushrooms :)

[@HiSkippy]

Yummy, so happy your mushroom project is working!!!!

[@WildWeRoam]

yaaaaay we are so excited too :-D thanks for being happy with us!!

[@sgrvtl7183]

WOW this is so cool! Mushrooms have always been somewhat of a mystery and this video is truly enlightening!! Thank you for sharing~!💚

[@eliane1125]

Oh how I have been waiting for this video since you first started the process! loved it 😍

[@mmmlc620]

Yessssss you answered my mushroom question!! You guys rock!!

[@WildWeRoam]

yaaaay so glad the great mystery is solved :-D happy we could answer it for you!! ❤

[@mmmlc620]

I found your videos through the decluttering one and I love them and you all, I am always sending so much love for your family and your projects!

[@Chelsea_stewart]

What was the reason to use the angle grinder vs a drill? Is it because a drill is battery operated? I didn’t know you could use an angle grinder for that purpose!

[@OwlsSoaringInSkies]

This was so interesting to watch☺️

[@WildWeRoam]

That makes us so happy to hear!! Thanks for spending some time with us :)

[@wyntersynergyundignified]

SO cool! What a great story/video, Lou!

[@annicktorfs7596]

So well explained! I am definitely going to try to do this on my property! Thanks for the great video.

[@videomelanie]

What a clever idea!

[@NormanJLucia]

When I was younger living in upstate New York I would walk in the woods and find Morel mushrooms. They are sooo delicious. Thank you for your show it’s giving me much pleasure.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much for spending time with us, Norman :) foraging is such a wonderful experience, isn't it! We will have to look out for those Morels :-D

[@NormanJLucia]

@@WildWeRoam you should grow them. 😀

[@wreckergirl9810]

That’s such a fun family activity to do❤ do you sell any or just eat them ?

[@TrishaLynnSpins]

Looks like you had a chaga growing on a birch tree! Chaga and reishi are amazing mushrooms, highly revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not necessarily shrooms to cook and eat, but absolutely amazing for your immune systems!

[@WildWeRoam]

Oh wow, how cool! Thank you for spotting that, we will definitely read up on it! Hope you are having a really nice Monday Trisha :)

[@luciaconk]

Wow. Incredible. So cool.

[@margiebrown7436]

Morel mushrooms are absolutely delicious. They are a little tricky but if you can grow them you can grow any mushroom. You will love the way they taste. They are amazing!

[@WildWeRoam]

Oooooh that sounds like a great challenge! Thanks for the idea ❤

[@DTA-me3kv]

And the medicinenal benefits are amazing!!!

[@Julietnboyd1]

This is wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@KCbabypro1922]

Love this!!! how about a recipe on how you cook them

[@calhoun1968]

You might really like Lions Mane mushrooms, they taste like crab meat and are a "Nerogenisis" type mushrooms (Very good for the brain). Also, wherever you garden or food forest, Purple Wine cap (the Garden Giant) helps the garden grow and they tend to trap nematodes that eat plant roots. The Wine Cap is an excellent mushroom for grilling, frying and sauteing. Oyster mushrooms are excellent for grilling an entire stack of them under weight, such as a cast iron skillet, and treat them like a hamburger..., OMG, they are tasty as can be! Peace, Love and Light!!!

[@timh.1300]

Cool video, I love shrooms

[@WildWeRoam]

haha fungi are some mighty creatures, aren't they! glad you liked it :)

[@ewagornisiewicz-kusiak6814]

Well done guys ❤

[@LoveLife390]

Love this and so inspiring ❤

[@amyfrancois9121]

USE your stems to grind and make a powder to use.

[@OfBronzeandBlaze]

If you’re going to cultivate mushrooms, maybe try Chicken of the Woods

[@WildWeRoam]

Wow, that is an amazing name! Will definitely look into it, thank you!

[@emmamorgan7171]

Just lovely. ❤

[@Jojohutch]

Amen ❤

[@echoravenrider932]

Very inspiring!

[@nomorehate9176]

Great job!!!

[@lulasagg1585]

This so amazing....yummy! 😮

[@wreckergirl9810]

So this might sound stupid but after you pick the mushroom does another come up in the same spot???

[@DTA-me3kv]

Awesome

[@jaredbackus1416]

What county is this in? I'm new and live in NY also.

[@joejoe6370]

Here in tropical areas in India those mushrooms are way slimy and we harvest it and the slimy ones are a delicacy. It's was such a waste. It could have been sundried and keep for later used.

[@BB-dr2zs]

Those good look like the good kind. They look like the good for you kind and isnt as fun

[@farhanazmi5278]

Can I move into ur house? I’ll do anything just to live life like this

[@mjmarit]

I think your math is off with 30 lbs dried. 100 logs will yield about 30 lbs fresh shiitakes each fruiting. They sell for $15-24/lb... yielding $720 per fruiting. Which is awesome, but wanted to point out to others that your numbers are off.
