How To Grow Mushrooms: Inoculating Fruiting Blocks

[@YouOriginal]

Hello, Just when I lost faith in the mushroom community you commented on my video on the new mushroom growing group. Thank you so much after stalking you I found this, I will watch all your videos now and as we speak all my strains are being studied by New Zealand's government Mycologist to get them sequenced. Out of all the people in the world I hope to share these new oysters no one has ever grown to you (somehow). Look forward to seeing more of you. If ever you need a hand on KZbin I have been helping and studying it for 10 years. Don't forget your keywords in the description first nice and short :) subadubed and belled you... You never know who your help out there in cyberland btw I am a fat bald man haha thank you so much sir!

[@TheGoodFunGuy]

Did you ever get your hands on those crazy strains? I'd love to buy some if you do XD Mush love

[@mmurphy1180]

thanks,gotta love the KISS method, the universal answer to everything ha ha

[@marcelatalmazan4271]

You're awesome.Thx for all the info

[@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial]

Np! Thanks for letting us know you like the video! Much appreciated!

[@rivercitymushrooms9201]

2 tons/week?? Killing it. Also, could you make a video on your rye prep for bags?

Buenos días perdoname primero por no hablarte en inglés y lo segundo es que me eh enganchado a tus vídeos y quiero empezar cuanto antes pero antes estoy cogiendo todos los conocimientos que puedas darme y transmitirme con los vídeos así q primero cultivare la mente y ya después los hongos 🍄. Una pregunta indiscreta!?, cuando hablas que de cada bolsa de semilla de grano de hongos inoculados de 5 libras. Y haces una media de 20 bolsas de 12 libras!!!... Mi pregunta es!!! Esas 12 libras del sustrato del maestro, es hidratadas ya esas 12 libras oh son 5,6 libras y después la hidratas con agua y se quedarían en esas 12 libras finales para después repartir unos 0,276 libras por bolsa... Corrígeme si me equivoco.?? Y disculpame por la pregunta esque soy un curioso.. y al estar en inglés me cuentas muchísimo más... Gracias al traductor hoy en día... Muchas gracias por todo el amor que pones en los vídeos y te animo a que siga así!!! 💪💪 Yo sigo a día de hoy con mi mini serie tuya 😅😂😂 gran serie jejeje muchas gracias de nuevo y que pasen un gran día 😊.

What impulse sealer is that? And what length and width of seal? 👊

[@Gorkilein]

Hey I got a question... As I started trying LC my idea was to innoculate the substrate directly and skipping spawn since shaken LC should have more small innocculation points than any grain probably could and therefore colonize quicker than using Grains. Have you tried that? What were your results? Does it take less or more time than when you use spawn? And if so, why do you think?

[@mosxotelis]

Hey mate , can tell me any good idea (what u use) to keep rats bigs out from grow room and incubation room ? Thanks

[@mosxotelis]

@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial nice ty . but im scared because i dont know if they eat mushrooms soo when sell to people take any disease from rats

[@mosxotelis]

@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial thanks . did u know if the rats eat mushrooms ?

[@pollopollo3531]

I noticed you dont have much of a plenum of air after your seal. Its something I have difficulty in obtaining using the impulse sealer, and it makes it difficult to shake up after. Do you find not having much of a plenum is ok and doesnt affect the spawn run?

[@neil9383]

Nice video again. Hey wanted you to know I used the "Mossy" coupon code at North Spore and I'm gonna use it at House of Hydro pretty soon for the discount, thanks for that. I wanted to run something past you. I watched your video on cleaning the grow room and I've been thinking and reading on what is best to use in my grow room as far as safety and killing mold and bacteria. I saw you use bleach & soap. I was reading that white distilled vinegar might be the best option. 1) Bleach can be harmful to the lungs, so even with a ventilated room we would still get a whiff of bleach here and there so we probably need to wear a vapor mask instead of the particulate mask we usually wear in the grow room. 2) Bleach does not penetrate porous materials such as concrete, wood, etc., so it doesn't get down to the root of mold growing in pores... vinegar does. So just some thoughts I wanted to get your opinion on... I'm going to use distilled & undiluted white vinegar to clean the walls and floors in the grow room and thought I'd run it past you.

[@jamieackinclose2236]

Quick question...Newbie here. I have 4, 6lb sterile substrate blocks and O.M. grain spawn. I have alcohol in a spray bottle. I don't have a sealer or any other large scale mushroom farmer equipment. Can I still do this safely? Any suggestions? Thanks Tons from Vancouver Island BC!

[@donaldbest7621]

I do 5 pounds per 25 bags, it works fine for me. It’s been going great so far, I wish I could do as much as you, but I need more help and time to get that much going.....coffee and rice hulls do not lend to your methods of filling blocks/bags. I am kind of strapped to how I do things as the moisture is done by feel, because the coffee varies in how much water it holds. I don’t add water, I add bran to the mix to soak up excess water(not much). When I am going for a couple more months, I will tackle making a system for doing more bags based on subtractive moisture. A note, coffee works great for all mushrooms, I have fifty bags of turkey tail loving that stuff, the fruit would make stamet jelous(probably not, but still impressive) lions mane as well, great second flushes. I am doing maitake next, and I will eventually try matsutake. I see every one of your videos....thanks!

[@JshockSubmariner735]

What’s your bulk substrate mix? Have you used sugar cane mulch? any recommendations if I do?

[@Enochulate88]

100% coco

[@okin8949]

Wow - Lion's Mane and Pink Oysters in the same room? I thought the Lions Mane need lower temperature. Thanx for the video!

[@Chadwolverton]

There is a strain that can fruit in warm conditions

[@JshockSubmariner735]

Chad Wolverton what strain is that?

[@victorcatao2407]

Hey man i was watching your video from Brazil and trying to understand the measures that you talked about, can u tell the percentage of spawn that you use in each bag? tks a lot

[@kathyanne3587]

Love your videos, especially the music.....and i am an oldster.......haha

[@MetalDoraemon6]

Hello. I hope you can help me. I have done 30 blocks of oak sawdust, from agar to grain never had more than 2 contam and all of these bags went "dirty". I have used oak sawdust i got from a wood factory of a friend, could that be the issue? SInce its not pellets and didnt went trough the heating process? I will give it a go and sterilize more time. What can i do? Would Pasteurization instead of Sterilization do the deal? Since i am a home grower i am starting to see that probably grain to sterile bulk substrate is an issue, but how can i grow edibles then??

[@66bigbuds]

I don't have any luck fruiting oysters. But doing good with shitakes.

[@kristikilbourne8637]

Looks like you have pinks and yellow growing with your blues. Do they all do well at the same temps? I thought the pinks and yellows needed a warmer room

[@marlibrown5174]

Hey what's your ratio of spawn per 10lb block.

[@samuel58237]

How many bags do you pasturize in a load? 100 gallon trough?

[@Ekzimmermann]

Great editing. The payoff at the end with the Lion's Mane!

[@jesseknox9322]

Sorry about your cold. No fun. Eat some shiitake ;) i was going to ask do you have any problems with using a wood brace on your shelving? I know they're treated, but dont know if theres any issues with moisture

[@Librarian1960Five5Five]

Love you guy ben watching all your videos I've really ben wanting to buy one of your lions mane blocks for 37$ for a while now but priority mail brings my total to 149.75$ retail ground 83.22$ but then i see an option that says media mail and library mail that are under 10$ shipping?? so i guess my question is what is media/library mail??? I'm scared to use them not knowing if its gonna work

You should try taking oregano oil capsules for your chest cold it's very good for you and antiviral don't eat it too late at night it'll keep you awake I usually eat about six tablets a day and it reads it was in three days

Question, who designed your logo?

Andrew do you humidify your colonization room

@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial Thanks... i have been noticing that most people do not, except i read in Stamets books that he does.

[@silverleapers]

I really really don't want to sound like a nit picker and mean...but. Again, the end of the bag and heat sealer are outside of the hepa flow (can't deny it this time as it was lined-up as end on in the shot). The spawn bag was also outside of the hepa air stream while filling a bag. Your fingers went inside a bag about to be filled..... Perhaps this video is not demonstrating the best sterile technique to be teaching people. But hey, white rot mushrooms are easy to grow and will kill most bacteria if they get in (not so much so regarding mold - yikes). It really does show that if done in a clean room, sterile technique is not all that important when growing these ferocious fast growing species. Up here in Canada we can inoc bags with white rot and brown rot species outside (no hepa at all) in winter when it is perfectly calm with virtually no contams. I'm not sure that alcohol all over each bag is actually doing anything besides harming you. ;-) Nice video though. I really do enjoy them!

Hi im intrested in how u grown youre mushrooms can u help me with some more info that will be great king regarts.

i'd personally replace 'vector' with 'variable', just for clarity

[@4corander]

vectors have more application in dynamic energy systems, stress analysis for structural engineering etc. Not mycology lolz

Why not use a tumbler to shake/mix sub with spawn? I think a DIY one can be cheaper then the cost of shakers?

[@BhaktaChase]

@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial I've heard you can use a concrete mixer

[@Shamg33]

5lbs of grain spawn / 40 bags = 0.125lbs 1.25% of 12lbs means 2 oz grain spawn/substrate ratio is my maths correct? 😳
