How we grow oyster mushrooms in Winter!

[@brandip77]

I’ve been following you two for less than a week and have learned sooo much. Thank you and please keep posting.

[@AWindy94]

They were the first mushrooms I ever grew indoors! They are so delicious, and easy to grow. I always recommend them for anybody getting into indoor food gardening!

[@boyanionuonga5010]

wonderful. how did you mix your substrate ratio. if you use store bought mushroom can u use it as spawn

[@bonnie1303]

⁠@@boyanionuonga5010idk about ratio for this method, but you have to use colonized substrate as spawn - grains or something that has been colonized by the mushroom mycelium. You can buy spawn or you can make it, but homemade is much more complicated for a beginner.

[@lashall8697]

I appreciate how precise you guys are with instructions.👍

[@teresapotts3476]

So grateful for what you put out online! I enjoy you guys so much. Thank you

[@marianocolsin8968]

When dried and pulverized, oyster mushrooms make a great seasoning, some say it tastes even better than nutritional yeast!

[@iloveanimals2345]

a lot tastes better than nutritional yeast 😔

[@themushroominside6540]

Nutritional yeast is fungus as well which is why it tastes very similar when dried, mushrooms/edible fungus will taste vastly different when dried vs fresh, this is because certain compounds are only created during the drying process and are dependent on how you dry the mushrooms. Differing mushrooms will taste relatively the same when dried but how they are treated/dried is often not, leading to vastly different tastes as people approach fungus preservation differently towards certain fungus which is why you can get a really flavorful stock from certain dried cremini mushrooms brands rather than shitake and vise versa. For certain mushrooms like morels and truffles, drying them often removes their unique flavor compounds that are best experienced fresh as the chemicals are volatile and easily oxidize when not used quickly.

[@bonniebuchanan985]

Yeah & Have You checked the pricing on Pure Powdered Mushroom? It’s crazy! A few Years ago I bought one of those big spice plastic containers of Enochi (sp?) powdered Mushrooms and it cost me $40usd, given it lasted me ages (great for umami add to various recipes+always had what I needed for a mushroom soup base), so when it was all said and done it was probably cost effective, but that $40 hit was a lot (at least to my budget)..Plus, I have to be careful and read everything label+description wise, as many of the Mfgrs use sulfur to preserve dried mushrooms & I’m highly allergic to Sulfur…so make at home mushroom powder would be a lot safer+cost effective!😊👍

[@the_goat02]

​@@iloveanimals2345 i don't think u realize how common a seasoning nutritional yeast is

[@bambie7376]

ohh I wanna try!

[@zedmeinhardt3404]

The mycelium stage can grow on extremely high co² If you make the cuts after it is all colonized you can reduce contamination risk and keep humidity up without damage.

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

YES!!👍👍👍👍

[@rahulkumara4366]

P

[@Spe3D3m0n]

True. Even one or 2 cuts with a tyvek sleeve would filter the air and allow some gas exchange

[@zedmeinhardt3404]

FBI has entered the chat

[@MayorMcheese12]

Yeah i was confused on that part. Like how is it not getting contaminated or losing moisture from them cutting it in the beginning? They don’t look like they’re being very sterile

[@catherinepeters1715]

Wow! This is Amazing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@Oborowatabinostk]

You can use filter patches instead of cutting holes. Wait until they pin to cut the holes to decrease contamination (not necessary in a clean/filtered storage environment). Also, mushrooms will produce Vit D even after harvested, so the lights aren't necessary. Just set the harvested shrooms in sunlight for a bit...

[@hazel596]

This is the comment I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip!

[@QuickPLFMA]

This is easily my new favorite channel

[@nictnt8197]

An extra. It may be easier for some to not use a grow light. One of the best things about mushroom growing is not needing it. And if you are growing food over the winter, you know how rough that can be, lol. You can set them out in the sun for like 15, 30 minutes to get some vit d. Also, the whole oyster mushroom genus is great for cholesterol.

[@vs71597]

Thank you- the grow light part turned me off, my grow lights are all occupied with weed lol. For some reason I didn’t consider putting the mushrooms outside!!!!!! 😅😅

[@badcaseofstripes]

@@vs71597 you definitely dont need a grow light and you can put the fully grown mushrooms out in the sun for a little bit they are like sponges for vit d

[@gbazkycomedyhospital3471]

What is that white stuff you added?

[@SamoSjena]

An another extra, do not grow them in living spaces, they do release spores which is not a good thing to be breathing in daily, especially for people with asthma, allergies and similar.

[@tocchimocchi]

How or where do you get the mushroom spawns?? I really want to try it out. Do you have a step by step tutorial video on this by any chance? (Btw, great video!)

[@alejandroc7357]

Online or make it yourself

[@gordonmorgan6298]

This is gold. You guys rock.

[@bonnieswanson9025]

I think this method is better than some othe ones i have, no much artificals add❤❤

[@clarisa30]

They are so beautiful

[@SheliaMorris-c5q]

Great job, yall!!

[@bethanysmith5856]

Planning on making a grow area for mushrooms in the near future Discovered Amazon has so many different mushroom spores, very excited to try growing chicken of the woods and turkey tail since both grow in areas nearby so no issues if we find some growing on the wood nearby. Actually that a great scenario. Also hoping to grow lions mane if possible. Theres a mushroom farm just a few towns over so planning on making a trip over there to hopefully learn.

[@sydneysimon4999]

Wow thats a really easy way to do this thanks you! Do you use the hay water for anything?

[@HomegrownHandgathered]

You’re welcome 🙂 we usually just let the water cool and pour it in the garden

[@OffGridInvestor]

That's hay tea right there! YUCK!

[@omnacky]

You can use it as vegetable broth to make soup for horses with carrots and oats jk

I lived like this for a while. It was great. But I had to have a break every once in a while we would get a nice hotel room with pool and jacuzzi, then order room service.

[@SobanaM-dm5sn]

THANQ FOR EVERYTHING AMAZING JFK GRACE 🔥

[@kathleenpengelly8511]

They look delicious

[@lucyprice6237]

Oh my goodness, one has to have indour space for these procedures. And on top of that, a grow light too. In San Diego CA, USA, they are increasing our electricity rates so much that I can’t afford to light my rooms and hear them too. So I might have to buy them at the Japanese grocery store. But this is a WONDERFUL VIDEO!! So we’ll organized and informative. Thank you!!

[@daniellemartin9896]

LED Grow lights use a few pennies worth of energy per month

[@Mitchmckeeguitar]

You DO NOT NEED a grow light. You only need the light if you want to add vitamin D for them to absorb. I've grown many different kinds in completely dark places.

[@kccorliss3922]

Wouldnt need to be indoors in Sd

[@rachelclark6393]

Other commenter's have said that you don't really have to have a grow light, and that the mushrooms can be put outside in the sun even after harvesting and will still produce vitamin d. That sounds like something to investigate before you give up entirely on the idea.

[@xxx_putin_has_a_flaccid_pe5374]

There’s more space-efficient ways to grow mushrooms than this! If you look up the Uncle Ben’s method for example, people literally grow them in a pouch of pre-cooked Uncle Ben’s rice.

[@selflesssamaritan6417]

Growing food at home is truly a wonderful idea. And cultivating mushrooms can be great business opportunity, which is even possible in urban confined spaces.

[@darabounds6671]

That's really cool but I think If you do this frequently you might benefit from getting a more permanent fixture to grow your mushrooms in, like a bucket with air holes drilled into it.

[@thegracklepeck]

That's so cool! ❤

[@VegansTasteBetter]

This is so awesome I can’t wait to try this! Is very cold in NY and wanted to grow mushrooms indoors this year. Where do you get your spawn from?

[@meganbaker3524]

Please be careful as blue oysters will give off a lot of spores, and can be dangerous to breathe depending how many, and how ventilated the space.

[@lisalastname541]

Accurate! However, these have been harvested while the caps are still turned in a bit - this is a clear sign that the oysters have not begun sporulating yet. When the caps are fully turned up is when this starts to be a problem. It's still really important to think about if one is growing inside, and more than a bag or two 😊

[@baxmax3347]

As a beginer, how i will know when is time to harvest,before they release spores?

[@hippychicken82]

Love these videos im never going to ever grow mushrooms but love to see process and can pretend i will one day! 😅
