😊How come yours are growing so easy...we are working in a lab and still get contamination..you never talked about sterilization..

With the ease and use of having them out in the garden in paths and everything with very very very little work - I would move up to A for sure

Can you use the fruiting blocks to inoculate an outdoor mushroom bucket?

I love North Spore. I made a mushroom log several years ago after ash borers took a tree, but since it was so large it took awhile to inoculate and fruit. By the time it fruited I was hesitant to eat it - it was extremely unlikely it wasn’t a shiitake, but… North Spore was wonderful, asked me to send photos of top and bottom of the mushrooms, and confirmed they were shiitake. Now I feel comfortable eating from that log. Excellent customer service, highly recommend.

Definitely need to try the cardboard method. I have the grow bags languishing in my cupboard from only moderately successful experiments a few years ago.

They love nitrogen too! You can boil or pressure cook wood in organic fertilizer and they grow like crazy!

Could you take one mushroom block, turn it into 4 blocks with the cardboard then repeat the process once the mushrooms fully sprout in the sealed bag?

Recycled cardboard has PFAS chemicals in it. However, an initial search showed Costco has non-recycled boxes among their free boxes that they give away to customers.

Things this channel shows me that I'll never do:
1. Growing mushrooms, I don't like them and if you harvest a wrong mushroom you could die.
2. Fermentation, if you screw it up, you could die.

I am probably not the first to ask this, but you are not the guy that got arrested for collecting rainwater, right? I definitely want to support that person, but they looked so much like you that I am worried

What product do you spread in the wood chip method

@ChristinaMarieGibsonKirk
@

Wait can you grow truffle mushrooms at home?!?!

@zp7736
@

the other thing we've found with growing mushrooms in woodchips is that you have to keep applying the wooodchips or else they'll just work through all of it and stop growing.

What do you do about fly larva infesting mushrooms?

@nathanjlind

ב''ה, I'm probably not too horrified about growing on cardboard because the fungal enzymes and whatnot are probably really good at breaking down organic compounds that might be in there from inks, adhesives, solvents and whatnot, but there is a certain kind of perpetual idiocy in the pop-mycology community that if fungi are good at bioaccumulating heavy metals (and radionuclides) for bioremediation then 'this means just growing some mushrooms on contaminated land or wood or paper makes everything safe and good to eat, because they concentrated all the heavy metals into what you're about to eat because granola-y people are dumb sometimes.'

Would be interesting to see assay of arsenic and whatnot in mushrooms grown on the various substrates, along with the subjective does one taste better than another? reviews.

I saw in another video you're on Long Island. I also love North Spore! They're relatively nearby for us (I'm in CT).

Hello, I was thinking would grass from the lawnmower work at all or is green matter not as good for mushrooms. I am unlikely to try growing mushrooms soon but just an idea.

@some-ones

I have a shitake log that has been producing for about 15 years now it's really insane I thought it was done so many times but they just keep coming

@KRTRWZRD

I have always wondered if you could grow them inside your greenhouse.
Plants breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2
Mushrooms breathe in O2 and breathe out CO2
It is a mutually beneficial relationship.

I know in industrial greenhouses they actually pump in CO2 to help the plants grow.

The compost mixture that you use in your buckets, is also the same mixture that you can use for magic mushrooms. 😊

Hi!!!! Do you think it would be possible to use the shitake log method, but in a terrarium, not outside? That would probably not produce the textured mushrooms or the taste you described, but for decoration purposes, could it work?

@srznt5188

These plugs didn't work for shit...im at a year plus and no signs of mushrooms growing from the dowels!

I’ve been wanting to grow mushrooms and I’m still trying to decide how to do it. I was really hoping I’d be able to create a self sustaining bed but we’ll see

What do you think of shredding cardboard with an intense paper shredder? That’s what I’ve been using for mulch in my garden and I really like it. Do you think I could use it to grow mushrooms outside?

@pointeplusplus
@

the moment you cooked cardboard, I scratched it off my list

@destinyserrano2409
@

Hit up your local mushroom farmer and ask for spent blocks!! You can get them for free and can still get multiple flushes and free mushrooms!

@protodank
@

Can you grow that type of shroom?

Great video! Looking forward to more from you.

@avrahambuchbut3629

now the question is, which species can be grown on pure cardboard?
also how about mixing in some spent coffee grounds? tea leaves?

I know you posted this 4 days ago, but I hope you see this anyway. There's so much total garbage on YouTube. I just want to thank you from the heart for posting fantastic, helpful content consistently!! My fermented pickles are amazing (your video)! Thanks and please keep it up!❤✌️

I don't even like to eat mushrooms but i wanna grow them

@NobleMarcos
@

I liked that idea of growing indoors but I didn't know you really have to mount an exhaust for the spores. That said then that method is not going to work for me as I don't have a place where I could put the tent with a window for the exhaust. I will consider the mycosphere. Problem with that one is that I don't think it will tolerate the summer heat and or I'm also afraid that squirrels can get their way into the tent. I also need to worry about dead cap mushrooms that do grow in my yard from time to time making it's way into the mycosphere.

Wow spores are hugely expensive.... buying mushrooms is far cheaper... I suppose if I was rich I would try some of these methods

I'm new to mushroom growing and so not experienced in identifying mushrooms. I really like the idea of going in a garden and have seen lots of videos online where this seems to be successful. My question is how likely are you to get strains of a poisonous mushroom popping up amongst your grow. I don't mistakenly want to give friends something poisonous to eat. It doesn't seem to be much of a concern for most people growing this way online and I'm just wondering why this is ?
