  • Growing mushrooms can be complicated- but it doesn't have to be! In this video, I go over one of the simplest methods of growing mushrooms that pretty much anyone can do at home.
    All you need is:
    + A 5 Gallon Bucket
    + Aspen Wood Chips (even from the pet store!)
    + Oyster Mushroom Grain Spawn
    Happy growing!

We've really been enjoying the blue oyster mushrooms we had in 5lb bags in the laundry room and were hoping to scale up production. I appreciate you mentioning the pet store as an easy source of woodchips too, thanks for the tip! Amazon is crazy expensive for that.

      Hey! Do you got any tips? I'm going to start growing my own oyster mushrooms (blue, white) and I'm a first timer. By the way another good source of woodchips is an arborist, Chipdrop, or your local county landfill that processes mulch. I don't intend on paying for woodchips anytime soon :)

    I appreciate this video!
    I 1st saw it a couple of weeks ago & I got so excited about it that I was gathering my tools & drill bits the very next morning & at the same time, I had my 22 quart PC going, sterilizing the different substrates that I planned to mix together in a large tote that I thoroughly washed & wiped down inside and out with 70%ISP, including the lid. It was an all-day project & I had to run the PC 4 times for all the ingredients that were going to end up filling my bucket to the top. I just didn't have any wood chips to work with.
    My ingredients were coffee grounds, wood pellets, pearlite and my secret ingredient, half of a large paper grocery bag, stuffed with cannabis trimmings!😉😂👍
    I didn't do any layering. I thoroughly mixed everything in tote as came out of the PC. I had barely 2# of pearl & pink oyster mycelium left over from a recent grow that hadn't gone through a second flush and when the other mixture was cool enough not to kill my mycelium, I dumped it on top and thoroughly broke it up into small pieces and mixed it all up & filled my new drilled out, washed & sanitized grow bucket right up to the top. I somehow estimated perfectly the amounts of material for my substrate. I left the filled bucket out on the deck for a few hours to drain off excess liquid before I moved it into the basement & put it on one of my dogs leftover potty pads from when he was a pup.😉 I had maybe a cup leftover in the tote, and I rinsed that out onto the top of my compost pile. And YES!, 2 days ago I carefully scratched my way into the compost pile and I have mycelium production spreading quickly through the pile.😁
    My bucket is fast colonizing in the basement, with probably a couple more weeks before fruiting.
    I can hardly wait!!🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

    • @seancostello26
      @seancostello26 Pƙed 3 lety +58

      you only REALLY need to sterlize everything if you're working with agars and cultures.. that's when it will make a huge difference, as contamination in the agar will ruin the sample. You SHOULD sterilize everything just with alcohol before combining your grain spawn and your substrate, to avoid any contamination that will reduce your harvest, but you'll likely still get a decent yield without doing so, unless you have black mold or something in the area you're working in

      The amount of sterility required to grow is often overstated, but for good reason. You're better off being too careful and using slightly more alcohol, than not being careful enough and having to dump pounds of substrate (and waste the hours of work it took to prepare it) because everything got contaminated.

    For anyone who loves mushrooms, I wanna share a recipe for mushroom snacks here. 1. Tear the oyster mushrooms(or any mushroom really) into strips, however wide you like. 2. Place mushroom strips in a bowl, add a drizzle of oil and soy sauce, pinch of cumin (really important), salt, sugar, chilli powder (optional), white sesame seeds (optional), garlic granules (optional). 3. Mix the seasonings well with the mushroom strips. 4. Place on a baking tray. Oven bake at 200 degrees Celcius, check every 10 min. When they harden(crispy) on edges and look cooked. Enjoy! 5. Or if you happen to have an AirFryer, 200 degrees Celcius for around 15 min roughly. Or check every 10 min. Pause and shake in between. Nom Nom~

    I genuinely followed this guys instructions from beginning to end and was able to harvest my first oyster mushrooms after about 5ish weeks. Very low maintenance and I truly forgot about them at one point but I suggest to try it if you’re looking to grow something easy for yourself. I got my mushroom spawn from north spore and kept it in the fridge for a while before using it. The wood chips I got were from petco and I put it all in a standard home depot bucket. I suggest putting it in a shady spot outside because the spores may irritate some and cause excessive coughing.
