- If you are interested in growing Oyster Mushroom mycelium (so that in the long run you can harvest Oyster Mushrooms) this video will show you how to do so from a DIY mushroom garden kit.
Did this in a raised bed with straw, wood shavings and wheat bran, worked great!
Instead of coffee grounds right?
@@pufish3176 Yes, no coffee grounds.
@@lastblow4563 Ok thanks, just making sure I don't do anything wrong
The cool thing about growing mushrooms is that even after you get your fruiting bodies from your first box as long as the mycelium is alive you could repeat the process to divide the now much larger amount of mycelium (At that point the entire mass of coffee grounds would have a much more massive colony of it than the block you started out with.) You can also cultivate the mycelium in Agar dishes at any time to produce liquid mycelium culture and Grain Spawn. Finally, you can take spore prints from some of the caps and use that to create liquid spore culture as well. Currently, I'm starting with one five-gallon bucket as a test project. I am currently in the creating grain spawn stage from a syringe of liquid mycelium culture I bought online. It's only been a day and in the three mason jars I've started I can already see signs of Mycelium growing. When the jars are fully colonized I plan on using something similar to this in a five-gallon bucket, using aspen wood chips. I would have used coffee grounds but I just started thinking about this project two weeks ago and didn't really have any saved up.
Hows it going
@@tonymontan7171 I had the initial inoculation of my rye grains go really well. I've also had a bucket colonize very fast and it's got pins coming our from everywhere almost. But the pins look different from the pins on the FreshcapMushrooms Bucket video. I don't know if they are younger pins or if Its a failure. I guess I will know sometime later.
I'm really glad you said to sterilize the coffee. Coffee is horrible for contamination if you don't sterilize it. My channel has some mushroom videos also.
You joking? Sterilizing it then dropping it into the open air just gave food to whatever molds will eat it...which if you've ever done kitchen compost is about every color mold one could imagine.
I think she meant pasteurize not sterilize. Plus the fact that the grounds were in a crock pot looking bowl and not in some container coming out of an autoclave.
Just for those wondering- Pure coffee grounds is a poor substrate for mushrooms. Your mycelium block should be broken up into as many tiny pieces as possible also in order to provide more inoculation points for your chosen substrate. Mixing your spawn well into your substrate instead of layering it will also speed up colonization and chances for success.
Taviddude how much water then?
I’ve had great results with coffee grinds mixed with aspen wood flakes.
I just opened a grow kit box and I had a feeling I wanted to break the block up and try growing it some different ways.
when she said sterilized, she actually meant pasteurized. Pasteurization takes place when boiling hot water is poured over the coffee grounds and is different from sterilization. Pasteurization kills mold spores and sterilization only kills germs. also, it's important to note that the coffee grounds may have to be rinsed several times in order to get a stable pH of 6.5. I have always been interested in cultivating mushrooms since I was 13. I am now 18. it took me so long just to get hardy mushrooms to fruit and I pretty much had to find it all out myself because these things are poorly explained on CZcams. I don't blame anyone for providing false info because i would have done the same. If anyone is struggling like I have in the past, my biggest tip is to pay attention to your substrate. Please look into some basic soil and substrate science to ensure the proper growth of your mushrooms. With knowledge on basic soil science, you can grow anything.
I guess I was lucky. I found a mushroom on the lawn, placed it on a straw bale that had been sitting under a tree since early spring, and next time I looked there were little mushrooms growing on the bale. Thanks for your info, because I had questions about the coffee grounds.
Pasteurization is milder heat treatment that only destroys pathogenic bacteria and other bacteria destroyed at lower temperatures. It does not kill off all bacteria. Sterilization on the other hand, receives a much higher heat treatment which renders the product sterile.
Hi Aaron, with respect you should remove your comment as it is deeply flawed. As mentioned by another here, Sterilisation is a far more serious process than Pasteurisation, the afore mentioned method of sterilisation encompasses the complete killing of all life forms, toxins etc. by various methods such as temperature or chemical agents. Pasteurisation is the rapid heating above 72°C for 1 minute in the food industry and subsequent rapid cooling to 4°C or below. It is more complicated than this with a time and temperature varient.
In the interests of understanding what she is actually doing is scalding. Sufficient for a home hobbies.
We're gonna need a bigger coffee pot
That’s a lot of coffee I’ve got to drink
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!
Came across your video. Hope you make more.
There is a very high probability of mold contamination with this method. Coffee grounds are so nutritious that you need to keep them in an isolated environment such as a jar or bag to keep the other competitive molds out
You know what would be really helpful? If you showed the results of this effort!
thanks for this nice and helpful vid
Use a big pot, boil the water then measure the temperature It will be around 210 (100'c) and will start dropping. Once it is 180 dump the coffee, cover it up and use a blanket to cover the pot all around to maintain as high temp as possible for an hour. Do not put the coffee in at above 185 or you will have problems with mold colonizing it before the mycelium will.
Keep everything that comes in contact with the inner part of the container/bag etc sterile. Rubber gloves and paper towels and alcohol or peroxide helps. Every little thing helps. If you can afford to build a closed chamber with long rubber gloves to do the work even better. The air is full of contaminating bacteria, spores, and microorganisms and you are providing them with the perfect place to grow. You want to minimize everything else and maximize mycelium.
Best of luck but preparation is more important.
This is a very good comment. Yes, you might pull it off by following these instructions, but there are so many ways to improve on this technique like pasteurization 160-180F for about an hour. It is my experience that it's really hard to get good results from coffee grounds in open air preparations due to the various other fungi and bacteria that thrive on the same conditions and nutrients.
Mycology is a race as to which organism is able to eat the food first. When the food is gone, they fruit and thereby broadcast new spores in an attempt at starting new life on new food.
hii,
why is that when over 180 F will causes molds to "wake up" ?
i just cant find logic in it.. i know i heard everybody said so.. but why ? is there any experimental explaination to it that can satify my hunger for knowing ?
So the coffee grounds is the new substrate correct??
Please explain how do you sterilize the Coffee Grounds
Pressure cook them
To be true this video shows how to put something you bought into the ground... as simple as that....
Ahhh so they aren't showing us how to get the coffee grounds and dirt and whatnot to get them to form. Whatever. Thanks for saving my time luv
interesting but there is a lot that your method and class needs for this technique. Although I have been looking for a way to grow oysters in a tub or garden setting, not sure if it is worth the trouble
Very informative, but in your haste to get this done you did not think to sterilize the box of coffee filters or the Oster mushroom garden box. If it came from the grocer it is full of dirt/germs.
not to mention the crap ion the air!
and she did do the box lol
she got trichodermia on her coffee grounds after this video I bet
OMG that was 5 years ago. I do 't even remember what this is. LOL
@@rosewood513 it's a video about growing oyster mushrooms from a grow kit but her methods are flawed and mainly her substrate
i sure love them mushroom.
This video was 5year old and 9 months and i am looking for the oyster mushroom fruits.
fruiting video uploaded on different channel: czcams.com/video/76Ry3jk95EU/video.html
Soo kind ❤️
good job
My gut feeling is that this failed to fruit.
cheese head obviously. If it _had_ worked, the video would have shown a nice bucket full of mushrooms.
I mean I am a complete novice and know next to nothing about growing mushrooms, but even I know that you have to have some airflow. The fact that they sealed it into an airtight container makes absolutely no sense
Many thanks, been searching for "mushroom plugs uk" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Heenyan Mushroom Organifiction - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got great success with it.
this isn't intended to fruit the mushrooms, just to get more mycelium. here's the fruiting video (uploaded on different channel): czcams.com/video/76Ry3jk95EU/video.html
@@MinekaC So you missed where they poked a bunch of holes for airflow and drainage in the top and bottom? Okay...
So how do you sterilize the coffee grounds ?
here's several things worth trying
select the top variety - there are many available.
grow them in the right environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and can be placed outside (I discovered these and the reasons they work from gregs mushroom grower website )
You would have to be friends with a coffee house to get that many grounds
have you made a video of it fruiting?
no this is the only vlog she has done lol
@@learningtolivewithhumans1859 the fruiting video was uploaded on a different channel: czcams.com/video/76Ry3jk95EU/video.html
@@will-ye thanks
excellent
muito bom ! ! ! obrigado por compartilhar suas experiências ! ! !
hi thank u for your tutorial....can i use sawdust instaed of coffee ground
sawdust better for Oyster Mushrooms than coffee grounds.
Use straw. Its works best for oyster mushroom
Do you and somme water at last?
Wheres thr fruting video?? 😀
select the top type - there are lots available.
grow them in the best conditions - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and may be put outside (I discovered these and the reasons they work from gregs mushroom grower site )
@@analazic1112 I have make a gimmick like that and I have harvested a lot of green mold.
it's uploaded on a different channel: czcams.com/video/76Ry3jk95EU/video.html
Nice view :)
how do you use coffee with micyliom as a grain?
❤
What is that 200 in coffee to get that much coffee grounds..to what grow how much in mushrooms?
I get my coffee grounds from a local cafe, and believe me, they have plenty and it's free.

HOW DO YOU STERILIZE THE COFFEE?
We store our used coffee grounds in the freezer which kills a lot of bacteria and spores, but once it thaws we use hydrogen peroxide. There are more details here: uwaterloo.ca/ecology-lab/oyster-mushroom-growing-escapade
thank you very much sonya!
here's several suggestions to try
pick the best type - there are lots available.
grow them in the right environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be placed outdoors
(I discovered these and why they work on Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
bolibicazul I just microwave it for 2-3 minutes.
I made it with woodprix handbooks !
Hi Sonya and team!
Very interesting! I was wondering before if that could be done. How much can you stretch que mycelium you buy into bigger substrates?
And another question, could you do the same with something else instead of coffee grounds? Would wood chips work?
Cheers! Keep it up!
Marta
+Marta Ricart Fincias Once you get mushrooms, you can harvest the spores, and use them to inoculate more substrate (coffee grounds, straw, sawdust, newspaper, cardboard, etc.); there are many ytube videos that will show you how. This one does not show you the results, and I suspect it was a failure.
The cool thing about growing mushrooms is that even after you get your fruiting bodies from your first box as long as the mycelium is alive you could repeat the process to divide the now much larger amount of mycelium (At that point the entire mass of coffee grounds would have a much more massive colony of it than the block you started out with.)

Theres better ways to grow Oyster mushrooms. Try straw logs because this what your doing is contamination city. Straw logs are far less likely to contaminate.
follow up video please :p
It's not many times im impressed but this video certainly caused me to think I need to ask - have you checked out the resource called gregs mushroom grower look for it on google
you going to break up the substrate before the next layer hun??? nope!!! good job! lol
it doesn't matter because there is a 2999999999999% chance she got trichodermia on her coffee grounds and it outcompeted the old Oyster mushroom mycelium
@@ThahnG413 nope, the fruiting video shows that it was successful: czcams.com/video/76Ry3jk95EU/video.html
99% certain she meant 'pasteurized' not 'sterilized'
I do not have lots of coffee grounds. Is there something I could use to mix with the coffee grounds to make them go further like... straw, wood shavings, shredded cardboard, sawdust?
I've done it with sterilized straw. Cheap and easy to get. I tried cardboard but it didn't do so well (chemicals in the paper I bet). Not sure about sawdust and wood shavings.
I started using a sawdust, straw, rice husk mixture since I posted in August. I just heat to 160F (core temp) for 90 minutes, no sterilization necessary.
Coffee grounds seem to cause contamination issues for me if used in any quantity.
@@jamesstewart1916 160F for 90F -is- sterilization/pasteurisation.
Where is the follow up?

monotub?
the filters that you use and break ;´( here in Mexico have a cost of 3000 pesos per package please don´t use lab filters i wanna cry jajaj regardsss
Perhaps just mix instead of making layers.
Empty of experience
is those mushroom really grow?
Probably not
That's a lot of coffee
Hey, cold and peroxyde dont kill spores and bacteria! Imagine every after-winter all fungi and bacteria colonazing the before frozen area! Heat over 120 celsius kill spores (use a pressure cooker!) and alcohol 70%
Sterilization (or sterilisation) is a term referring to any process that eliminates (removes) or kills all forms of life, including transmissible agents (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc.) present on a surface, contained in a fluid, in medication, or in a compound such as biological culture media.[1][2] Sterilization can be achieved by applying heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure, and filtration or combinations thereof. Sterilisation is difficult to achieve and in the case of making food safe is more accurately described as pasteurisation.............. I would prefer to use a pressure cooker or oven for this though..
Must be really cold in there huh
No offense, the set up look OK, but more need to be done. I don't think it is successful. Otherwise they won't have put up the second clip showing the fruits.
I bet this can out to be one big fuzzy green contaminated mess!!
So?
Where are the results???

"great" video on how to place things in a box. How come it has any likes at all?
Gabe Rivers if you don't grow mushrooms it's not really your thing
"Mycelium" is pronounced wrong. Trays are more convenient than deep tubs.
Yeah. Pronunciation is irrelevant, not everyone speaks the same, nor is there any one method of cultivating a species of fungi. Mycology is a science, a past-time, an art; any attempt of any kind to spread the knowledge of fungi cultivation is a great. Fungi are still quite misunderstood and largely under-researched. The estimated number of fungi species is in the millions with many still undiscovered. I thought this was a straightforward and well-made informational video.
this is aimed at preschoolers, I am out of here
why leave a comment then?
