Harvesting Mature Portobello Mushrooms and Spore Printing

These portobello mushrooms grew pretty big! I was able to get some spores from the caps so I can save them to grow in the future.

Thanks for the video! When you have the opportunity, please make a video of the extractor hood with a single stream. Appearance and dimensions in centimeters. I use SAB, but I want to make a hood like yours. I think many people will be interested...

I don’t care for eating mushrooms but love the flavor it adds to my sauce so I quarter two mature portobello mushrooms so I can pick it out and the mushroom lovers of the house don’t mind it at all!

That’s a great way to incorporate the flavor without the texture! Thats for the comment! 🍄‍🟫

I put the stipes of shiitake (which are usually considered to be too tough to eat) in the blender and get the flavor.

Did you build that spore print chamber or do you have a link for purchase? Thanks

[@SporenSprout]

I think I got mine at Walmart. Any plastic container works

Why are white button mushrooms sometimes much larger than small brown cremini?
Were the portobello we see here white button mushrooms earlier?

[@SporenSprout]

That’s a good question, I am not quite sure why but portobello, crimini, white button are all the same exact species. White button is supposed to be the small size of the mushroom and they become brown with age to become portobello looking. It’s odd because the mushrooms I grew were brown even when very small so I’m not sure, I will have to clone white buttons next to see if the buttons are indeed white, then it would have something to do with a trait of the strain causing more whiteness.

@@SporenSprout Thanks for the reply.

[@ZCRAIZED1]

I had wondered this same thing myself.

[@dbdba]

Toxic or not?

[@SporenSprout]

Not if they are cooked
