OH MY Word Heather!! Gorgeous!
AWESOME video. Very Abundant harvest.
Thank you!!
Those mushrooms turned out so big and they look delicious. Now I want to grow some.
Highly recommend doing so! ♥
Wow, those mushrooms look amazing! Super exciting to hear you can get multiple harvests out of a block too. Can't wait to see how all of the other mushroom varieties turn out. Love the thumbnail as well, you look super happy with that huge mushroom haul hehehe. 💚🍄💚
I am VERY happy about the mushroom haul! The first of many I'm sure! ♥
This literally might be the coolest thing I've ever seen!! Man, I wish my hubby wasn't allergic to them! Forgot to mention how beautiful they are!
The allergy is such a bummer!
Oh wow your mushroom harvest is wonderful!
Thank you!
TY! I am so excited about this video and about your Harvest. Cannot wait to try this.
I'm definitely going to be emailing him soon! We're starting our homestead up, starting with our chickens and meat rabbits and I'm so excited!
Also I love your channel, you're awesome keep it up!! ❤
Thanks so much!
Wow 😮
You can powder the mushrooms in a blender and use the powder to thicken and add a wonderful flavor to soups and stews. And then the powder takes up much less space and it really concentrates the flavor.
Wow that’s so cool! I sent this to Megan because I think she’d love to see it.
Fun stuff!
AWESOME!
I've thought about growing mushrooms but never researched it. You did an awesome job. Those mushrooms look incredible! Congrats on a great harvest and all your preservation! I'll be watching for more info. Happy New Year Heather!
Happy new year!!
You have given me hope! ❤️ Thank you!
I'm so glad! ♥
Thank you for sharing! I’d love to try this!
Mushrooms are so amazing to me. Have you seen Fantastic Fungi? It’s such a beautiful and interesting documentary. Hope you have been enjoying family time 🙃
I need to find that and put it on for a school lesson! Thank you!
This is awesome, Heather! How did I miss you were growing mushrooms? This is a skill I hope to move into over the next year. Stunning work for your first go round!
Hey there!! It was a video in the middle of vlogmas which is a really busy time for many! I am so excited about this new adventure! ❤️🍄
Wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's awesome!
Thank you!! 😁
Heather that is amazing !!
Thank you!! I'm SO excited about this!
Nice!😊
Thanks! 😄
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That was an amazing harvest!!!! Thank you for sharing the process with us!! Your picture of your dinner was worthy of a magazine!!!❤ Stay safe!!🙏
That meal looked so delicious!! I love mushrooms in omelettes, I can’t imagine how delicious fresh and those higher quality mushroom would taste.
Hope your break is going well and restful.
It's so hard to describe! Lovely flavor and texture! Totally worth growing!
Wow Heather, how awesome was that!!!!! ❤❤
Salam spora 😎
very nice!😊
Thank you! 😊
WOW!!!! How amazing! Ok, that looks like something I would love to try!
Anthony is making more blocks for me so I can try some new (to me) varieties! Email him! smgsurrency@gmail.com
I agree about full sun being a problem. Here in NM with no trees or shade...yep a problem. I am so excited about your success! I reached out to Druidry Farms when you first received your mushrooms. I was waiting to see your results. I'm ready!
They are definitely growing a second flush too, highly recommend! I just ordered more varieties, the price REALLY is worth it especially when you can use a block multiple times and know you're eating the freshest and most nutritious food possible ♥
I am so excited but a little nervous. I will be doing them indoors. Yes! It seems totally worth it!
fantastic!.. I just ordered some blocks.. I've been wanting to grow mushrooms. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
Did you order through me or someone else?
Wow that’s amazing. It’s true!!!! You just got those started and look what you have harvested. Really impressive. As always, great job Heather.
Thanks! Everything went a lot easier and faster than I expected
Morning Beautiful Lady
Just an idea, maybe make some mushroom powder? 😊
That’s awesome! We love mushrooms. We forage for wild mushrooms - chanterelles are my favorite. But we def want to try growing some, as well as trying to inoculate logs!
I'd like to inoculate some logs too!
Make your own powdered/freeze dried cream of mushroom soups, for dinner meals.
Great idea!
Wow! That was really fast! They look really good, I sure wish I liked mushrooms :/
Awe me too! We love them.
If you've only had button mushrooms from the store, there's no comparison. Like McDonald's vs a ribeye
@@anthonysurrency7134 It's a texture thing. I do use cream of mushroom soup in meals, though. I still get the heebee jeebees if I bite into a big enough piece! 😵💫
Edited to add: My husband likes mushrooms, so I could still have the fun of growing some and having fresh ones for him!
What an abundant first harvest! And to potentially get several harvests from the same blocks is a wonderful! I'm curious if adding additional growing medium would add available "real estate" for the mycellium, thereby perpetuating not only additional harvests, but also broadening their production. It is a question I will pose to Anthony very soon. Also - you can make a powder from freeze-dried mushrooms (preferrably ones with a deep flavor) to use as part of a seasoning blend. We make homemade ranch dressing/dip mix and powdered mushroom is a key "secret ingredient". It adds a depth of flavor to the dressing/sauce/dip that is noticably "missing something" if omitted.
YES! I have a plan to make some fermented umami mushroom sauce and in my recipe book it talks about dehydrating the solids used to make the sauce and creating a wonderful spice from it!
Many people expand their blocks by adding them to straw in clothes baskets, or by doing the buckets. Theoretically you can keep expanding until competitors overtake it
привет моя дорогая! уважаю твой труд и желаю тебе самого лучшего!
Привет! Большое спасибо! Я рад, что ты здесь!
Good morning Heather. Those mushrooms look amazing. How were your omelettes? ❤❤❤
The dish we made was amazing!!! It was fast and easy and totally of the farm which I love ♥
Powder the DRIED mushrooms
The mushrooms look amazing. We have only eaten the White Button mushrooms. I like when they are opened up. They have more flavour. I have had Chinese mushrooms. Nothing like yours. It is amazing what you can do with mushrooms these days,
Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
That is an awesome yield. I would love to try it out. However I would have to can mine. I don’t have a freeze dryer. It’s on my list though. I will definitely have to try this out.
Yeah that's a great option as well. I actually love the texture of canned mushrooms especially for pasta and pizza. ♥ maybe I'll can a batch soon!
Those mushrooms looked amazing! They were huge & grew so quickly!! I'm excited to watch the progress of all the different kinds. If you were to let 1 of those 'bunches' ripen & produce spores would you be able to keep raising them indefinitely? Beyond foraging & eating the Morels that grow here in the spring, I know nothing about them. This is exciting!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! Happy New Year & God bless!
I THINK that's how it works but I'm not sure how it's technically done. I think the companies that provide kits like this do a lot under sterile and exact conditions to make sure there isn't contamination. But also the wine caps in the raised beds should in theory be able to repopulate fine if and when I leave some to mature and drop spores! I am going to crumble the spent blocks into the raised bed when they are done and it would not surprise me to see oyster mushrooms in the garden too!!
So it technically can happen that way but it is very unlikely. The best way to spread the mushrooms is to put live mycelium to fresh substrate, or to develop a culture
@@anthonysurrency7134 it's definitely worth getting fresh stuff annually if that's the case! So picking all the mushrooms this spring is probably fine if they are unlikely to spread by spores?
@@SageandStoneHomestead yes. Eventually you will need to let the winecaps go to spore to allow new genetics, but it should be fine for a long time if you keep feeding it. And you can spread it by digging some up and adding to a different spot
@@anthonysurrency7134 awesome thank you. We get a lot of hardwood mulch every spring and will have lots to feed the mushrooms!🍄
I created a wine cap bed last year and omgosh! The production is phenomenal!!! When you harvest, and accidentally pull up any mycelium, bury it elsewhere around the property and you'll have perpetual wine caps forever.
SO excited about the prospect of that! Thank you!!
Omg! I can’t believe how many mushrooms you grew! Wow! Great video!
Yeah ant the same blocks are at it again just with another period of soaking in fresh water! This is incredible!
Oh wow😮 what a wonderful job you did. They look beautiful. If the stems are tough I’d freezedry/dehydrate and make a mushroom powder for umami in dishes. Awesome job Heather. Loved the video. Much love and blessings.
I just can’t believe all the things you do! You really are amazing! I love mushrooms! As we have brought more and more woodchips into our garden we have seen more and more mushrooms and fungi develop to decompose them. It’s gets me thinking we should be more deliberate about the spores we encourage. This is awesome.
I agree! Hardwood mulch seems to be the best for them!
This is a totally random side question: Are you still going to put collars and bells on your dairy herd? I plan on doing that myself. Also so sorry for your loss with Calamity ♥️
I had collars with beepers on the babies while they were young and not keeping up with the herd well. It definitely saved one life while doing that this fall! But the collars come off when not needed. If you see a collar on a goat in the herd they are probably active milkers or hard to catch 😊
Very cool! I don’t have a freeze dryer and I can’t eat 7 lbs of mushrooms, I guess I could stagger the packets if each one puts off that many mushrooms? Have you ever just dried mushrooms in a low oven?
I've never done that but I imagine it could work! Someone also mentioned canning them!
We've been dehydrating them and they turn out fine, but I am looking forward to freeze drying them moving forward
Anything that ends up too hard you could powder for seasoning!
YES! Nothing was hard here and the trimmings I put in the garden but that's a great option. I have a recipe in my Fermenting book for an Umami sauce that uses mushrooms, ginger, seaweed and tamarind paste. You strain the solids after 3 weeks and have your sauce, but then the book says you can dry those solids and make a seasoning from them! Winning! (This may have been a preview of one of a video to come!) :)
@@SageandStoneHomestead yeah, that sounds like a winning sauce!
Hi there! Nice video! How did you can the mushrooms? What is the machine with which you close the lid?
I have a vacuum sealer with a jar attachment! As long as the contents are super dry they last a very long time sealed up like that. I looked online and there are versions that don't need a separate machine to attach to, but this is the attachment we have: www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FCARWJAH-000-Wide-Mouth-Regular-Accessory/dp/B016OL1AB6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=36U63621OZJ5G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tTp6EDfXWySHuvDsrLOJGRKEQhaRFJx1sYX1xL_fmjFDEqijC4uLFh15CYiKpgddzk-5h5NiCKafY06HeQLO_ebeVDpRpEYyaek5vxswteJ8xZ1nvtWdBGsBDbk1TfKL9Frs58-DBXiWUBv6l8oVvLTWJ2ARuBkiYldjUK_kOUgcmxjgdFa_j9CLx0LmcP6EYwCnVBQeZMzKR_yAFeN-AxchLIIecOH56Zug31CMics.VgIu-0ukNa3luAPwx7fdTQenCCCKfF0TXTAKhOYYLHA&dib_tag=se&keywords=vacuum+sealer+jar+attachment&qid=1713792971&sprefix=vaccuum+sealer+jar+at%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-3
I used to know someone in Michigan that was able to grow their own morels, I bet you can adapt a grow block to morels.
Morels are something that's still being perfected in the west. The Chinese have figured out a reliable way to grow them, but they aren't sharing much information
@@anthonysurrency7134 They grow wild all over the place in Michigan, I've been morel foraging a bunch of times and this was like 32 years ago.
We do have some Elms on our farm and hear that they like to grow at the base of elm trees. Hoping to scatter some spores by the pond!
@@michaelsasylum morel mushrooms are what's called mycorrhizal, meaning they grow in symbiosis with plant species and they need certain ones to be able to make mushrooms, otherwise you'll just have a bunch of mycelium and no mushrooms. But, you can blend up the fruits into a slurry and spread it around where host species are present and in turn increase yearly yields
@@SageandStoneHomestead Did not know that, could be why you gotta go far and wide to get a decent haul while foraging. Perhaps elm chips are a key to growing them.
Make broth out of the discards
Great idea! I shoved the ends I cut off into the garden :)
You are great. Im now also making Gouda Cheese 🧀 from scratch among gardening and fermenting etc. so awesome GOD Bless you and your family in this new year!!!!!!!
Oh yum!!
The mushroom meal looked delicious. Love your channel. Does he have a website or only a email account to contact him through? Thank you
I typically work through Facebook, Instagram, and email but we are making a website, it's just not as easy as it was made out to be
Websites are NOT easy. But that's him up above!
This looks amazing - I wonder if we can find a local Canadian producer ....
I'm sure you can!!
What the fungus is in Canada
LOL What a funny name!
how long did you soak your blue oyster mushroom blocks for? Was it cold or warm water?
Room temp water for 3 hours :)
