I can hear your Rooster crowing there in the background, something we rarely hear today unfortunately..everything you do seems like such a pleasure to you, you seem so content with life..Best wishes to you.

As a beekeeper we generally advise melting beeswax in a double boiler because it’s so flammable. You could take the pan of hot water out too- keep the wax melted longer. I think you’ve inspired me to grow mushrooms again.

@@MossyBottom we used a washed out can to sit in the pan of boiling water, don’t need to clean out can after, just let wax cool and store for next time. Best to not have a can that is lined with plastic or to melt out the plastic first.

What about just lighting the candle and dripping the wax into the holes? You may have to use a sponge to cover the ends and wounds, though.

So you used to grow mushrooms! Do you have any other tips about this video?

My dad has wanted me to do this for years. He even had handwritten instructions he gave me. He is sadly passed on now and I never did attempt to grow mushrooms for him. Maybe now is the time. He said to soak the oak logs in my pond for several days beforehand. I'm not sure why. He also told me to feed my chickens ginseng seeds, fish them out of their droppings, and then plant them. He said going through a chicken makes the seeds much more potent. Probably something he learned from his Appalachian kin. Suffice to say, I don't see myself doing that. Oh heck, maybe I would... what is life but a weird adventure. ☘

Yes make sure to give us a mushroom update!!

I just bought a mushroom kit. Nothing like what you have just done but I wanted it for the novelty of growing my own. Love your vids but your animals did their best to distract me 😆

Interesting. This possibility had literally never crossed my mind... Nice to get the surprise of brand new information. Thank you.

I was just wondering how the process of growing mushrooms in my garden would work. This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing, Daniel!

I would love to see more foraging vids.

I did this as a complete novice years ago and had years of huge, delicious shitakes. You should get enough to sell from all these logs and it’s an easy income to supplement other things you want to do.

As someone else has noted, you really should melt the wax in a pan sitting in water. Less fire danger and it won't smoke you out. But I'm wondering if you couldn't just light the candle and drip it onto your holes. ? The farm is looking really good there in the background. You've accomplished a LOT !

Dripping the wax into the holes does work, but it's very slow, and with so many hundreds of holes to seal I opted for the quicker method. You want several layers of wax per hole, so dabbing it on with a sponge is much more efficient.

@@MossyBottom Thanks. That makes sense. 🙂

Very interesting. Can't wait to see how it goes! How strange that it takes so long to form mushrooms! And that they can go on for years on the same log. Wow.

Excellent video and yes please more mushroom growing videos please mate! Cheers from London 👍

Thanks for making such nice videos ! Very relaxing and interesting

I love the name of this video. It reads like, "All you need in life is Gourmet Mushrooms". It's a lovely idea. If only. xx

I live in the Leitrim/Sligo and I have never seen those red mushrooms in my life! 🤯

I've been following you for over a year, thoroughly enjoyed every video you made, some of them I repeatly watched again and again, they made my heart sing, thank you. I've been trying to make my partner sit and watch it with me! You inspired me so much, I have start making my own plans!

The legend is back more videos buddy

Your video has reminded me of a time, probably in the 1960s, in Dublin when my father cleared out the coal house, which was part of our suburban home to grow mushrooms in horse manure in it's dark interior with some success. Good luck with your undertaking.

You are such an excellent presenter. Thank you for sharing your life with us

Good luck with your future fungal endeavors! Foraging can be fun, but mushroom cultivation is an amazingly rewarding practice.

Shiitake are very good for kidney and liver function. My favorite mushroom besides the lowly field mushroom. Good luck with it!

I had a large load of mixed wood chips delivered for my yard. Now I have a fabulous crop of wine cap mushrooms in damp weather here in Michigan. They pop up in the mulch and in the beds in unpredictable places. These are a choice mushroom. Just luck. Didn't even try to grow them. Good luck with yours!

We live in the Netherlands, so we share the moisture and cloud cover, but we don't have a piece of land. Instead, we have our 'mushroom farm' in a hidden spot in a close by forest. Having elder, as I think I remember you saying, cultivating wood ear is as simple as staking elder branches on top of each other. And you'll have a year-round supply, although here, the summer yield was only for the maggots. Not flavourful, but a versatile mushroom to add to anything, from salads to stir-fry, pies, pasta...

Ooh, yes, I'd like to see more on the process. It's really fascinating. My Self Reliance is doing it too in a pretty different climate. It will be fun to see them grow and the difference in the various log types and mushroom species.

Wow, thank you, I jut got a photo from a fungi friend in Switzerland who started cultivating them a few years ago, she inspired me to try it too, and now YT recommended your video.

Such a fun guy! Looking forward to seeing the bountiful harvest x

You should look into cultivating mushrooms indoors. Extremely rewarding practice and easily sustainable.

Totally cool! Thank you!

Could you do some tour of your surroundings? Or other places in Ireland?

You radiate so much peace, so precious:-)

THAT was interesting! Thanks 4 sharing. I don't know of anyone to whom I have ever wished that; May your fungi be plentiful! God Bless you Daniel and Moss!

Thank you.

Great video, Daniel!!

Daniel, you'd like the recently published book 'Entangled Life' by Merlin Sheldrake. Fascinating!

looking forward to seeing the progress

Superb! Really looking forward to your updates on this project.

Lovely video; a pleasure to watch.

Looking forward to seeing them grow.

Yep I'm going to try this! Well done.

I think your logs will produce well. We inoculated a few and made every mistake in the book, and still got harvests and they continue. Best wishes and God bless!

Great vid as always! Love your style. But: I want more Moss! And: You have kittens for god's sake, show them, this is the Internet, remember?

This has just inspired me to give this a go! Great video

You’ve inspired me! I might try growing some. Would love to see more shroom videos

This is brilliant, I live in the west also and have been experimenting myself, your information is so useful, thank you 💚

Absolutely fabulous! I'm so into mushrooms. Yes please... More x

Love your beautiful working 🌸👍🏻

If he finishes his house next year, they were magic mushrooms.

I was your 70,000th subscriber 🎉🥳🎊

This was so interesting to watch! As was your original mushroom foraging video. Really looking forward to an update on how these turn out and for your future plans for other types of harvests. Good luck and I hope they give you a good yield soon!

Really interesting 👍 looking forward to seeing the results 🤞🤞

Thank you for the video. Best of luck with the mushrooms ! And, please, keep us updated with any progress.

Thanks Daniel! I have been contemplating this as a future income source. I appreciate the straightforward tutorial.

Well done. I love your vids

The scarlet elf caps are beautiful

I'm excited to see them sprout.. Greetings from Phillippines!

Thank you for another well made and informative video.

Ahh thank you so much for doing this, I really wanted to grow mushrooms and like yourself do a bit of foraging for them, but everytime I tried to read up on it, it over whelmed me. Your method seems easy enough to do, definitely going to give it a go 😊👍

mushroom videos sound like a good idea

I've thought about cultivating mushrooms, and I have been harvesting wild mushrooms for years. But this video has inspired me. Cutting some logs this weekend!

Very interesting well done for giving mushroom growing a try.We will watch in anticipation on how things turn out.Very tempted to give this a try.Thanks for your inspiring video s

This is amazing, I didn't know you could actually make mushrooms grow!

Great video you may want to try growing wine cap mushrooms....they easily grow on hardwood sawdust spread on the ground. It would be much less labour intensive also. The excess mushrooms would be another great addition to your offerings to the public.

Thank you for the video! Very interesting! I have never grown mushrooms. I look forward to seeing how this happens. Thanks again! Have a great day!

Mushroom foraging is another one of my passions ,i.ve got two lovely foraging baskets for my birthday last week . I will definitely try the log thing but start it next year i have the perfect shady area in my garden plus i'm all organic no chemicals at all . Yes please to the more mushroom videos .🍄🍄🍄🍄💖💕😁

Definitely more mushroom videos please 😊

I would love to do this one day. Will be looking forward to hearing how this turned out.

You’re somewhat better than many experts out there 😁

So very 😎. I'm just beginning with Shitake cultivation!

Very informative and I hope you have a bumper crop in the fall. As for me, I'll continue to buy them at the supermarket.

Saudades dos seus vídeos. Que bom esse novo.

You explain so so so well, nice, clear, honest, and truthful 😁 I have been trying to grow mushroom but now luck. I live in California. Maybe i’s the dry and hot weather lots of the time? I bought the mushroom from the supermarket, cut it into pieces then left it in a bag of soil with little bit of water to keep it moist. It’s like a mulch in the bag 😀

so impressed! I've always been interested in harvesting mushrooms...good call! enjoyed watching :)

Talk about synchronicity! I've just been talking about doing this. Will be interesting to see your results!

Fascinating...my family in France still go foraging for capes in the Southern part of France...I live in Australia and this practice doesn't seem to exist as much...anyway I live in the subtropics so growing mushrooms doesn't seem the thing to do...thank you for being such a great teacher...

Absolutely fascinating, I’ve wanted to grow mushrooms for many years but didn’t know where to start. Here in Cornwall we also have that ‘damp’ weather too 🥴🤣 so like you it should be perfect! Please do give us an update 🙏🏼

Mushrooms are good for you, especially the mighty maitake.

Am excited to see you mycological journey progress.... I've been interested in fungi for several years, now. Just bought my 1st copy of Mushrooms, by Roger Phillips. The Bible, seriously recommended reference.

Hi. Thanks for this video. I would find it helpful to have an EASY way to know which wild mushrooms are safe to eat - so maybe not covering every variety, but a few characteristics of all mushrooms that are safe to eat (for foraging purposes). Thank you for your interesting videos.

Thank you Sir. You deserve respect and ovation. I was away from my home town for 14 years, for the sake of studies, followed by Job and other responsibilities. I never got time to look after anything except my studies and work. Now thankfully we are working from home and it has been almost a year like that. I went back to my home town and unlike flats and a nano balcony system, I am blessed with garden. I planted several fruit trees like Apple, plum, peach, apricot and pear. The pear plant has already started blooming flowers since spring has started kicking-in after a long period of chilly cold weather. I also planted different varieties of flowers and every flower bed has been enclosed or bordered with an array of round small boulders painted in dark brown color in a collinear 180 degrees angle which compliments the ground on which it stands as well as the background. I have encircled every fruit tree with a circle of round boulders and it looks really beautiful. It's so addictive and so healthy for a brain to be calm. It keeps negative energy off bay. Thanks to God Alhumdulliah Alhumdulliah Sir, any suggestions or advices that you would want to share with me? I would genuinely want to be humbled and enlightened by an expert.

Really enjoyed this update on mushrooms. I recall a woman from my childhood who couldn't wait for Blewits to arrive in the local market shops. She would boil them creating a mini feast. Understand Blewits are wild mushrooms and hard to grow.

Would love more mushroom videos!

Wishing you luck with this project, I admire your optimism too! I'm a novice gardener but fungi is very much within my interests, I must think of a way to adapt this method for the cooler zones of southern Australia. Keep up the informative videos! :D

Shroomies are amazing and I'd love to see you try out most of the options you can.

While I have no interest in growing mushrooms, I do enjoy your videos and find them informational and entertaining. Thank you . Susan, Las Vegas, NV

Excellent! I am attempting to grow mushrooms this year, I bought some barley spawn and will see what actually comes up...

Hi Daniel, i know this is the wrong video but just wanted to add some comments, slug control, wood burning ash from your fire after they have cooled put around the base of the plant. Slugs do not like to go over the ash it will burn their soft tissue so they avoid the area. This also adds nutrients to your garden. Another point is that if you want to start to do more presearving look for the book published in 1973 called "Putting Food By" written by Ruth Hertzberg, Beatrice Vaughan and Janet Greene, published by Bantom Books in the US. I noticed Amazon carries it now. This book uses most natural ingreadients that would have been used many years ago. Some of the ingreadients may not still be readily available. Thank you for your videos they have been well published. I come from the bread basket of Canada, the province of Ontario. My grandparents did imigrate to Canada in their youth from Ireland so i still have relatives in Belfast with greenhouses. Keep it going very great to see your progress.

Omg, so cool 👍👍👍

Really interesting video, thank you. It must be 20 odd years since I tried to grow mushrooms on straw bales (without success, I might add, hehe). I love your approach though and wish you every success 🍄🍄😊

I'm a bit late to the party here , but I'd like to say shrooms are very interesting organisms , i started growing my own oysters a month ago and I'm hooked , they are easy food to grow ! I like the life you have shoes to take and i am myself on my way off that road too pretty soon. Cheers from France .

Wow..so interesting. Hope it works.

In BC Canada, Oyster mushrooms like fallen Alder logs.
