Just had a thought...I`m guessing that Australian customs will want to keep my mushroom kits in Australia, so if the winner is from outside Australia, I`ll find a nice bonus prize for you ;-)

KZread will show people my channel when they are ready 😂😂😂😂. Welcome. Glad we found you finally 💜

Competition is over and we have a winner. Watch the next episode to find out how many it was! Heads up mushroom growers! I say "mushroom spores" every time I should have said "Mushroom spawn". For those interested in correct terms, and the purpose of propper words, this is for you: Mushroom spawn and mushroom spores are two different stages in the life cycle of a mushroom, and they serve different purposes in the cultivation of mushrooms. Here's a breakdown of the differences between them: Definition: Mushroom Spawn: Mushroom spawn refers to a substrate that has been inoculated with mushroom mycelium, which is the vegetative part of the fungus. Spawn acts as the starting point for mushroom cultivation, providing the mycelium with a nutrient-rich environment to grow and develop. Mushroom Spores: Mushroom spores are tiny reproductive structures produced by mature mushrooms. They are released into the environment and can serve as the means of reproducing the mushroom species. Spores are often used to create new strains or varieties of mushrooms. Purpose: Mushroom Spawn: Spawn is used to establish and propagate a specific strain or variety of mushroom. It provides a controlled and consistent source of mycelium for inoculating a growing medium (such as substrate or logs) to cultivate mushrooms. Mushroom Spores: Spores are used primarily for the reproduction and propagation of mushroom species in a more natural, diverse, or experimental way. They can be used to create spore prints, which are used to study the morphology of the spores and to create new mycelium cultures. Size and Visibility: Mushroom Spawn: Spawn is typically more visible and tangible than spores. It consists of mycelium-infused substrate, which can be seen as a white, web-like network within the substrate. Mushroom Spores: Spores are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye. They are released by mature mushrooms and can be collected on various surfaces, such as paper, to create spore prints. Cultivation Process: Mushroom Spawn: To cultivate mushrooms using spawn, you typically mix the spawn with a suitable growing medium (e.g., compost, straw, wood chips) to create favorable conditions for mushroom growth. The mycelium from the spawn colonizes the growing medium and eventually produces mushrooms. Mushroom Spores: Cultivating mushrooms from spores is more involved and requires additional steps. Spores are used to create a spore syringe or spore print, which is then used to inoculate a sterile substrate. The mycelium must grow from the spores before mushrooms can be produced. In summary, mushroom spawn is a more advanced and convenient way to cultivate specific mushroom varieties, as it provides established mycelium for inoculation. Mushroom spores, on the other hand, are primarily used for research, breeding, or for growing mushrooms in a more natural or experimental context, but they require more steps and patience to develop into mature mushrooms.

40 times 🍄. Always great. My wife and I love watching your videos in the morning with our coffee.

Weedy, I have enjoyed watching your videos for a few years now. My favorite was the one you labored all day to create a romantic evening for your wife. It showed the rest of us how much you love, respect, and appreciate her. That, my friend, is the most valuable gift; more valuable than the most exspensive jewelry and lavish vacation in some exotic place on our planet. I love watching and learning your techniques and your explanation of the science behind them.

I was not keen on friendly bugs or worms (100 % gardening with gloves) but you made me want to vermicompost and keep bees; I loved rain in my garden but not on me while gardening, and you made me enjoy feeling that cooling rain and squelching in the mud, now you are making me want to go and study all the fungus growing....Weedy Magic! Thanks for another lesson.

Perfect timing as I just bought my second grow kit and spawns ❤. Great video as usual David. Love from California mate.

What an amazing video! I think the best I have seen and we love mushrooms!

Super cool. I love your content and I’ve been wanting to learn to grow my own shrooms. Thanks for your video. I watched it three times so I could get the number of times you said mushroom/s. I counted 41. Great video. Can’t wait to see the updates.

I got 41 times of mushroom / mushrooms, and I've got some spare short gum tree logs, and some still connected, but dying gum (big) branches in my little little back yard and now can think of the perfect use for them! Love your channel.

42 times you said mushroom. I follow you on multiple platforms since day one. Love the garden, love the vibe and please keep up the amazing work you do! Thank you for sharing my friend. Cheers

Pretty cool to have warm weather all year round like that.

Thanks WEEDY.... I am there with U since the very inception.... Love you and all the best.

Heck yea!! I’ve always wanted to learn to grow mushrooms. I just got my fall plants going so I’ll start researching in learning hood to gross mushrooms during the fall and then BBS ready to go next spring. Thank you my friend. Love the videos. Keep em coming.

Another wonderful informative video. I am going to order a couple of kits for my garden. I have never thought of growing mushrooms until watching this. Your wisdom and ideas David are in so many of our gardens all around the world.

Bloody good onya mate. Love ya work! ❤

44 times Weedy 🤞Another wonderful video as always, thanks 😀

Weedy, this is third video I watch on your channel and its beautiful! Your taste of music, lifestyle and your personality. The love in what you are doing, in every little detail. Even when you add echo effect on your voice (haha I am an editor as well) also brings some kinda of home atmosphere. Your channel really makes me relax, even being in another country for many years and not seeing my friends and family from Ukraine, this channel and your soul in it makes me feel a little bit like I am at home. This is not just the video of how to grow your own mushrooms, its the whole philosophy of life. I subscribed your channel in the first 3 minutes. Thanks mate for sharing this! Hopefully one day I will visit Australia and see all of it personally! Good luck and have a great day!

Wow that was a truly beautiful and inspiring video and what an incredible set up you have created as a personal paradise. The trailer was amazing too! I'm stuck in a urban environment with no garden but am lucky enough to back onto woodland from my lounge, where I feed Foxes and Badgers and a Squirrel army. I've just taken up indoor Mushroom growing and hopefully microgreens later to couple with such, so am crafting the best Mushroom environments for happy shrooms ahead. There are two dead tree stumps out my window just itching for dowel spawning too lol Something tells me I should feed my critters, kick back with a cool drink and fire up your full movie! It'll make a nice autumn evening watching your incredible "covid" permaculture journey! Greetings from PanSporeA in UK ;)

Thanks Weedy for this great video simplifying mushroom growing! I've always wanted to know this. I'm not too geographically far from you, also very slowly starting my permaculture patch up in midcoast NSW. I think you said Mushroom(s) 40 TIMES. Would love a kit to try it out! Also couple of ideas: (1) there might be an opportunity to try either a 80watt UV-C lamp or 12v Ozone O3 generator (about AU$120), run for 2 to 4hrs or longer in an enclosed space for wood chips/logs etc, which would Fully Sterilise them. I use them to kill mould and damp smells in all corners of the house and furniture, about once every 1 or 2 months when heavily humid/damp, while we have exited the house ofcourse. Works a Charm! So Ozone, may help scale up production surplus. I've also successfully used O3 to clean/filter rancid brown ditch water, with O3 + lime + sand + charcoal, to a drinking potable standard. Easier than we might think. O3 is pretty powerful and can be run off a solar panel. (2) could we use beeswax instead, to cover the mushroom spawn plugs? Fantastic video, thanks again!
