I dont know what it is about fungi, but it is, hands down, the best hobby/passion i have ever gotten into. Growing them is just as much fun as identifying new species while out in the wild. Plus both goes hand in hand. Its just all around fascinating and rewarding. Also thanks for the insight of how you run stuff, always great to see and so much to learn.

I grow a number of varieties of mushrooms. This is what I use at home. First for temp I use my garage and pick strains that will grow well during different seasons. I have 3 shelves in a closet where I incubate grain and substrate and grow agar plates and liquid culture. In my garage I have a Small clear grow tent 3x 2.5 with small grow light at the top. small humidifier with humidity control to keep at around 90%. My garage doesn’t go to far below 50 during winter so lots grey dove oyster, black pearl oyster, chestnut, Enoki, piopino. In spring I can grow the same plus blue oyster, shiitake, Mai take. Summer golden oyster, pink oyster, shiitake, mai take. There are a lot of of mushrooms that will incubate and grow in room temps on a table with plastic bags for humidity. Just keep log of temp ranges for different mushrooms and you won’t need to heat or cool.

Mike, I began watching your videos about 3 weeks ago. I. Am. Hooked! Your easy going manner and your thorough explanations make your videos not only informative, but entertaining as well. In just 3 weeks I already have inoculated grain jars, agar plates filling beautifully with mycelium, all the goodies for substrate, and a boat load of other goods and equipment on the way. Thank you for all of the information and inspiration!

Beasting. This man got three of them. I just built my first flow hood. I need to keep stepping my game up

Man, your videos are much more useful than any others I have stumbled upon while researching this stuff. Thanks so much to you and anyone who helps filming and editing these.

Such invaluable insight into a successful Mushroom farm like this is so incredible. Thank you for sharing your procedures and knowledge. For a visual learner like myself, your videos seemed to have been some of the most rewarding for me in learning to begin cultivating my own Gourmet and Medicinal mushrooms!!

Love the video super informative. Was wondering if you use a low pressure/no pressure sterilization drum similar to the one for fruiting blocks for grain spawn. Just watched your video on sterilization and got the answer to my question. Thanks for all the great info

Nice I been waiting on liquid culture videos

Great Videos!

I learned folding bags watching your vids.

That’s a great tip. If ya got a flow hood you can just pour liquid culture and that way you save a needle or two.

I wish i could work with you for a whole year and then come back to my country and properly start a business with all the knowledge

You know you're in a sterile environment when you can just dump liquid culture straight from the jar. No syringe, no still air box lol. Love it. And honestly, thank you for sharing with us 👍really learning alot from this channel!

Use millet. Get water to boiling, dump millet in there, take the heat off, leave it sit for at least an hour. After that strain the grain and put it in jars or bags. Then PC it as usual and rest of the process continues.

Is there a cheaper way to seal grain and sawdust bags?

Bob Ross of Mushroom cultivation.

Hello! Please tell me what size, bag for mycelium and substrate, and how many microns. Thank!

@jordanmercier3616

3 жыл бұрын

Grain spawn you should use the .2 micron, substrate .5 micron. You can use the .5 micron for both though, I preseal my grain bags with the .5 micron filters and pressure cook them sealed. Everyone is going to tell you it won't work, but it does lol, just make sure you tightly pack your PC if they have room to expand upon cooling the bags can explode. I have a loading technique for my PCs and I never have bags pop anymore.

Question...my liquid culture medium ( LME, Karo or honey) comes out of pressure cooker clean and clear. After I inoculate they tend to get cloudy. Contamination, bad culture or normal colonization?

2:54 "This method that I use now really doesn't take any planning" Alright then, keep your secrets!

What brand impulse sealer you use?

What level is your impulse sealer set to? All the way up, and mine melts straight through the plastic. What keeps happening to me when I lower it, is I seal it for 25 seconds, at 5 out of maximum (I think 7 or 8) and then when I open the impulse sealer off the presumably sealed bag, one small part of the otherwise perfectly sealed bag has stuck to the silicon element and ripped slightly, causing me to have to seal a corner of the bag again. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is it possible that I damaged my silicon element with melted plastic and need to replace it? And yeah to reiterate, what level is your bag sealer set to?

What kind of bags do you use?

Does anyone know how long grain spawn can be stored for after it is fully colonized. If someone were to make multiple jars of grain spawn at the same time, after the 14 days it takes to colonize, can they be stored for a while before they're added to sawdust?

@jordanmercier3616

3 жыл бұрын

They can be stored at room temp for a couple weeks, it will effect the yield though.

Do you need a bulk substrate? Or can they fruit from pure grain?

@jordanmercier3616

3 жыл бұрын

You can fruit from grain, the bulk substrate does have a nutritious element to it, but its mainly to hold a lot of moisture and it's cheaper than grain spawn. Mushrooms are 90% water so a substrate without a lot of water won't produce as good of a yield.

Does mycelium ever really die?

If you put spores in a liquid culture will different types of mycelium form?

@kicknadeadcat

2 жыл бұрын

Spores are usually contaminated with bacteria. Spores should put into sterilized water then sucked into a syringe and smear a couple of drops on agar plate. Different colonies will form. Some may be contamination. You then can take a tiny piece of the healthiest looking mycelium colony and put it in liquid culture. It’s the only way to be sure. And the mycelium will have different phenotypes but will all be the same strain.

@jordanmercier3616

3 жыл бұрын

The LC goes into grain spawn first, then substrate, you can use as little as 1 ml for a 5lb bag of spawn, but the more LC the faster the colonization will be, I wouldn't go more than 10ml in a 5lb bag.
