Thank you for mentioning about yellow oyster mushrooms potentially being an invasive species in North America. I always try to be conscious about that with plants, but haven’t heard or read anything else about the issue with mushrooms before.

4:47 ah that’s why my block went rancid! I killed it by putting it in the fridge.

Watch out! I grew king oysters from a kit 8 months ago, now I have 2 buckets of kings fruiting and 12 logs with 6 different strains growing (I hope) in the garden... It's addictive

I just started growing a few months ago, and went all out, making liquid cultures, grain jars, and bags, buckets. I just tried out using coffee grounds mixed with some hard wood pellets, and Tarragon Oyster is spreading even faster than Pink Oyster, and both are doing better, actually than a regular hardwood bags. Lions mane is a big winner for aspen wood chips in buckets, where as others don't do so well, some contaminated, but all Lion's mane is healthy and constantly producing. peanut butter jars with some holes drilled in, covered in micropore tape, are so easy for anyone who has already made grain spawn, blue oyster and pink oyster, it will be ready to fruit in a week. Just pour boiling water on your aspen wood chips, let cool and created layers in the jar and seal. I am actually amazed at how fast and successful it is for something not properly sterilized, and a higher success rate than using buckets. I'm also in Canada. I have king blues and black pearl kings just starting to fruit.

I grow black pearl a lot. First flush 1.5 to 2 lbs. small second flush 4 to 6 ozs. I’ll grow a number of blocks at a time and my son freeze drys them for me and vacuum seals them. So I have them almost year round. Also grow white, blue and grey oysters. But my favorite is chestnut, I use them to make garlic sauce to go on top of my pasta. Outdoors I grow Wine caps.

Hey I'm just starting out as a hobby-mushroom-grower! Ordered some liquid King Oyster and Yellow Oyster mushrooms - nice to know that I made a good choice! btw thanks so much your help is invaluable! This whole thing is an adventure! I bought a 30 year old steriliser which looks like its from the DDR and the whole thing is just a lot of fun!

Thanks, i love it. im a survivor of stroke, so its hard to communicate. i live in a tiny apart very tiny, its on the third foor in helena mt, corthouse, i could touch it in less than 5 min

Awesome video, this gives me a few insights into some of the challenges I've had fruiting Oysters.

I have to hand it to you Tony. You took something that seemed pretty complicated and difficult, and made it very easy to understand and then do yourself. I love your videos and recommend them all the time. I don't know what it is about mushrooms but they seem very special. Keep up the great work my man!

These videos are great! I'm learning so much. I can go as deep as I want and it's east to understand. I'm taking notes like crazy. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this explanation. Easy to understand and well researched

Very informative. Thanks.

I really appreciate how you bring such informational content in a professional and calm way (contrary to the tendency on youtube for sensation and shouting). Have read your entire blog and you really inspired me to try it myself. Cloned store bought mushrooms via needle biopsy in honey water jars. Transferd on grain and and the first bag of king oysters is colonizing. Thanks for all your videos and blogs. Greetings from Flanders.

Thanks Tony! I always appreciate the knowledge that you and Tegan share! Good vibes my dude! :)

I was hoping he would touch on those too. There's some awesomely prolific & very tasty colonies of P. pulmonaris growing on some fallen white ash (sadly extinction bound stateside) nearby that I'd like to try my hand at growing at as well. Got to watch a really cool mass spore dispersal the other day.

Your channel is a great find. I’ve been vegan for more than 3yrs and been using mushrooms to boost my cooking’s flavour. I’m still learning the health benefits and different kind of mushroom and your channel is very helpful. Thank you.

I'm glad the person naming them specified it looked like a side ear, I would have been confused as to what kind of ear it looked like if they hadn't.

Pink oyster mushrooms are gorgeous :)

Hey Tony, love your vids, knowledge and enthusiasm for mushrooms! What material did you use for the substrate or casing layer on top of the king oyster blocks? I'm growing some kings oysters right now and find they do get dry pretty quickly even with misting two to three times a day.

didn’t know that there’s a pink variation of mushrooms! nice

Favorite oyster? Pleurotus pulmonarius. Managed to find one in the wild and clone it. Only's got one month of season per year in my country and is really rare, I'm so stoked. Six jars currently inoculating, furthest one is at about 25%. I'll make 25+ jars eventually. Two plates for storage.

its super interesting how youcan make really long skinny ones when they dont have much oxygen, and just the different ways you can get the same species to grow. super cool!

'Super' is a great word to use once, maybe twice.

Keep at at it. I tried a few times and got some frustrating mold contamination, despite gallons of alcohol spray and flame sterilized needles. I have 2 really good bags of CVG mix colonized with spawn. I am not giving up. I just built a small flow hood to do agar and keep everything sterile. I will eventually buy a pressure canner for my grain jars. I am so far trying King, yellow and Chestnut at fruiting stage.

J'ai une grande admiration pour ce savant qui est engagé dans la culture des pleurotes comme dans un sacerdoce. Je préfère l'huile d'olive pour mes cuissons en place du beurre c'est la seule nuance d'un méridional d'avec ce grand spécialiste. Chacun ses goûts!

I live in the Philippines and i grow Black Pearl oyster mushrooms alot... Those and King Blues. It is sub-tropics here and I have the best luck in the winter when night-time temps get in the mid 70's F... (days are in upper 80's F to 90 F +) Both take at least 3-4 weeks before they are fully colonized (on cvg) and both benefit from 24-48 hrs in the fridge to cold shock them into fruiting. I have also noted that an extra 3-4 hours of full band lighting improves results. They both need robust FAE and humidity of at least 85%-95% depending on air flow. Unlike the White Florida strains (and other warm weather species) both of these have fat meaty stems that are tender right down to the substrate, with wide thick caps. The King blues have fatter stems but I have found the Black Pearl's to be more prolific, with wider caps. Merry Christmas...

LOVE P.O.populinus... !!!

I have plastic bags of well colonized yellow and king oyster mycelium I grew from LC syringes. I did some brown rice microwave bags with chestnut also growing well. I am yet to get them to fruit. I have placed the king and yellow bags in a tub and cut the top corners off for fresh air exchange/ I have put a LED strip on them and a reptile heat mat. I am misting them. I hope to get some fruiting fungi soon. Your videos are great for a learner like me.

Have you tried growing the white elf as well (Pleurotus nebrodensis)? They seem to be endangered in the wild. And what about Phoenix oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius)? They're meant to be one of the few species that can grow on conifers (softwood)? Another cool one I've recently learned about is the Tarragon oyster, which is apparently endemic only to the area around York, UK. People that sell them claim that they are one of most delicious oyster species you can grow. I know that it's not easy to cover all of these in one video, but I gave you an idea for another video on the less conventional oyster varieties.

Thank you for the information I love mushrooms, not brave enough to grow them though

you always teach us mushroom growing for in home (like a hobby) show us for marketing method.

Hello! I started following you recently and I really love your videos. I would like to ask a question. I want to start growing mushroom at home from log. I have to use freshly cut log or older log that been rehydrated ? Thank you for your help and this awesome videos.

My local store has "black oyster" mushrooms (pretty sure they're blues) and "white oyster" mushrooms (pretty sure they're pearls). Oyster mushrooms are some of my favorites to gently simmer into a soup, or toss into a stir fry at the last minute and cook on the residual heat. I'm not a big fan of king oysters, I find they're TOO meaty for me, but I don't have a problem with oyster stems, so I guess it's a matter of preference.

I’m currently growing mycelium on paper from store bought Black Velvet Oyster mushrooms. The mycelium has really been enjoying the Kraft paper I’ve saved from deliveries - shredded and boiled for 30 min. It’s almost ready to fruit. Fingers crossed

I've noticed two different types of blues that we get- 'cool' blue and 'warm' blue. The cool blues keep the blue color better while the warm ones tend towards grey.

Many thanks for all the info! I have never tried an oyster mushroom so going to start off with one of the Back to the Roots kits. Here goes nothing! Or something!

How about Pheonix Oyster or Pleurotus Pulmonarius? What are the main differences between Pearl Oyster and Pheonix Oyster?

Thrilled to find yellow oysters have 'invaded' our hard woods as our morels seemed to have moved out due to over harvest by poachers. One question I have is will the yellow oysters colonize Walnut logs? We did a wood harvest earlier this spring and have a lot of brush down. I would love to know that in a year or two the yellows will help break them down.

Hello good morning . It's nice watching your video . I want to confirm something from you and this is very important to my life and business . Does oyster mushroom spawn smell at all even when it is white and no sign of contamination .

I live down in Belize and found what I think are pearl oyster mushrooms growing on a coconut tree. Do they grow on coconut trees? Also if they are misidentified what would the most likely candidate?

Hi , just one question if you could answer it will be helpful When to out casing layer on king Oyster after the block is fully covered in mycelium or just out it on top and wait. Thanks

Where did you get your cushion from please???????? I need it!!!!

Well I'm in Florida and I'm thinking to grow some pearl mushrooms outside, though the talk of bugs getting into them is a bit disconcerting lol.

There is a white form of Pleurotus citrinopileatus which is called Pleurotus cornucopiae and it is in Central Europe very rare. Pleurotus citrinopileatus was also named as Pleurotus cornucopiae var. citrinopileatus, because some people think that the yellow one is a subspecies of Pleurotus cornucopiae. The interesting thing is, that a guy found in Germany a big cluster of the white Pleurotus cornucopiae with about 60 or 70 fruit bodies and among them they were two fruitbodies yellow like Pleurotus citrinopileatus on the same substrate. Some people thought, that it is a mutation of Pleurotus cornucopiae. Pleurotus citrinopileatus is not normally found in Central Europe, because it is not very often cultivated where it can escape into the nature. The place where the few yellow fruit bodies were found amoung the white one was already far away from human habitation. Maybe, Pleurotus citrinopileatus is a subspecies of the white form Pleurotus cornucopiae.

Okay so, I have one of the back to the roots grow kits. When they were pinning they were definitely blue like you showed for blue oyster mushrooms, but I can't find anything to indicate back to the roots sells blue oyster grow kits, so can pearl oysters be that same blue when they're freshly pinned??
