Nice video, Cody. This would be a great way to grow mushrooms for anyone who likes them. I don’t quite like mushrooms, but it’s an informative video too.

Interesting i did not know Calcium hydroxide could be used to kill pathogens off what type of mushroom is that. Awsome video Cody.

gave up on indoor growing completely?

Too bad about the blue oyster mushrooms, but the fruit you got on the other ones look really nice. Guess the holes need to be a bit bigger to get the fruit to stick on the side. In the future pasteurizing the straw might work better to kill all the bad stuff.

1. I'm really impressed with the almost-a-pound mushroom. Congratulations! 2. I got a Cody'sLab video for my birthday, yay!

maybe leaving them out doors in a mosquito net enclosure would deal with insect problems?

Hi Cody. As a representant of a mushroom-picking nation, I hope I could offer some advice regarding those maggots. Your setup is a perfect, close to laboratory clean environment compared to the mushrooms' natural environment - the forest. Never the less, the insect gets everywhere. The standard approach to treating the mushrooms picked out there in the woods is "pick them if the look at least half decent and clean them at home". At home, you discover many of them contain (similar, but smaller) maggots. No worries, you just cut out the parts that are infested and there you go. Almost no wild mushrooms are maggot-free, you just have to accept that. Anyways, when you cook them, you don't put whole mushrooms in but rather cut them to pieces so the cleansing process helps you even with that. Good luck with mining your mushrooms. Cheers from the Czech Republic :-)

Hi Cody! great video and crop! regarding the holes, perhaps you can cut crosses instead of round holes, i saw similar cuts being done with plastic bag growing, this way the hole is dynamic and elastic so that the fruit as it grows widens the opening cheers!

Thought you were just joking around calling the mushrooms "mushumes" when i got the notification

For drilling holes in buckets, you can't beat a step drill. They drill and deburr at the same time, and if you need a bigger hole, just drill deeper.

Just extra protein. Soup looks really good. Thanks for sharing.

Growing the mushrooms in the mine reminds me of a silly bit from “Hopalong Cassidy”, where one guy is growing “gold nuggets” down a mine shaft. Hilarity ensues

The spawn to substrate ratio makes a difference. It was hard to tell how much spawn you used but if I was doing a bucket like you were for the oysters I'd do a minimum of 4 quarts per bucket. A 1 to 10 ratio is a pretty good rule of thumb for an aggressive colonizer like oysters.
