Did I hear somebody yell your name in that video?

Would love to see those mushrooms with a few herbs, charred/smoked over an open fire, or grilled with butter and onions. Tasty all the same!

Nice! Growing up we could never grow anything on the north side of our house, this is a really good use for areas like that

That mushroom is EPIC, making me really want to head up to Washington to go hunting for some mushrooms.

if you left the big one, would it have kept growing into a "bush" of mushroom?

Very enjoyable video. I usually collect Morel mushrooms and cook them in butter. Thanks again keep up the great work.

No. The mushrooms would've started rotting after done flowering.

Glad at least one of the patches worked out! Hope it'll keep producing fruit. I think the bed-size is a bid too big. What we did when growing wood-loving mushrooms outside was to dig a ditch, about 20-30cm wide, and then layer the mycelium in there. Lot of fungi like to produce fruit on the edge of their beds it seems. Also I think you definitely could've pasturized the straw somewhat, or first grown much more spawn to cover the bed with (for the bed-size this seemed like very little). And then use a different, preferably nutrient-poor, cover to prevent other species from coming in. Still a really nice harvest on the oyster mushrooms. Although I think you are a better grower than you are a cook :#

I dislike the flavor and texture of mushrooms, but I love these videos!

Wow that a really big Oyster mushroom patch cool.

Wow, over a kilogram of mushroom! That's a veritable feast, and a tasty one too, I'd wager!!!

2021-10-11 05:38:14 Spawn to substrate ratio is important! Also, pasteurizing the straw in some form. Oysters are pretty agressive but wine caps aren't as aggressive. Once established wine caps can be bacteria eating machines and even do well in chicken runs. You can use hydrated lime to treat your straw. It has the added benefit of hydrating the straw fully. Once you have the grain spawn, you can expand it onto a bucket of straw to give you some pre-colonized straw. Kind of similar to doing an oyster bucket but you're not after fruits just good healthy mycelium. For one , it get's the organism used to digesting straw, and, two, give you a much bigger volume of healthy mycelium to colonize the bed. Source: my local mycological group class on growing wine caps. I've tried & failed a couple times on both oysters and wine caps.
