Hey, great video! What is the substance in the bottom of beds? It looks like rock but I can’t tell. I just found your videos and subscribed. I’m trying to grow mushrooms in the desert.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me.
@Khari Keaton thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I've been growing pink and pearl oyster mushrooms for the first time. The pink were ready to be partially harvested today, so I went ahead and fried them. To my surprise, they do taste a lot like bacon!!! 😀 I used avocado oil, and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
I was able to grow these without adding any humidity in a cold basement in winter! These seem to grow through anything definitely the easiest mushrooms I've grown and everybody loves the look, texture and flavor too.
@@___echo___ It's been a while so I don't remember exact times but I think it's only about a week for the mycelium then you can watch them finish in a few days. They grow faster than anything.
@@___echo___ ua-cam.com/users/shortsZYAA8FT4ERA?feature=share I just hang garbage bags over them and peek at them tell I see this then take the bags off and let them finish.
@@Jebussins My basement was probably in the 60s. If you put them in a tent with a light that should be enough to get to a good enough temp. The mycelium also makes heat. The tent will also keep spores from making a mess around your whole basement.
I just bought a pink oyster mushroom bag to grow at home, and it's already starting to get baby mushrooms after only a couple days. I was worried that they didn't look right and wasn't sure when I should harvest them, but this video helped a lot! Now I feel more confident. I'm also a vegan so I'm very ready to try bacon-ing them. Haha!
I'm growing a number of different mushrooms at home right now and fruiting has been the biggest challenge for me so videos like this that show how you're doing it where you maybe talk about other things you've tried and what's worked well or poorly are really good.
❤the emphasis on "BITS". I've been interested in pink oysters for the aesthetics, but discouraged due to shelf life. But i might try a small cult if they really are that "meaty"
Thx for showing us how to make the mushroom bacon bits that helped. I got to see how much is needed and how to chop it and into what size. Highly appreciate it
I grew these from wild collected spores with plans to isolate strains, process I am onto at the moment. I cooked my first multi-spore culture harvest and fried them with butter, some garlic and onion. They tasted like lobster. Delicious! Different from the oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus.
Hey Tony, after watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for a while now, I finally got my small greenhouse going and just inoculated my first batch of mushrooms ( pink oysters, king oysters, pioppini and shiitaki) and I must say my pinks are colonizing at a rediculous rate. I am definitely going to use this recipe for my first flush from my first batch. Keep up the great videos and great information
oh man! I just got pink oyster mushroom kit from my brother for christmas! Came in the mail a little late, opened it up about a week ago. I'm like 3 days after it pinning and now here you are with a full blown pink oyster video! I'm looking forward to trying these out I've never eaten the pink ones before really wanna see how much like Bacon they actually are! :D
THANKS...... looks great! its been soooo long since I ate meat(Feb. 14, 2020).......I miss bacon......I love not eating animals though & I have lost 76 lbs eating WFPB..... HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Try the Hooddie Tek it gives you a higher volume. Be sure to do it with the rubber bands. Practical mycology has a great video series on the Hoodie Tek. Warm temps and low light leave them with less color.
I'm about to give growing mushrooms a try. I ordered a blue oyster kit earlier today. If that goes well, I was already planning on trying other mushrooms. But I probably would have overlooked pink oyster mushrooms if UA-cam hadn't suggested a video with both pink oyster and bacon in the title. From a color stand point, pink is my least favorite color. But from a food standpoint, bacon is very high on my list of favorites. And for that matter, smoked paprika is high on my list of favorite spices. I will definitely be adding pink oysters to my list of mushrooms to try.
Hi there...love your videos...great information and we'll presented everytime!! What do you think would be the best way to store the mushroom bacon bits
it looks to me like they would love to grow sideways out of the bag instead of out on the upside. as you cut the scond time, you rearranged some of the bags, so the mushrooms had to reorientade themselfs, i guess that costs them some energy aswell. i would have slid them open sideways.
Have You ever canned Your mushrooms that have a short shelf life fresh ? I think that would be a good way to preserve a harvest too big for the present market , or need . You have an excellent channel, thanks, and blessings.
4:38 This happened to me the other day, most of them just wouldn't pin where i cut and just burst through the bag and filter, later flushes did mostly pin where i cut. My hypothesis is that this happened because i cut too deep (like you did) and disturbed the mycelium too much, could also be that the meaty white part of the mycelium just wasn't all that dense there so it prefered to pin elsewhere where it had more energy stored or something. What do you think?
hard to say, mushrooms just do as they please sometimes haha- I agree maybe the cutting damages the mycelium, but it usually doesn't matter. Always the easiest/fastest is just cutting where they are already pinning, but that can be awkward sometimes
Hello! Awesome video! Do you have a video of you building the outdoor green house? If not, you should make a video about it! I’m sure others would appreciate it! Thanks
Have you compared yield/colonization speed of pasturized sawdust vs supplemented sawdust? Id like to add oyster to my farmers market table this year but Im not ready to invest in a bulk sterilizer. Pellets seem a lot easier to deal with than straw.
That will happen most times. I just take the mushrooms out and put the glass back on top with a small small air gap and let the water evaporate. Not the cleanest method you could say but since i dodn t care about the spore print's looks they came out nicely and not contaminated. Just make sure the air is still and the enviorment clean!!
Fresh air and humidity - how about running an air stone into a bottle or jar of water inside the greenhouse? I’ve seen that method for growing Panaeolus.
You see from the color they are in too low humidity air. If you add more Humidity in the surrounding air they would not only look better but also grow quicker.
Due to the short shelf life of the mushrooms, do they do well with dehydration to help them keep for longer term storage if you do get a particularly bountiful growth that you can't eat all at once?
I dehydrate Pink oyster when I have leftovers from the markets. The dehydrate just fine. They aren't 100% when you rehydrate them but that goes for pretty much any mushrooms.
Good vid. Just wondering how much average yield % could be increased by optimizing the humidity/oxygen tradeoff with an algorithm controlling an extractor fan and a humidifier. Any thoughts?
I am very serious about starting a small business this year with mushrooms. How much does light affect the growth. Would it be better indoors? CO2 concentration is bad for them? would be cool to hear the factors that are to be balanced for the best growth
Hi! I have a question, when you say, “…not in direct sunlight…” do you mean your entire little mushroom grow cage is out of direct sunlight? Or was it in sunlight, but the bags themselves were not in direct sunlight due to the shade cloth? I ask because I want to grow some in my greenhouse, under a shade cloth but, is having the entire greenhouse in the sun make it a bad place to grow them? Geez, I hope this makes sense, I mean, I KNOW the spawn bag cannot be in direct sunlight, but what about direct sunlight under a shade cloth? 👈 I suppose that is my question, lol. Thanks in advance for any clarification from anyone! 🥂💚🍄
I wonder if using some liquid smoke on these would bring them even closer to that bacon flavour. Will be trying it once my oysters have fruited, thanks.
These looks really delicious. i have a question. Pleurotus djamor is also a pink oyster, what is the growing conditions for this? The fruiting temperature and the humidity needed
How hot is "too hot", and how cold is "too cold"? I live in a climate very different than yours, and I think temperature ranges would be more helpful for those with different conditions.
You can always grow inside with a monotub or even easier putting a bag over the initial grow bag and spraying the sides of the outer bag for humidity!!
@@davidcervantes4867 yeah but that doesn't answer his question, it just solves problems he may not have. Dude could be in Florida or Alaska. You're assuming he needs more humidity, etc etc, but he was really wanting to know what they meant in objective terms rather than the subjective ones they were using. If i say too hot or too cold in Texas that's different than what someonein Michigan thinks of those terms as meaning.
I know this is an old video from when I'm seeing it so probably won't get a response, but I watched a few oyster videos and i was wondering, why does everyone cut 1 side of the bag and not 2 sides, or even all 4? Seems like only 1 small portion of the block is being used.
Fellow MycoAnons - please give me which Oysters you recommend for an amateur culinary student. I would love to have some ideas for meat replacement recipes in case SHTF.

awesome! yes, they are so satisfying to grow.
Those look so good, and you definitely sold me with them tasting like bacon!
It’s sooooo tasty!!
The best mushrooms channel ever!
They are so bright pink. I didn't think they would be.

thanks for watching!!
Wow! Exactly what I was looking for! Rather let a pig live a beautiful life. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. 🌻🙏
Looking good. I would definitely love to try and mushroom that taste like bacon.
finally tasted some and they do taste so good and very similar to bacon. I can see the resemblance when you let them get nice and golden and crispy..
Try the Hooddie Tek it gives you a higher volume. Be sure to do it with the rubber bands. Practical mycology has a great video series on the Hoodie Tek.
Warm temps and low light leave them with less color.
Thank you so much for sharing your mushroom journey to the world! Learning so much from you guys and I'm enjoying the process. Have a good 2021! :)
Low CO is not the problem. Proper initial humidity, temps and light your crop did not have long thin small blooms so CO was not an issue!
Great video, thank you for the information, im starting my first batch of pink mushroom this week hopefully
Good luck with your grow!!
Great video man. So, why have you not opened the bag where the oysters were pinning already? Won't you lose these ones now.

Are they growing from the bottom because they like the extra moisture there?
Can you do a favorite gadgets video? Humidity meters, fans, lights, spore companies, etc. Think a lot of us would be interested
Definitely a good idea!
Yessss, I second this!
My first spawn's in the mail and I am so freakin' stoked about this recipe! Looking forward to my first harvest ✌️
Hi there...love your videos...great information and we'll presented everytime!! What do you think would be the best way to store the mushroom bacon bits

Hello, can i use straw/hay to grow pink oyster mushrooms? And is there a organic alternative to using plastic bags?
Put a plant in the greenhouse to remove co2.

How long dose it take to grow fungus from start to harvest. Average fungus. 14-21 days?

"Bacon" pink oyster mushrooms with grilled onions and green beans sounds like it would be fabulous.
I was wondering as usual what temperature and humidity is required in the fruiting tent.
You’re pink yourself at the start 💗
where are the inoculations for the different mushrooms on the website
Soya ,brown suger, liquid smoke ,paprika ,garlic.. I use too make outher things taste bacon in a pinch .. might mess around with this
