Have you ever come across - Heenyan Mushroom Organifiction - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

    I could remember several years ago l suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 11 years totally clean. Shrooms are God- sents

    I am brand new to this mycelium world. However, I've listened and watched dozens of vids for the various vehicles I own since I do my own work on them.
    This young man is by far the best example of how a UA-cam should be made. At 66, I'm taking this up as a hobby because in a couple more years, I'll be too crippled to stand for extended periods for outdoor activities. Anyway, I've learned a ton, and have read more in the past two weeks than in the past twenty years, since I became disabled.
    Thank you sir! Keep up the great work!!!

Mycology is so fun and interesting, and I'm excited to finally try growing something myself. I'm thinking of experimenting with a few different strains and substrates to see what works best for me.

    O i see how you can make the cultures/spores from scratch its what i gathered from other videos on mushrooms this finally confirmed it for me. You pasteurize a grain such as millet , wheat, rye ,...etc then add cuttings of a mushroom to a container wet it and provide a little oxygen but not alot until the culture gets established and takes over then it cannt by harmed with. Once you got enough of it in jars you can add it to your hay , straw, peat moss, soil mixes whatever your growing material is that you choose. And keep it moist. Nice i think i got the easy to hard... though it would be nice to have the vent and pressure canner. One has many sterilization methods for containers , grains , hay ,..etc so it really requires only the mushrooms to get a culture from ...so freaking cool have to try it to see i will it all works out someday .Great video.

I took the bits of the mushrooms that got covered in that white fluff while they were in my fridge and added them to a small tub of quite moist tea leaves. I'm keeping the thing in my fridge, since I thought that if the original mushrooms got their mycelium growing in those conditions, they must be appropriate, Nothing much is happening, though, but the white fluff is still there. Although, it may be mold. The tub is sealed, though. I will take of the lid and put it into a bigger bag.

      Yes, oyster mushrooms release a tremendous amount of spores, and these can easily cause health issues when inhaled-even months after the mushrooms themselves are gone. If you’re wanting to grow oysters and you don’t have a dedicated grow room separate from your house and a respirator to use when harvesting, it would be better to do it outside in the open air.

    Years ago a friend and I turned a walk in closet into a mycology lab. It was super low budget. We just cover the entire inside with Vapor barrier plastic, and made a bubble for the colonization process. We had a zipper on the entrance to the bubble, and we’d cover our faces and spray ourselves with Lysol before walking in 🤣 not sure how well it worked because we had about 20% of the jars get contaminated before they were colonized.

    It feels like mushroom growing requires either a lot of plastic or a lot of energy or a lot of both and so unless you’re doing it at scale it can’t really be considered environmentally friendly. Is that true from your experience?

Those are great mushrooms to promote man Health specially with so much plastic been exposed even in mother’s womb. ( see videos of Dr. Shanna Swan in you tube). Yes. Cordyceps may help with that.

    Would saw dust have less bacteria or be easier to sterilize if someone didn't have a pressure canner? A few yrs ago I was at a park and stumbled on something called an inky cap mushroom and was reading how it can be used to make ink and I thought that it is very cool and I thought about one day cultivating some because apparently not only do they seem to be forgotten but they are also apparently hard to find and turn into black goo within a day or two

    Hey there,
    Biologist here, who already has a small sterile lab setup for iv propagation at home. Really would like to try out some mushroom growing, but I can't find any proper overview about which species are easy to grow on hardwood with traditional methods and which need much more special attention. Any content here, that I'm missing? Would make a great video! :)

    I'm sure you've been asked this question many times. Instead of a pressure canner, can you sterilize grain in a hot water bath canner but perhaps for a longer period of time?
