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.
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.
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
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!
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.
I was given a blue oyster grow kit for Christmas and after doing some research came to your video! I'm on about day 7 or 8. I have an activated carbon air filter and a vent over the mushrooms and the only problem is that I dried them out in a couple instances! After i added a humidifier they have been blooming beautifully!
I'd love to try Oyster mushrooms. I haven't had the pleasure yet. But after watching this video, I think I will be getting some pink oyster mushrooms and cooking those up.
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!
Shrooms are real good,and has healing powers,i got recommended to a Healer who got the beat psychedelic,hit him up on instagram @healermanchris...he's a sure plug...🍄🍄💯
I just ate a very small amount of sauted golden oyster mushrooms . Delicious! My husband wouldn't try them, for fear they might be poisonous. I spent a couple hours researching online, Google lens determined my photo I took in the woods, on a dead log, to be golden oyster mushrooms. Thank you for the informative video❤
Been watching your channel for months now and somehow never knew you were in Canada! Haha good stuff. Thank you for all the great information, keep the videos coming!!!
just started with grow kits myself. currently kicking off a 2nd flush of pink oysters & shiitake .. I'm hooked & trying really hard not to go get more already... (don't want the house full of them... or do i?)
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.
The wild variant of Blue Oyster grows near me. It has a lovely anise smell. Definitely my favourite. I am just about to try grow it for the first time.
Love your work, bro. I'm just getting into cultivating mushrooms this week so diving down the rabbit hole... I noticed you didn't mention the species I've chosen to start with down here in New Zealand, pleurotus pulmonarius.
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.
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.
I'm a big fan of my pinks. When you posted up your pink cooking video I was getting ready to fruit mine. Unfortunately they pinned, lost their color and stalled. I got my equipment debugged and am about to try again. Keep the great information coming 👍
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.

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...
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.
En casa cultivamos Djamor y Ostreatus. Me gustó mas el aroma y sabor de P. Ostreatus Gracias por la informacion. me quedo con entusiasmo por probar las citrino
I’m interested in this because I am about to inoculate some mahogany logs with them here in the tropics. My experience foraging them is that they grow well in very high humidity and full shade or partial sun. And they are white not gray. ❤
Great video, I am currently growing pink and pearl oysters, I never liked Blue Oysters, always thought they were part of a cult, yet people always tell me, "Don't fear the reaper"....hahahahahahaha😂🤣😅😄 *My deepest apologies to people under 30, who probably have no clue about what I just wrote...hehehehe. Also, put anything into Google and they have a button that you can hit and they will pronounce any word.
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.
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.
Awesome info Tony! Thank you for sharing!🙏🏻. I love growing all kinds and haven’t had too much luck with Oysters. I live in a hot and humid area. South Texas😬. But I do love eating them😃
Yeah. People whove only spoken english all their lives are shocked when they discover most languages have their phonems consistenly correspond with their graphemes. I love english but what is the purpose of writing if you cant tell how a word is pronounced just by looking at it. This is a product of the still standing perception of french as sophisticated. Seriously. French ruined the english language. Rant over before i get overly mad about it
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.
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!
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.
Any suggestions about mushroom farts? I know it's gross, but some mushrooms make me have gas like nothing else and I wondered if that' permanent? Really seems to be just oyster mushrooms, boiling prior to sautéing them seems to help a bit, but sometimes it doesn't matter what I do. I can eat a pound of beans and no problems, but a couple oyster mushrooms and fog horn city.
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.
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.
apparently yellow or golden oyster mushrooms grow at 20-30°C, so in the summer, while the oyster mushrooms we have here in germany grow at 2-6°C, so in winter. I think I will try to populate those yellow ones in the german wild forest this year, then we'll have winter and summer oyster mushrooms if it works
As mentioned in the video, after you spread those, you might only have summer oysters as Yellow oysters can outcompete other detritivores Spreading those could destroy your other harvest due to invasive species’ tendency to spread further , faster than you intendes 😂
Does different color means different flavors or texture, especially the yellow oyster ,i never had it and am curious to know since it has citrusy smell...
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 .
Tip to get your mushrooms extra crispy! Saute them in the pan WITHOUT oil first. You want to release some of that moisture before adding the oil or fat for frying them. If you put the oil on first it creates a shield that holds the moisture in.
@@orionishi6737 yeah you need some moisture to make sure it sticks to the mushroom. The additional batter I mentioned is a light one similar to tempura. Well I'm not a pro, just cooking for my family 😊
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.
Hi man. Great video. I have a question regarding the spawn.. there is no place locally in my area that sells. Is it possible to make it myself from a mushroom kit and how long can it be kept
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.

Where do you live? I’m considering starting a small farm too
didn’t know that there’s a pink variation of mushrooms! nice
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!
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.
'Super' is a great word to use once, maybe twice.
This is a wonderful summary of oysters thank you !!
How about Pheonix Oyster or Pleurotus Pulmonarius? What are the main differences between Pearl Oyster and Pheonix Oyster?

To that, add that each vowel is pronounced and that "a" is never "ah", though people always say it that way.

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

Black Kings are the hybrid made by mossy creek, I believe, the King Trumpet/Black pearl
I would assume growing pearl oyster mushroom the same way as blue oyster mushroom is it right?? Thanks
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.

yes totally! not a lot of experience with that one personally
I read that the pulmonarius likes warmer weather so it may not be popular in Canada
This guy is too smart, too articulate, too congenial, and way too knowledgeable about mushrooms. Pretty sure he is an AI, computer-generated YT host.

I've got golden, blue, snow, Italian, and pinks going, the blue and Italian ones already fruiting at 1 week and a day.
There is a white form of Pleurotus citrinopileatus which is called Pleurotus cornucopiae and it is in Central Europe very rare.

apparently yellow or golden oyster mushrooms grow at 20-30°C, so in the summer, while the oyster mushrooms we have here in germany grow at 2-6°C, so in winter.
I think I will try to populate those yellow ones in the german wild forest this year, then we'll have winter and summer oyster mushrooms if it works
As mentioned in the video, after you spread those, you might only have summer oysters as Yellow oysters can outcompete other detritivores
Spreading those could destroy your other harvest due to invasive species’ tendency to spread further , faster than you intendes 😂
Does different color means different flavors or texture, especially the yellow oyster ,i never had it and am curious to know since it has citrusy smell...
There is definitely some differences in textures and flavors.
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.
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 .
We do on occasion
If yellow oyster is invasive, then please just come invade my house. Wouldn't complain!
Be careful what you wish for! haha just kidding, that would make me happy too :)
Tip to get your mushrooms extra crispy!
Saute them in the pan WITHOUT oil first.
You want to release some of that moisture before adding the oil or fat for frying them. If you put the oil on first it creates a shield that holds the moisture in.
Powder them with plain flour first and leave them for a few mins. The flour will soak excess moisture. Then you can dip it in your favourite batter.
@@sendoh7x is this to deep fry them? Wouldn't the moisture stay in the flour?
@@orionishi6737 yeah you need some moisture to make sure it sticks to the mushroom. The additional batter I mentioned is a light one similar to tempura. Well I'm not a pro, just cooking for my family 😊
@@sendoh7x sounds delicious!
Excellent video.
I noticed a porcelain frenchie in the background
Do you have frenchies?
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.
Amazing video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What about White oyster mushrooms ? They are the most common in the supermarket (where I live in Australia) and I can easily find LC for ?
Check him out👆🍄
Hi man. Great video. I have a question regarding the spawn.. there is no place locally in my area that sells. Is it possible to make it myself from a mushroom kit and how long can it be kept
All thanks to mycojims on IG for being genuine... You can always get your shrooms, LSD, dmt, chocolate bars and even growing kits.,
Black Pearl Kings are a cross between a European and an Asian Pleurotus ostreatus. I love them.
LOVE P.O.populinus... !!!
Taste what about their taste is it different or all are the same? Thats the most important thing that i want to know
