- I have never grown mushrooms before. This is an experiment I invite you to join. I want this to be an active group learning experience. One of the first step to growing mushrooms is harvesting spores. We start with the White Button mushroom and the Baby Bella mushrooms. I will show you my learning curve through all the steps of grow mushrooms indoors.

Hi, could you grow mushrooms from spore print? What's the result?
Thanks for starting this series, this is always something I wanted to do. I am looking forward to this video series.
Awesome video, thanks for the tip on cutting off the bottom of the mushroom. I tried some the other day and just got a piece of specimen. I just cut the bottoms off of a new batch of Baby Bellas. Going to try it again. Thanks again for the tip
Thanks Gary. Great idea...from my reading I would say the most important factor in success is to use sterile growing medium. You've inspired me to try this along with everyone else. Look forward to reading the comments and seeing more videos.
Great I would like to see how yours works. I will be working on second video soon.
Looking forward to this!
Really nice idea. I look forward to doing this.
Exciting.
I love Mushrooms, I might actually do this this winter ^^
here's several ideas to try
pick the top variety - there are lots available.
grow them in the best environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and may be placed outdoors
(I read these and why they work on Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
Looks interesting. Looking forward to following this
I Will Be Trying It This Way Next Week. Thanks
Very cool Idea. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. Will be trying this, and probably driving my wife crazy with another garden experiment. Thanks.
Yep. If my wife opens the wrong cabinet door... Ill be hearing about it. Im trying to grow some mycelium for next video.
Awesome video! I love the global gardening vision!
Cool Gary. Nice video.
Well, Gary, you have answered my question before I have had the opportunity to ask it again. Mushrooms are one if not the best source of protein for a vegan food plan. I opened UA-cam this morning to search and there you were at the top of my list. What a blessing. Can not wait for the next step.
Excellent. So spores is one way to go. Cloning is another. Ill be getting a video or two out a week. Cloning is next and mold and how to stay mostly sterile.
I've bought a kit to grow oyster mushrooms and I've also made spore prints from mushrooms I collected from the wild. That is as much as I have done involving growing mushrooms.
Did you have success growing mushrooms from spore prints you collected?
Looking forward to how you go its something I wanted to try. I tried to inoculate two grow beds last year that I had filled with compost and bark chips. I hope I will get something from that in the future.
@Ramsey Nancy NO
Can't wait to see the results. I will search for other videos later to see people's results.:-)
This is so interesting! I’m in NW Alaska. When we’re at the cabin 75 miles off the grid, this will come in handy! Thx
Buying a bag of mushroom spawn I found was easier and its much cheaper nowadays. Wine Caps are a good one to start with

Thanks Gary.
Gary: Today I started the mushroom growing experiment with shiitake mushrooms. I purchased some from a local person selling at the farmers market. Put the mushroom caps on thick paper for the spore printing. I'm watching your videos for advise on what to do next. Hopefully I can grow mushrooms too!! Thanks for making this available to us. I love learning new types of gardening. This is definitely an adventure!
Excellent. I am now waiting for them to do something LOL. The are in the substrate. I should know in 10-14 days more.
+Gayle Siler (Double G Farm) dont shitake grow on wood thou ? hope it will work
I am SO... Going to try THIS...
A fun experiment.

Thank you for sharing your experiment here. I have been trying to do a lot of research on this subject and there is not a huge selection of youtube videos on spore collecting. I have grown bellas from the grow at home box kits before and the taste of fresh mushrooms is amazing compared to store bought. This peaked my curiosity about spore collecting. The box kits can be very expensive and sometimes you get a box that doesn't produce much. Spore collecting seems like fun and a lot cheaper even if the results aren't as fruitful.
The Renegade Hippie I have been successful with the dowels. No mushrooms yet but lots of growth and am very close. Once I get there I will be doing another video. I plant to use the dowels you can buy as a way to start mushrooms.
Gary Pilarchik I saw the dowels online before I watched your videos but wasn't sure how they worked. They are a lot cheaper than the box kits that I was talking about. I think I'm going to give the dowels a try. I've enjoyed watching your experiment unfold. Looking forward to the next video.
What an interesting experiment. I'm curious about your inventions. Experimenting with oyster mushrooms and shii take myself in The Hague.

Any problem with spores contamination? I think aluminum foil is better, you can quickly immerse it in boiling water to kill bacteria before collecting spores, then use steriluzed syringes with Mineral water to collect your spores.
That's a good idea.
Horrible idea. Boiling water would kill the spores

1. Exposing the spores-YES. Not necessary with all species. 2. You SHOULD sanitize hands or wear gloves. If you intend to use these spores to cultivate you DO NOT want them contaminated 3. 6 hrs is NOT long enough to get a good spore deposit. The specimen should be covered. 4. DO NOT use paper for a spore deposit; card stock is okay, but foil is BEST simply because paper is manufacture with chemicals that can affect the viability of your spores. 5 In the case your buttons place on the foil and then slip into a paper (not plastic) bag-why? Humidity will build up. You want the spores to dry and DO NOT want excess water all over them.
If you want to cultivate, it may be best for you to try 2 or 3 other things besides collecting spores, that are much more efficient. 1. Cloning. This is very easy. Simply slice into the stem to expose the innertissue of the specimen and scrape some material off. This is then swabbed onto an agar plate OR dropped into sterilized grain. 2. My own method is to make LC (Liquid Culture). Sterilize distilled water & (white) karo syrup solution. If you have spores scrape some into the solution or drop some tissue from a specimen into the solution. IN about 2 weeks you will have enough culture to grow as much as you want. Be sure however that you have made an injection port on the lid of the jar you are using in order to pull the spores.
+FearOfaBlackChannel Thanks a lot. That info is helpful.
FearOfaBlackChannel
what is the culture and what do you mean 'pull out the spores'
"Pull" meaning with a syringe; 'culture' meaning a prepared solution either liquid or on an agar plate or slant.
FearOfaBlackChannel do you have a video of this or a good source for me to learn thanks
There are several ideas to try
select the top type - there are lots available.
grow them in the best conditions - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be put outdoors
(I read these and the reasons they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower website )
Thanks
U should grow the magic ones...

I've been spending time with the help of my son studying how to grow mushrooms and discovered a fantastic resource at Gregs Mushroom Grower (check it out on google)
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to grow mushrooms try Nevolly Mushrooms Maker Nerd ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my partner got great success with it.
@Jason JPL move to Denver
I'm growing B+! I can't wait till thier done
Man this video is making me hungry. I love raw mushrooms.
But they carry toxins when raw
I have wanted to learn this myself for a long time, I've watched a ton of videos however I have not seen a successful Crimini or baby bella video yet. Here's to hoping! :) I've also noticed in these video's that mushroom spawn is highly susceptible to contamination and that you should always wash your hands and any surfaces that come in contact with the substrate and spores using Isopropal alcohol. Good luck Gary! Following...
After the print It should go into a clean bag. Since the mushroom itself probably contaminated the original. Just learned that.
agree and very much so. must sterilize when handling and processing too.
+utah charme hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about how do you grow mushrooms try Panlarko Grow Mushroom Planner ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got cool success with it.

We wanted to try this but catalog companies are not allowed to send their mushroom kits to this state.
Yes I think I shall try this ..thank you for sharing this option. We will look forward to your follow up mushroom series.
Cloning is next.
Clear Plastic tub humidifier jars with brown rice ground warm shit need pollon some vermeculite heating pad perlite led light look up further instructions (;
Alright Gary, I'm in. This seems interesting and fun! If I post a video, I'll totally credit you. I wouldn't of even thought of doing this. Good stuff.
Thanks. I think it will be fun. Glad you going to try, in case I fail. I will be starting the 2nd video this week.
Gary Pilarchik. I did a lot of research on it last night. Looking forward to how you will inoculate. I think I will use the syringe method and inoculate compost. I'll do a video on the process. Hopefully one of us can get a mushroom! I'm kind of stoked to try it. The worst that will happen is nothing and I'm okay with that!
Indoor Hydroponix I ordered some inoculated grain. That will grow in some sterilized hay and coco coir when I get to it. And I did some sliced white button mushrooms in compost and some spore strips in compost. First I want to see if minimal prep and no over the top sterilization can get mushrooms going. Then I am going to work toward the more proper methods.
Gary Pilarchik. Yeah the sterilization seems a bit intense. But I suppose its necessary so the bad bacteria doesn't spoil to spores. My goal in this will be to grow mushrooms without buying the spores or a kit. I think perfecting the grocery store mushroom grow would be awesome!!!
Gary Pilarchik I'm thinking you should research how to do this outdoors. Since our spring starts around May you should know enough by then to start a new batch. The outdoor method would reduce your worries about contamination also...which scares me knowing all those molds are in the air we breath inside a house!
you should use coco coir it doesn't smell bad and it is more forgiving with sanitizing the substrate.
Thanks
I've been thinking of trying to grow mushrooms a some point. This is an interesting experiment that I might try out for my self (after some research of course). I look forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks so much!
That would be cool. Spores is one way. Cloning is another which I have going on now. We can also buy spawn on dowels. Lots of ways. This is just the start of the journey if you want to help us all with trying it out on your end.
Gary Pilarchik I prefer to do it on my own then to buy it from anyone. Why not as its a good experiment. We should all grow our own to support the families and the local community. I am not into buying veg etc from big corporations. We need to keep the local farmers going and support them.
Jackie Flynn I agree, we can grow so much at home. Not everything but certainly a lot! It is good for kids to learn where food come from... and that is not a grocery store.
All so true. This will be a great project to try for homeschooling. The kids love to learn and ask "why" lol
Gary, how did it come out?
I always noticed that everybody is always being so clean when doing this but how do you keep the Spore prints from contamination when it's on dirty-looking paper and how do you sterilize it if you are to do that without ruining the spores
I think it is just a precaution. 100% sterile is great but if you aren't it doesn't mean instant contamination
Please check out my Seed & Garden Shop for your gardening needs www.therustedgarden.com
Can you put the Spore in the jar to knock knock late
Hey. I plan to start some mushrooms at home. I bought some from the supermarket and there is fluffy stuff on the stems. I figured this may give me an advantage in growing on my own since i think it is mycelium. Is it ok to use the fluffy stems as well as the spores to start my own shrooms?
+flashhassen I am by no means an expert. I am still experimenting. But you can do it that way. You want really fresh mushrooms.
Thanks a lot i wNt to grow mushroom but i failed and failed and failed i try every time by seeds spore prints but in vain
is it ok to moisten the paper first then let the mushroom sit and put a cup or something over it? i thought it would keep it a bit more moist and the spores would stick better.
Im experimenting and learning so I dont have this down yet. But I wouldnt moisten the paper towel as it will allow other molds and fungus to grow. Youre just capturing spores that can sit without moisture.
Gary Pilarchik oh OK, thank you. I didn't think about molds.
there is enough liquid in the mushrooms to get a good spore
hi, did you do the rest of the series, I can't seem to find them.
I didnt. Life got in the way.

Gary: I bought some home grown shiitake mushrooms from a guy at the farmers market Saturday. Can I go ahead, before they rot, if they do rot, make the spore card impressions?. They are in a paper bag. Should I refrigerate them until I get the spores on the cards? Love the experiment! Thanks.
Well I am still experimenting and learning. So I am not well experienced with mushrooms. But you should be able to make spore prints very easily. I just don't know how easy it will be to get them to grow. Im still working on it.
Correct me if im wrong, but before you put the caps in the bag, dont you have to slice a small x on top of the cap and put a few drops of water in them to encourage spore collection?
I havent done that

anybody know what grains you can innoculate with Portobello spores? I'd like to grow my own, but the temps here in Florida are too hot to fruit and Id have to grow indoors, and as you could guess I'd prefer not to bring large amounts of manure into my house. I could also add broken down straw to whatever grains would be suitable.
You can use coir with a little bit of used coffee grounds instead of manure. That's what I'm doing for the same reason - don't want manure in the house and don't want to have to sterilize manure on my stove (gross).
question when you said let the spore sit does that mean with a jar over it or what
I would put something over it.
Very interested in this. Could you not cut the spore paper in several pieces and plant the paper with the spores on it??
So this is pretty old. Not sure. Most important is having the right outdoor growing medium.

I'm wondering if spores are like seeds or are they already living? Meaning can they be dried and stored or will they die? or are they already in the phase of growing?
That I don't know. I stopped with mushrooms. I want to build an outdoor area for them but don't have room.
Just wondering how long they can be stored, thanks for advice on how to collect spores. Worked for me.
Well seeds are living and so are spores but seeds are like embryos and spores aren’t embryos
What happened next really want to know if it works can't wait to grow mushrooms at home. Pls let us know soon
It works but there is not follow up video. This is from years back and a mold get hold of stuff. Sorry

You can produce stronger strains from spore prints, like seeds, but its easier to get contamination. If you break the mushroom in half and take center flesh with a sterile knife you will have less contamination, but it will be a clone so over time the strain may become weaker.
Thanks that helps. I did read the center cut is best for the reason you stated. Will any part of the mushroom work as a clone for mycelium production.
@@THERUSTEDGARDENyes but the center is the best place to take a cutting
How long do you leave them on the paper before inoculating the compost?
Oh this was a while ago. I only left there about a week.
I have no idea about how mushrooms grow, but just wondering if the comment esction knew if you could just cut the membrane etc and place in a suitable (whatever that may be) place in a garden and then if would then release mushrooms?
In theory yes, meeting the conditions is hard.

Can you do this with dried mushrooms? Maybe I can grind up dried caps. Then just mix it into my soil. I guess it doesn’t hurt to try huh?
Doesnt hurt but its a lot of work for minimal benefit. I would just compost them.

Gary, where are the other 5 videos? I can't seem to find them.
Ah...thats because we are in the live experimental stage. I havent made them yet. After putting them in the substrate you have to wait 4-5 weeks for growth. I am still waiting. So they will be going up over the next weeks.
Ok. Thanks. I'm excited to get started!
So I have a question; instead of making spore print on paper, couldn't you just place cap down on your soil mixture and cover container for 24 hours? Then the spores would grow directly in your medium??
Yep.

Sir I’m interested in growing my own mushrooms . Did you have any luck with your experiments ?
I actually went to kits as I just don't have the time do it from scratch.
Can you plz add other parts to description or pin to the comments the other parts?
i take my spores in a sterile environment, and i lay the caps on aluminium foil. For mutlyple days, super dence spore prints you have than
I've seen someone put a couple drops of water on the top of the cap then covered it with a cup or whatever and in 24 hours they had an extremely dense print
This is a great video! Thanks!
One question though: Can I grow mushrooms without getting the spore sprints? What if I just scrape the gills off into my substrate ? Will that work the same (minus germination time)?
I am just not well poised with mushrooms. In theory it should work.
That's what I was thinking... I mean, spore printing is literally collecting the spores... I was thinking, setting it on paper doesn't magically create spores, so, as long as the spores get into the substrate one way or another, it should be the same....
For some reason, my mushrooms are not even producing spores it's been almost 48hrs and nothing :( Maybe they are white spores and I can't see them.
grow them in the best environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be placed outside (I read these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower website )
There are a few tips you can try
select the top variety - there are lots available.
grow them in the right conditions - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be placed outdoors
(I learned these and why they work on Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
its not very often Ive been impressed but this video certainly caused me to say wow but have you looked at the site called gregs mushroom grower just google for it
I’ve been reading the comments but I don’t understand why it’s so important to avoid contamination. Isn’t it like sowing plant seeds in that you just need to pull out the weeds? Surely mushrooms have survived millions of years without clean substrate?
There substrate usually doesnt have a mix of good and bad microbes like in the earth. So if some bad mold starts growing it usually gets out of control. There isnt anything to stop it and it has perfect growing conditions.
What to do with these print? How the print would grow Mashroom, I really can't get.
Prints are spores. Spores can grow mycelium.

I dont. Sometimes in garden groups you can put the need out there and a lot of people respond.
Hi Gary just wondering what brand of white button mushrooms you bought because I tried making spore prints it just made the a4 sized paper really wet.
Just from the store.
Thanks Gary.
corgis rule asinas use foil
I tried using very clean foil and it still did not work

One time, I blended a half pound of mushrooms in water and sprayed it all over my land in Hawaii. I didn't get 1 mushroom. What is wrong with my logic. I even sprayed it where other mushrooms were growing. Under logs, etc.
Inject in substrate next time
I throw mushroom offcuts from cooking outside and mushrooms do grow. Problem outside is unsuitable temps. So they won't grow to order.
does it acctully work?

@@albertmerlew I've eaten nine grams before, well, ninety grams of fresh mushrooms made into tea with lemon. You probably want to have some kind of downer at hand, alcohol, benzodiazepines, etc it's intense! You can buy spore syringes online for ten dollars or less.
What vendor do you use? And how many mushrooms will normally grow?
Im trying to do it with two types of mushrooms. 1. bella 2. white mushroom. I would appreciate if you could type it out as i cant follow through as being deaf. Why the mushrooms facing down on the paper? Whats next? Thanks
The gills are under the mushroom. That is where the spores fall from. If you put them face/ gill down the spore fall to the paper and leave a print.
The print is actually made from spores.
Now I am experimenting. So those spores have to go in a substrate or growing medium which I made on the second video. However it can take 4-6 weeks for the spores to do their thing and grow mycelium. That is what I am waiting to happen.
Total new experiment for me. Oh you scrape of the spores from the paper or cut them into thin strips and put them in the substrate.
Gary, Thank you for all the info. I have already started my first time experiment last night. I'm totally excited even some of them i know laugh at me. Let alone laugh at me. I am always learning new things and love to save myself some money instead of going to the corporation grocery stores to buy expensive produce. I am waiting for the print to be on a paper. I have already set up my coffee ground and sawdust mixed in and sterilize. I have made a list of things of what i did and waiting to see if i pass or fail. boy, this is a great way to learn and make it right.
Who I am, what I am going for is.....all organic. Let me know how it go for you.
instead of a substrate, im trying the growing medium. The next mushroom, shitakes etc...ill try the substrate as they say its easier.
Would you rather buy the spawn/spores or make your own? As for me, I rather make my own and not buy it. Why, its marketing and that is why. :)
how long do you keep it face down? I had mine for 4 days and rotten and got moldy and foul smell. sigh :( I need to prep it better again. Other than that Ill buy the spores or mycelium from the Button mushroom and the portebella.
Tip: if you use black paper it will be easier to see the spores.
Thanks so much

Supposedly you are to collect the spores from the print and then make an inoculation from it and inject it into the substrate you chose but you must do everything in a sterile environment.. there are several videos for that here also. I am in the process of doing that right now I just laid my Portobello on the paper an hour ago.. I have the sterilized grain ready with the syringe to inoculate it as soon as it is ready...
No success for me. Let us know how you do. I think I kept my substrate to soggy. No molds or fungus. Just to soggy.
Gary Pilarchik I am trying a few different things, may not be the norm but I like pushing things Let's see.
I got lots of Portobello spores last night am going to grow on substrate of coffee grounds and saw dust (home made) My Oyster shroom spores are growing on Jointer Biscuits !!! in a jar...
Cherokee Rose Please share the outcomes. I watched a guy grow oyster mushrooms on cardboard from thin slices. That will be in my next video. No growth yet. First round is a fail. But I also didnt grow any molds or fungus as I mentioned. I just check everything.
I started the cardboard for oysters that I bought fresh. It is in the closet that is pretty chilly and dark, it set it in a plastic container,,, I know I shouldn't have but I peeked and I see more spore growth. I have a huge glob of spores surrounding my jointer biscuits. I am trying spore prints next for Portobello. Soon
How to make a growing substance?
☝️☝️☝️☝️ hey look up the handle for shrooms grow kits spores etc
murel mushrooms are grow like this process
No, morel mushroom is mycorrhizal mushrooms
How do you plan to germinate the spores Gary?
Still learning. But I will show it in the next video. You make a substrate they like and see what happens. Wood chips, straw and other things based on the mushroom. A lot of people use cardboard. Most mushroom like cellulose to grow on.
Gary the problem your going to have is contamination. Because your spore print is not sterile your manure substrate will cause contam. What you might have to is use your spore prints and try to make a liquid culture then dump the liquid culture in to your manure substrate. Also you will have to pasteurize the substrate before adding the spores. I haven't grown myself - but do have a portabella experiment outdoors. I am patiently waiting to see if i get portabellas. Look up liquid culture. Good luck! I am rooting for ya! :) I had portabella's show up as volunteers but that was a total fluke.
sumip90x I'm pretty good at growing green mold, lol. I originally started with the spore print and made some but switched to the clone after research. As you know it's almost impossible without the right equipment.
Yeah even if you get the spores to germinate in a liquid culture that doesn't mean your out of the woods.. Then trying to isolate a strain that's actually produces is the next challenge. I am also going to cloning route. I just picked up a big portabella yesterday and trying some experiments to see if i can get a culture started. Oysters on the other hand.. no problemo.. That's easy. I give Gary credit :) this is no easy experiment.
sumip90x It can be done. 2015! We know what to do, lol. Portobello from the store this year.
Hey bro use foil ...........why would you use a absorbable material
I can't find anything else from this supposed series, why is that?
I went to his homepage and typed "mushrooms" into the search field and found them all, there are 6 videos in the series. Edit, actually I can't find part 6 of 6, all the others are there though.
If I do this on the paper toilet can the micylium will be contaminated
I dont know.
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN you have the print of the mushroom on the paper how can you transfer to the serange
I am extremely lazy. Could I just bury the entire mushroom hoping it grows into more mushrooms?
+wsj90622 It is possible. I havent tried it or seen it anywhere. But I know people that composted mushroom parts and they grow. It is not easy though.
you dont have to scrape the spores off the paper, put the paper in the substrate the way it is.
Thanks

Did you make those prints from mushrooms you bought at a grocery store??
Holy shit you did.
Well...
Gonna have to go ona serious mushroom shopping trip
learrus Grocery store and a organic grocery store. I will be doing update video next week. Have not been able to get them to grow... yet.
There is another video around here that shows how to get mycilia growing from the stumps of the mushrooms from the store, maybe try that too.
I think it'll be better, when You use aluminum foil instead of paper
Yeah I saw foil too. Seemed easier to scrape. I might just cut the cards up. I plan to experiment with lots of ways to start the spores. I will also be starting them to create my own spawn in small jars. Well at least I hope so.
How do you see a white spore print on white Paper >.< whoops
Order from mush_trips on Instagram. They've got shrooms and the grow kits
I have spent months studying growing mushrooms at home and discovered an awesome website at gregs mushroom grower (check it out on google)
Thanks

And then what? you just put the paper in whatever you growing in too ?
You can cut it up and but it in your growing medium.
One last question and can I just keep them prints in the freezer?
@@Sklevel88 I heard some just put them sealed in ziplock and they are good to go for years without freezing needed.
No follow up? Failed?
Never got to make the rest. Partial success as button caps are hard to get growing. A black mold showed up. I know grow wine caps. Much easier.

Your moving to much and you don't want spores you want to use flesh
Buttons are hard best to start of with some oyster mushrooms
If you want to learn how to grow properly I can show as I farm with oyster, shiitake and loins mane
Thanks.
Those are dangerous to grow. Hard to identify. I recommend you get good at identification before growing and grow favorable mushrooms. Look at my channel. And I'd read alot more. Look alikes can mimic other mushrooms and kill you . Happens all the time to pickers and growers.
Thanks
Atrocious video. spores are germinated on agar and prints taken under STERILE conditions, NOT OPEN AIR. you could have found stem butts of agaricus bisporus with live mycelium and used those to colonize a suitable media. your moisture rate is not the biggest issue, it is mostly air permeability and poor viability of tissue culture, i.e. inaccurate methods. Effectively your stuff died out because of "root rot" (mycelium need to breath just like a vegetable root that cant stand waterlogging) and poor material viability. cultivation is not hard per se but the devil is in the details; one wrong and welcome to contamination or more likely, zero growth.
I see you are not a teacher. It was an experiment.
no you don't see anything. Nowhere in the title of your time wasting and possibly misleading craptastic video do you mention failure, inaccuracy of technique, or that no one should follow even 1 iota of any of what you did. after you failed to germinate any spores in your error-riddled nonsensical attempt, you should have either removed the video or amended your title. There is too much bad cultivation information out there and as a cultivator I am sure you get frustrated by it yourself. The myco community does not need any more crap info being spread that confuses or deters new growers. no one cares that you made a ton of popular videos for new growers of vegetables; these videos are BAD and will deter a ton of new mushroom growers after they fail miserably. Why are you even on here pretending to be an expert when you can't even consult basic cultivation techs??????? wouldn't you attempt to understand the way any of it works or how others do it before pretending to teach others? I am getting VERY sick of seeing amateurs mis-instruct.
Wow, harsh! Guess it was too difficult to make your point in a kinder fashion? As a cultivator myself, I can use my own discernment when looking for info online and always appreciate kindness amongst my fellow cultivators and human beings. There's enough unnecessary rudeness as it is. Sheesh
I note you have not posted any videos on how to do it ! The presenter made it clear he had never done this before and he has invited comments and also for other people to "learn together with him" . He never said he was an expert. It is clear the presenter was trying to help others. It is good that you contribute and point out any errors made but you could do so in a more polite manner.
Really rude....
