      @@bloodtrail2351 The reason you have never heard of a metric week is because there is no such thing as a metric week. The metric system doesn't recognize week as a unit of time (Look up International System of Units), and no country or people use 10 days as a week. The only basis for a 10 day week were some french revolutionaries that wanted to make everything decimal. 1 week = 7 days, and the conversion seen in the video was most likely a joke :)

      i thot the same. and the reason I was told was that the bag would dry out. but then you could also inject the bag with water and let the whole thing fruit. so many videos with pinning under the plastic and low fruiting. seems really odd. but then everyone is doing it so I really dunno what to say. But i did see one place in the Uk on video and they strip the plastic all the way off and have only the substrate sitting on shelves fruiting. they have like a full facility with airlocks and so on to prevent contamination and so on. but the lady said we take the plastic off and are able to get good results. So...... kinda confusing

    This was lovely, thank you for sharing your process. Do you guys have a REKO ring locally? It’s where farmers pre-sell their produce through a private social media group (run by volunteers, usually started by a farmer), and then do a fast drop off at a central location; instead of a whole market day. You don’t end up with anything left at the end of the day (or hour) because you’re only dropping off orders rather than spending time trying to sell. Anyhoo ~ good luck, and thank you for making this!

    Thanks for the video! Newbie here. What if I’ve grown them in storage containers, can I cut it up once it’s colonised? Or straight into smaller containers and no transferring? Really love the rack you made! Appreciate the video. Many thanks

    • @krste3000
      @krste3000 3 роки тому +1

      I would like to know this as well, but my guess is no. Probably because the mycelium has no more food inside the bag to produce fruiting bodies.

    thanks for your videos, very exciting work. I would like to know more about your flow controller setup you use to add water in the bag. Is it possible to show it/describe it more somehow ? I want to copy your setup. By the way, twisting the mushroom cluster when harvesting should make it easier than only pulling. I love the logs on your selling table, we do that too ;)

    • @OakandSpore
      @OakandSpore  4 роки тому +1

      I can, it's a water flow controller from Amazon. Usually I do not harvest in the room like that, but I take each bag out to my stainless steel benches. I just harvested them from the wall for the purposes of the video.

    • @DreaMeRHoLic
      @DreaMeRHoLic 3 роки тому +3

      The moshrooms roots grow inside and if you have 2 sides this just means that they fight over the space and in the end die faster, because the corners wouldnt get reached and the "main part" has been taken from the other side as well (this means less nutrients to grow and in the end.... it doesnt help).

    Absolutely love the video. I want to start my own mushroom business and I have a question about the mycelium you use to start the culture. Do you cultivate the mycelium by yourself or do you buy it pre-made? If you don't cultivate it yourself, I would love to know if you have tried it and why you concluded in the end that it was not worth it.

    Hi there from Canada. I had a question for you. What happens if you opened the mycelium bag and spread it out in an even layer on a tray or trough? Would you end up with more fruiting bodies started? How come always just a slit in the bag?

    • @russf6572
      @russf6572 3 роки тому

      I think he does that to control the amount of product. You can only sell so much before they go bad, and if you spread the whole thing out, you'll have all the shooms at once. Where as, after you cut the bunch off the hole in the bag, it starts all over again from the same bag. Controlling the amount of product. (but thats just my guess)

    • @OakandSpore
      @OakandSpore  3 роки тому +2

      You are basically simulating a log with the bags, and when you only cut one hole you force the bags to spend all its energy on a single high quality bunch. If you take the whole thing out of the bag you end up with a thousand miniature mushroom. Shiitake are different though, they are taken completely out of the bag.

      @OakandSpore  4 роки тому +1

      Not really, you can grow mushrooms with really low tech methods. Using equipment like me just means the entire growing operation is more controllable.

    • @otacon1024
      @otacon1024 4 роки тому

      Actually, you could start growing at home with maybe $50-100 invested into some jars, tubs and substrate. Fancy and expensive gear like flow hoods, PID controllers, large sterilizing barrels and ventilation/humidification systems only come into play if you're doing bulk commercial production, and even then it's more for convenience and saving time rather than a necessity.
