Career film editor here… I’ve always been very impressed at your ability to do “one take” communications and you don’t have a bunch of jump cuts like most people and to see this blooper real gave me a good chuckle
I’ve tried growing mushrooms in logs and it was a complete failure. I did so much research and matched the mushroom with the wood, I created the correct environments etc, etc. I want to give it another try, so I appreciate this video very much!
I often say that I count a growing season a success if I have learned one thing NOT to do for next year. I'm in it for the long haul and hope to make new mistakes. I tried for 5 years in a row with mushrooms, and I'm just now (last year or so) getting good harvests.
So glad I found your channel!! Just bought land in Virginia and I’m getting ready to start building and was looking for projects to do around the property. I’ve watched several of your videos already and I can’t wait to get started building some of these projects. Thank you for your inspiration!!
Thanks! I've noticed that Morels tend to pop up very near Elm trees fairly consistently around here, and often in the same spot. The ones I've been looking out for tend to show every 2 years. Not sure if others have seen the same but as long as the ground isn't dug up or disturbed greatly, this pattern repeats.
Yes I kinda heard that about mushrooms that they are similar to us! Here too ... eating bugs -- I try to keep my mouth shut but if you need to talk then they try to sneak in. I had one go up my nose today -- that is definitely nasty. We're in mosquito season here in the Columbia valley BC. Last year we had lots and lots of dragon flies in August so I'm hoping they'll be back this year in the mean time the bats are out doing the night work. We had a forrest fire north of here but the wind carries the smoke this way ... not sure what effect the smoke has on bugs. They chase me from my garden near sunset but in the morning when it's cooler they're not bad. Thank you for your extremely informative video on mushroom cultivation!!!
I have golden oyster mushrooms growing naturally on my pile of elm logs. I get dozens of large colonies of mushrooms that produce several flushes each year.
I saw a mushroom tree beside the road and asked the owner to let me know if he was going to cut it down. I hauled it home and to a buddys house. They do flush a lot of mushrooms. After almost every good rain golden oysters.
Within ten steps out my door there's a stream with four waterfalls. The spray from the waterfalls causes a constant high humidity environment even on dry days. The elm out front produces a bunch of models and it got me thinking about growing mushrooms. I then tried the bucket method packed with boiled straw then inoculated and with the high humidity here natually, I couldn't give out mushrooms fast enough. Channel called 'town sends' does a video on mushroom ketchup and I dehydrated the leftovers. I have spice blends no body else can replicate from store bought, nobody can figure out why my bbq tastes.so good and nobody can figure it out. Love these videos
We have the bottle labeled 'umami tsunami' its the consistency of Worcestershire sauce but flavor is absolutely astonishing and in a category all its own. I highly recommend making a batch
Thank you for sharing water tote hack...love being able to repurpose. Is lid left in place on purpose? If off logs can be watered naturally...asking cause I've tried to grow by logs before but unsuccessfully and want to try again. Tks JD
Thank you for this video and detailed information. Just a quick question: Is there any chance of a non-edible mushroom growing in the same log? I am so worried about picking up the wrong one and risking a bad experience! Thank you.
There is. This is avoided in part by inoculating in that window I mentioned. This insures that the type of mushroom you are introducing will have the biggest advantage and will essentially take up all of the usable real estate early on. That said, you will also know what type you introduced, and any interlopers will stand out as different.

Thanks, I suspect for me that comes from being an editor first...and wanting to make my post work easier...
Great video. Love the bloopers! Very informative. Thank you!
thanks for watching!
Bug in the eye, best part, 10/10, every time please.
Loved the outtakes!!! Nice rounded information!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks! Now THIS is something that I think I can try!!!!
Go for it!

Very informative and interesting-love the bloopers at the end😊

Love it! Glad to make a cameo!
Seems like forever ago.
All of your videos are wonderful!
Thank you so much!
Excellent - helped a lot! ThanX!

Yep, they love their elm!

THAT - SOUNDS - AMAZING!

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Thanks Marius, I appreciate it!
thanks
Thanks for watching!
My uncle grew mushrooms in his closet when I was little
Cool!
Is there a smell when using the kits and growing them inside? Which one is the fastest growing? Love the outtakes!
I grow all my mushrooms outside, but everything I have read says that there is little to know odor.
I love mushrooms! Being a gnome helps.
lol
something to think about
Had to smile. I've got a pile with shiitake, too. Only thing, i don't have a clue, wether it'll work... 😂
Yeah, we are held at the whim of the fungi...
The idea of mushrooms bein fussy is cracking me up!
So in a confined indoor space would it start to smell?
There is an earthy smell but not overpowering. Harvesting/Cooking/Drying them will have the most smell

Hi JD. I mainly do it to keep leaves and debris out of the tote....it also helps keep direct sunlight off the logs, which will dry them out.

Interesting, but this seems much more difficult than oyster mushrooms on straw. Nonetheless, good video. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, there are types of mushrooms that can be grown at all experience levels!
Found you horray
Thanks for watching!
