@@banditbanger13 Sure my friend. I have troubles getting soybean hulls here. I am trying on luzerne alfalfa pellets and hardwood or strawpellets for oysters. Take my e-mail grower@der-glueckspilz.de
It would be massivley interesting if you could share your culture planning. How do you calculate and manage the timing and spacial distribution of the different production steps? What's your system to achieve a certain weekly quantity of a culture? Hope I don't ask for to much. Sincere thanks for your content. Greetings from Bavaria.
once you spawn to agar you can make a limitless amount of culture very easily.. you would only put 1/8th or 1/16th of an agar sample into a quart jar of liquid culture, which means you can easily innoculate as many bags as you need at that point, while also transferring a bit of your liquid culture onto another agar, to repeat. You dont want to do that too much though, so you can clone one of your fruiting bodies to agar, to isolate strong genetics and keep your culture from losing potency over multiple transfers.. of course, you need a flowhood for ALL of these things
I'm growing some of these right now, and have yet to have pinning occur and it's been in the fruiting chamber for over a week. Can I cold shock these into fruiting kinda like shittakes?
Hi! Elm oysters (genus: hypsizygus) in the wild have gills that attach to the top of the stem, as opposed to true oysters (genus: pleurotus) having gills that run down the stem. Do elm oysters change appearance when grown inside, similar to the flammulinas?
@Adams In my narrow experience, LSD and magic mushroom sellers have little to no knowledge on gourmet mushroom identification. Also I already got the some of answer I was looking for, though not in full: In the US you can buy cultures and spawn for something called white elm mushroom, which actually is not an elm mushroom but rather a white strain of some oyster. Which oyster it is, I don't know. My guess is phoenix oyster or a phoenix-blue hybrid.
I'm still waiting for your best recipe for Oysters mushrooms, and your best Foxie Lady's solo. [I just discovered that they have the consistency and almost the taste of fried lamb chops if deep fried with eggs and crumbs batter]
I love your videos so much. If I ever traveled out there, would you accept some free low-level labor? I'd love to see more of the business that you've grown. Also what do you do with all of the discarded biomaterial and trimmings? I always wondered this.
My farm in Alaska gives away all spent substrate to local community gardens, I have heard about quite a few farms doing this. Be curious about what he does as well.
Just a suggestion for the future, leave the mask on and either fix the sound in post, or add a voice over? Either way, I'm more concerned for your health & safety. Thanks for another great and informative video.
I don't know if there are many mics that would work with a respirator like that. Perhaps look into an active filtration mask/helmet. They weigh a bit, and they're a little spendy, but they create a positive pressure, so they don't need to be totally sealed. Highly recommended for folks sporting heavy chin whiskers.
I do like your business. I am concern about sporous in my room, so this one shows up as a less sporous option. its just to my self as a start. I want to use a air steralizer to have clean air to in and out. And when I will to statt my Mush company, I will to use full dust clouther protection. I think all the companies need to use a steralizer to get out the air to the open environment. this can be dengerous. I have 8 cats now, living at a micro apartment and will , maybe , to do a glowing with that in out air control. the flow will to be reduced, but if that intention is to reduce the carbonate at the air, the steralixrr will to do the job. Thats my option now. I can do a kind of tube going out until the outside at the rooftop.
@Southwest Mushrooms What's with all the mist/smoke in the tents? I read 99F on the termometer, which is 37 degrees celcius? Which is pretty damn hot. So the heat obviously aint from cooling effects. Why is it so much mist flying around?
There are 2 species of elm oyster mushroom. One is Hypsizygus ulmarius and the other is Pleurotus ostreatus var. Florida. Could you tell me which species you are showing in your video please?
Hi, Can you please tell me can you grow the Elm Mushrooms on straw or sugarcane or do I need hardwood sawdust. Your answer would be very much appreciated. I love your videos. Cheers, Gerrit
In an older video, you said to use scissors to get the mushrooms off the block, and not to rip them off. Why the change? Perhaps it was a different species?
Absolutely right, Wayde-different species require different harvesting techniques. Also, how the cultivators cut open the bags, as well as strain isolation genetics and vigor of mycelium mat/hyphae, will often determine cropping of fruit bodies and harvest techniques. Some species naturally crop in a bunched group from a central hyphal knot, like elm or even lions mane-so these are easier to twist off the production blocks given the mushroom mass and small attachment area to block. But a lot of your single stemmed fruit bodies, like shiitake, the production block actually recovers more efficiently if you slice/cut the fruit bodies off the surface versus trying to twist pull all the stems out of block, which would crater the block and open it up to contaminates and slow recovery. Interestingly if you look at the cropping of a great top fruit’er, like black poplar, you can do side block grouped fruiting with it, which may help with harvest but at a detriment of production block biological efficiency and unfavorable fruit body size for current market.
@@apd6893 wow thanks! I don't grow but I'm sure your reply could be helpful for others. I love mushrooms, and listening to this guy talking about them! :)
Anyone know the ratio of inoculating blocks to produce 20 lbs a week? Meaning i do 9 lb blocks and want to do 20lbs per week. How blocks do you inoculate and fruit to achieve my desired lbs per week. Be a nice video to educate people on.
Three things I have seen multiple requests for: 1. A recipe book. If you don’t have enough recipes for a book maybe some of the local chiefs and natural health enthusiasts could contribute. Make it a local thing. 2. Write a book. It would be so interesting to hear about how and when your interest started. Something divided between a how to and a autobiography. Finally #3. Offer a apprenticeship program. You would charge to teach people your method of growing mushrooms. This could possibly turn into a franchise situation. You should absolutely consider franchising! The health and environmental benefits would be wonderful.
fyi, if you were dealing with something more hazardous than spores, that awesome beard would be a no-no. you're technically supposed to have the seal of the mask contacting bare skin. again, it's probably fine as long as you aren't experiencing symptoms of spore exposure. 3M, osha, the cdc, and noish have good documents on the subject.
Why not make some trays? If you can make $1600 a month with 50 hours a week, that’s really good. That’s manager’s salary. Those shrooms are going straight to the universities and watch factories I bet.

While it’s easy to understand, as an ill-informed UA-cam viewer only, why you commented, ‘take the mask off’ but it’s hard to take you seriously when you didn’t watch the whole video nor care about the safety protocols of the people providing you free content. My recommendation: comment when you’re well-informed or asking an engaging question to forward the community discussion. If you don’t want to take the time or care or high-level critical thinking that is involved with legal entrepreneurial mycology pursuits then find I suggest watching other videos or googling ‘monotub’ Thank you and I wish you well.
Yeyyy new vid. I'm a few days before opening my commercial grow in Germany. Thanks to every UA-camr sharing wisdom
I’m also a grower, from Slovenia... these videos are great!
Since we are both in EU, maybe we could share information (best sources for materials, spawn,...)?

Schöne Grüße von der Olympic penninsula! Hier wachsen viele Pilze!
Man I have so many questions about commercial growing in your home, and you answered one of them in this video. Much gratitude.
New to mushrooms and have recently been learning about this variety. They dont look much but i think they are so beautiful!
I’m so glad you brought up the mask wearing. I guessed that spores might be an issue so thanks for the past lesson learned story. Cheers.
It always brings a smile to my face when I see a new upload from Southwest Mushrooms!
Hello, from Lake Baikal. We have wild oyster mushrooms growing in the forest. I am your admirer. I wish you success!
Some beautiful shots of the mushrooms, thank you! I love this channel!
Literally finished binging all your vids last night. Happy to come home from work to see a new one 😊
Love you man. I'm inspired by you to make a mushroom urban farm here in Brazil!
That’s All buckets of fried chicken!

Love your videos. Helps me decompress at the end of the day. You should do a video of the farmers market operations.
Southwest at it again 👍👍👍 thanks for the great info!!
I'm growing some of these right now, and have yet to have pinning occur and it's been in the fruiting chamber for over a week. Can I cold shock these into fruiting kinda like shittakes?
Thanks for bringing this info to the masses. I love this stuff.
I could binge this all day
That's what I have been doing lol

Always very informative i truly appreciate that.

How do you deal with rehydrating the blocks between harvests? Do you just add water directly to the bags or do you not rehydrate?
What is the fruiting time of the elm oysters. My ones takes 7-10 days more to be ready to harvest
I heard rinsing them off well in cold water will mostly stop the spores. Is this true?
Mike please post Lions Mane harvest! I tried growing top-fruit like you do, but it's a nightmare to harvest for us (so much substrate comes off!)
Yeah! They are challenging
what type of lights (led strips? wattage / colour)? are you using inside the grow tents? thanks
That's so cool!
What size bag do you use? THANKS??!!
Really interesting.
Southwest Mushrooms
AWESOME
Awesome vid. ❤️ 🍄
Hey Mike, how do you feel about self healing ports on the substrate bag to inoculate?
Great videos! Is it possible to find sporeless white oyster mushrooms?
Great Video!!!😍
For the next flush will the mushroom fruit from the same spot? Or do you make a new incision in the bag for fruiting?
I love your videos so much. If I ever traveled out there, would you accept some free low-level labor? I'd love to see more of the business that you've grown.

Totally agree, I could here just fine when he was wearing the mask, so probably adding a clip-on mic is the best solution?
I don't know if there are many mics that would work with a respirator like that. Perhaps look into an active filtration mask/helmet. They weigh a bit, and they're a little spendy, but they create a positive pressure, so they don't need to be totally sealed.

And where do you source your boxes, size and or a link.
Do you ever cook some up on site, for a snack??
