Hi Field and Forest! Thank you for the awesome video! My question is on micorizal fungus. I've been working on my garden a lot and see that there are many micorizal products out there, none of them fruit edible mushrooms as far as I can see. I believe there's a market for edible mushroom micorizal additions to the landscape; i know that there is no guarantee anything like a chanterelle or porcini is going to sprout, but on the same note, these other strains of mycorrhizae commercialy sold do not come with the promise of fruiting either, yet they sell. As a person with a yard and background in horticulture, I'd much rather invest in mycorrhizae that come with even a chance(even if low) of fruiting something edible vs using mycorrhizae that will certainly never provide me edible mushrooms. I'd rather invest in the 'chance' for edibles (even if it takes 15 years lol) over a product that will 'never' yield edible mushrooms. I know a lot of commercial mycorrhizae has shown to help crops, but there are many other ways of composting, feeding, placing crops to maximize yield. At the end of the day, I'd hands down buy an edible fruiting mycorrhizae product (w only chance) over mycorrhizae that will never yield edible mushrooms. Any ideas videos? Strains of micorizae? Diy? Sellers? I know long question. Thx🙂.
just enjoyed Winecap pizza - thanks for the vid. I'm wondering if by converting wood chips to fertile soil - this process also stores carbon by Winecap?
Awesome video. Thanks! I'm curious about why there is dirt at the bottom of the ones that you picked, such at that one showing at 6:41 . You said you just used straw. How did they end up growing in the dirt?
Thanks for the great identification tips - made me confident to eat them! Just got first flush of mushrooms from straw planting rings around squash (Aug. 15). Mmmmm, they are good sautéed in butter! Waiting for flushes from wood chip beds in asparagus and raspberry patches.
I am planning on growing Wine Caps to sell at a farmers market. Just how quickly does each batch grow? Also, do you have any advise for me as far as farming mushrooms?

What do you mean by you have to seed it in Spring? Does it need new spores every year?
Hey, thank you! You taught me things I hadn't known, and I love Wine Caps.

So, is straw better than woodchips? We are using a combination. Just got our very first flush and the veggies growing in those beds are super-sized!
Thank you

The Wine Cap will digest the straw and wood chips and end up with dirt on the roots. Wine Cap actually needs some sort of soil interaction to fruit!
@@FieldandForestProducts Thanks for the information.
