Just a friendly public reminder from a fellow Tennessean, you created some mighty fine Copperhead environments there. So be careful and look where you walk and where you stick your hands when around those mushroom “log cabins”.

@NaturesAlwaysRight 3 года назад

@serenddaear5471 3 года назад

I'd recommend this for shiitake (and other wood lovers) but it's a bit much for oyster mushrooms.. much easier to stick with straw and buckets/beds

@kathleaneoleary4734 Год назад

I know this is a 2 year old video but I thought I'd add my comment anyway - I use mushroom plugs from Field and Forest and they sent the collar for the drill but I found that no matter how much I tightened it, it would eventually slip up so using the tape was a more accurate (and less time consuming) method as it was easier to see if the tape moved because the movement was just that the tape became scrunched up rather than pushed up higher on the drill bit.

I just got my shiitake mushroom plugs a couple days ago and in the coming weeks, I plan to do a similar RU-vid video. Thanks for already doing this as a good reference. Edit: By the way, not everyone can eat mushrooms raw, I think it is 10% of the population get a very serve rash eating some mushrooms raw.

@NaturesAlwaysRight 3 года назад

Have fun setting them up! Ya mushrooms should only be eaten cooked.

@HippocratesGarden 2 года назад

also, if you're doing really hard woods, like white oak etc, and / or a whole lot of logs.. definitely use the angle grinder and make sure it is 7.5amp or larger. I tried a Ryobi one+ with 4-9ah battery and it was too weak, tried a cheap corded one, still weak. Ended up getting a Milwaukee 11 amp and it's rocking.

Hey there. Thanks for sharing this Steven. I wonder? Is it difficult to harvest the mushrooms when they are stacked this way? I remember you did a mushroom video soon after you moved into your new property. You laid them out on top of tables made out of wood pallets. That way seems like it would be much easier harvesting. How are those mushrooms doing? I want to do shitake mushrooms in logs and I want to grow wine caps in my food forest wood chip floor. Very exciting. I can't wait to do this. Great video Steven, thanks again.

@NaturesAlwaysRight 3 года назад

When they start fruiting I'll re-stack them in an A frame style I think to make it easy. Have fun setting yours up!

great, just learning about this log growing technique. I was given a log about 12'" tall and about 3" in diameter. inoculated with what I believe is oyster mushrooms. I am considering the idea of making a sort of stand and have it on a shaded area in the back yard. is this plausible or how would you recommend to have it set till it fruits. Thank you.

@sebmathewsvideo 3 года назад

Looking good! Can’t wait to try this in Maryland. Have you looked into truffles and how to grow them?

@NaturesAlwaysRight 3 года назад

Thanks Sebastian. I believe almost all truffles are wild harvested. Farming them is very difficult but I should look into it!

@BaltimoresBerzerker 3 года назад

I'm rocking out a mush grow myself. I just got on professional status, made my own agar, got Petri dishes, doing clones, etc. If you have any questions hmu dude.

@FurNaxxYT 3 года назад

I have no clue if this applies to other truffles but: smart shops in Amsterdam were forced to switch to magic truffles rather than magic mushrooms due to laws. The "truffles" they cultivate are capable growing as both sclerotia underground truffle and fruiting above ground mushroom. When they grow into sclerotia, it's to conquer environmental stresses. In order for these smart shops to grow this species into truffles they must keep a very specific microclimate otherwise they'll want to grow into mushrooms. But again idk if this applies to all truffles, or if this is a linguistic nuance to keep their operations running

@BaltimoresBerzerker 3 года назад

@@FurNaxxYT huh. I'm not sure to be honest. Sounds like they're selling mycelium puff balls. Because psilocybin can still form mushroom bodies while buried under substrate. On the other hand, it can mutate and stabilize into an Enigma, which looks more like brain tissue.

@thomasa5619 2 года назад

@ourhomesteadjourney1775 3 года назад

Oh Steven I’m so envious. Arizona is so dry, BUT we had compost mushrooms growing in our greenhouse beds in the winter when the greenhouse was all closed up. It was very moist and warm but not hot. Maybe we could dedicate a greenhouse to grow them in bags and double shade cloth. 🤔 what’s the maximum temperatures they will grow to? Thanks!-miranda and James

@NaturesAlwaysRight 3 года назад

Hey guys, as long as you could keep the temps from getting out of control it's definitely possible in a greenhouse. I'm not super sure but I don't think it should go beyond 90F in a greenhouse situation. I'd do some research on it I'm just giving my best guess.

@campster00 3 года назад

Great video, thanks! I have tons of sweet gum trees I'm clearing. Any idea if those are okay to use for mushrooms?

@BaltimoresBerzerker 3 года назад

Every species has a different preference of substrate or wood it likes to feed on. You would have to do specific research

Im a lover of mushrooms but don’t have an ideal place to store and keep logs. Also yours is the first vlog I have found that shows step by step.

@HippocratesGarden 2 года назад

The spacing between plugs / spawn holes, has nothing to do with the size of the mushroom, but the rate at which the log is colonized. The spawn will spread a bit faster, but either way, more holes, more spawn, faster colonization.

@davidchang8428 2 года назад

I live in Minnesota: when would you inoculate your logs? Also: is there a promo code for Field and Forest?

@NaturesAlwaysRight 2 года назад

I'd inoculate right now after logs have set 2 weeks after cutting. No promo thanks for asking though.

@BaltimoresBerzerker 3 года назад

Lol watching you inoculate, touching the mycelium with your bare hand activated my OCD! That won't cause contamination for those varieties?

@jeil5676 3 года назад

Colonized substrate is not considered vulnerable to contamination. Its most vulnerable when sterile and not yet colonized.

@NaturesAlwaysRight 2 года назад

Hmm depends how much you can eat but I think we did 20-25 shiitake logs. I'd say that's enough for a family of 4. I'd do 50 for what you are describing, but also depends how much you are able to move at your market. Drying for later use or sale is another option which is why I'm a big fan for homestead or sale. So far only bugs have gotten ones that we didn't get to in time or got rained on and started rotting.

He mentioned to use live trees.

@BaltimoresBerzerker 3 года назад

Different species of mushroom prefer different substrate and wood. Do a quick Google search on the variety you have. If they're not growing, try raising the humidity, moisture, and heat. Put it in a clean tote, spray boiled (purified) water after it cools down and close the lid. Mushrooms love 90%+ humidity levels.
