Coffee Grounds into Mushrooms - Making more from Workshop waste

Six weeks ago I was given some Blue Oyster Mushroom mycelium by Marley at Super Fungi, to try in my Coffee and Sawdust Briquette mix.
I mixed it all up and left it for 5 weeks. Then after a couple of nights in the fridge it was time..
Will I get 'Pinning'?
Pinning is the start of the growing process, and the Mushrooms shouldn't be too far behind the Pins.
Follow along to see if I can make a food from my waste Sawdust and Coffee grounds.!!

It’s fun to watch your ventures using waste products! Good luck on the mushrooms!

I know it's not woodworking, but it's brilliant what waste can be used for. Heat, food.. What next?

Hi everyone. The short of this has done alright, about 534 views. But I'm trying the same video out in 16:9 as a very short (long form) video. Why?. Because views are really incredibly low right now. And 97% of my viewers are not subscribed. Which means pretty much every person who sees this is new to my channel and could potentially SUBSCRIBE. So please enjoy this very short video, say hi and where you're from. Also, the mushrooms are growing really well. A longer video, with more info coming along very soon. Jamie

Amazing that you can grow mushrooms just using waste sawdust and coffee grounds. Do you use the same sawdust/coffee grounds ratio as for the fuel? Look forward to your next video and the extra info! Many thanks 👍

Hi Sue. Yes it's the same mix. It's getting very interesting lately.

@Norbingel Месяц назад

I wonder if the best thing to do would be to grow mushrooms then use the spent substrate for briquettes. That way, you squeeze what nutrients you can from them before using them for fuel. Iirc, I saw a video that said mold was the biggest concern with using coffee grounds. I think they had to sterilize them in some way. Interested in what results you get.

I agree, but I'm just learning mushrooms. I think everyone talks about Coffee grounds in a negative way. I've got them mixed with sawdust and after 2 months they're pH neutral (6) I know this because I've bought a tester and it's wonderful soil. People don't get all the fact right. There would be a huge difference if the Coffee and sawdust was mixed today and planted today. You get what I mean?

@Norbingel Месяц назад

@@twcmaker I'm not sure I do. Are you saying mold wouldn't be an issue when using coffee grounds as a mushroom substrate? Or are you referring to how people say they're too acidic for plants? We have a farm and we use coffee (when we have them). They're fine as long as you compost them rather than putting them straight onto plants. The coffee itself might be acidic but the grounds themselves arent really.

What did you innoculate your substrate with mate? If my back can settle down, might go looking for some chicken of the woods!

Hi James. I was given some Blue Oyster mycelium at the Hay On Wye book festival. Mixed in a bucket for 5 weeks. 48 hours in the fridge, then a few days later it was how it is in the video. The thumbnail was today after 6 days from the fridge.

@twcmaker Месяц назад

That chicken of the woods was very good 👍 👍 👍
