Grow Mushrooms at Home In A 5 Gallon Bucket (Easy - No Sterilization!) 

Have literally no intention of growing mushrooms, still watched the entire thing.

you should paint the buckets like tree stumps for fun

Thank you! This is the simplest process I've seen anyone advise, and perfect for my family, my kids are the ones growing all our mushrooms so the simpler the better. We've really been enjoying the blue oyster mushrooms we had in 5lb bags in the laundry room and were hoping to scale up production. I appreciate you mentioning the pet store as an easy source of woodchips too, thanks for the tip! Amazon is crazy expensive for that.

crazy the difference in handling with your process compared to others. the others i've watched are so concerned about cross contamination and maintaining perfect pasteurization. but if it works it works.

Why was this recommended to me and why did I click it ? 😂

Damn, RU-vid out here trying to teach me how to grow mushrooms.

There’s a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can’t wait to try any of them mushrooms specifically but it’s just so hard to find a reliable source over here, I’ll be glad if anyone can be of help

Before watching, Its good to see a video that I wont have to get sterilized before trying myself. You wouldn't believe how many mushroom tutorials say its a "MUST" to be sterile first.

IDK how i got here. But i'm hitting the Subscribed button

Me: RU-vid: You wanna learn how to never run out of mushrooms?

I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking mushrooms few months ago, I feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone, lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven't yet felt the need to take any more since then.* 0:10

Just cooked up my first batch of mushrooms I grew. Your bucket video helped so much! I like your common sense approach and the results were FABULOUS! Thank you!

If you ever want your bucket back just use flex tape.

Today i Learned how to make a motorized coffee table with a projector hidden in it and how to grow mushrooms in a 5 gallon bucket. I will never do either of these things but at least i know #themoreyouknow

I find this video educational. I love oyster mushrooms because of their health benefits. I am always intrigued about how they are grown. Now that I have seen how it is done, one question that comes to mind, is how do you keep bugs away? I see damped wood chips in a closed buck with holes, are a perfect place for some bugs to multiple. I know this video is old, but I would be grateful if you can comment. Thanks.

Oyster mushrooms are so yummy! I grew them in a 5-gallon bucket one time as well but used pasteurized straw instead. That worked well too.

Should totally do a time lapse of the mushrooms growing!

I don't know why this appeared in my recommended but this is amazing

Amazing and one can use this bucket as many times as possible

I found this helpful and very clear. There is no good reason to have music playing at the same time.

How long till the Smurf’s start showing up and I can start charging rent?

Looks like an exploit to me, there's no way the devs intended that...

This one seems to have a genuine and calming nature to them

Excellent info here thank you bro got some pearl oyster lc colonizing currently and needed some ideas gathered a lot here.

THROW THAT DAMN FRISBEE FOR YOUR DOG YOU DIGUS

I love that there's a warning on the bucket not to store babies in it. Omg.

Thanks SOOOO much, very informative video. I'll be doing this next spring.

Nice of you to simplify something that other presenters make much more complicate and your mushrooms look great.

Basically he made an artificial tree trunk for the shrooms to grow off of. Nice. Also a pound of organic oyster mushrooms is expensive as heck.

RU-vid has a weird way of showing me things that I've never really cared about before but here I am watching this and being entertained

This is exceptionally good video and method for growing Oyster mushrooms!!

I appreciate this video! I 1st saw it a couple of weeks ago & I got so excited about it that I was gathering my tools & drill bits the very next morning & at the same time, I had my 22 quart PC going, sterilizing the different substrates that I planned to mix together in a large tote that I thoroughly washed & wiped down inside and out with 70%ISP, including the lid. It was an all-day project & I had to run the PC 4 times for all the ingredients that were going to end up filling my bucket to the top. I just didn't have any wood chips to work with. My ingredients were coffee grounds, wood pellets, pearlite and my secret ingredient, half of a large paper grocery bag, stuffed with cannabis trimmings!😉😂👍 I didn't do any layering. I thoroughly mixed everything in tote as came out of the PC. I had barely 2# of pearl & pink oyster mycelium left over from a recent grow that hadn't gone through a second flush and when the other mixture was cool enough not to kill my mycelium, I dumped it on top and thoroughly broke it up into small pieces and mixed it all up & filled my new drilled out, washed & sanitized grow bucket right up to the top. I somehow estimated perfectly the amounts of material for my substrate. I left the filled bucket out on the deck for a few hours to drain off excess liquid before I moved it into the basement & put it on one of my dogs leftover potty pads from when he was a pup.😉 I had maybe a cup leftover in the tote, and I rinsed that out onto the top of my compost pile. And YES!, 2 days ago I carefully scratched my way into the compost pile and I have mycelium production spreading quickly through the pile.😁 My bucket is fast colonizing in the basement, with probably a couple more weeks before fruiting. I can hardly wait!!🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Next video: how to tell if your oyster Mycelium smells good

The way the bucket looked with the mushrooms growing out of it kind of just low-key creeped me out a little bit

I found mushrooms fascinating this channel is pretty cool! Subbed

Thanks Tony! I'm really happy to have found your channel, great info. I live on Vancouver Island and I'm excited to learn more about mushroom hunting and growing. New subscriber, Cheers

I wish I was as interesting as RU-vid thinks I am.

It’s 2am on a weeknight and I’m watching a guy grow mushrooms in a bucket

Thank you! I love growing mushrooms and will try this. Questions: where do you get the Aspen chips, mushroom spawn? I live in an oak forest and have native morels and shiitake planted about ten years ago.

This is so clever! Thank you for this!

Me: mildly into plants RU-vid recommendations: get to farming

He must be a fellow Canadian because the only way we say “about” is “a-boat”

Started doing this exact method and I have some pinning happening!! So excited

Thank you for your time and good and easy idea to grow Mushroom

0:31 you can tell its aspin chips because of the way it is

Ahhh finally I can make potions of weakness

Nice result! Looks good

Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.

Wow, i guess there *IS* a use to drilling some holes into a bucket.

In order to do this successfully you’ve gotta be a funguy

Thank you. I am going to do this. I have been thinking about it.

I was sure about the wood chips trick !thank you confirming me the idea 💡 🎉

"as long as it smells like healthy mycelium, then everything is good." HOW DOES HEALTHY MYCELIUM SMELL?!? xD

The only guy who didn't ask to subscribe or like the video. That's the reason I liked and subscribed to your channel. Love the way you talk mate.. keep it up.

Amazing. I’m definitely going to try this! I am in Ontario!

Thank you for this video.im from sri lanka and im going to grow mushroom in my home.So i think this is a good mushroom plantation lesson to my work.and i think it will be work because the comments are so happy about this video.if this work it will be a good help to our country

Am I the only one who's skin crawls when I saw the different stages but couldn't stop watching?

For anyone who loves mushrooms, I wanna share a recipe for mushroom snacks here. 1. Tear the oyster mushrooms(or any mushroom really) into strips, however wide you like. 2. Place mushroom strips in a bowl, add a drizzle of oil and soy sauce, pinch of cumin (really important), salt, sugar, chilli powder (optional), white sesame seeds (optional), garlic granules (optional). 3. Mix the seasonings well with the mushroom strips. 4. Place on a baking tray. Oven bake at 200 degrees Celcius, check every 10 min. When they harden(crispy) on edges and look cooked. Enjoy! 5. Or if you happen to have an AirFryer, 200 degrees Celcius for around 15 min roughly. Or check every 10 min. Pause and shake in between. Nom Nom~

Lovely to meet this video again. You were among others who inspired me to grow my own. Now they are booming :)

This was so interesting! I liked this technique bc the mushrooms were clean!

Dang it RU-vid! Now you've shown me another rabbit hole to dive into.

Nobody : RU-vid recommendations : *Hey kid, wanna grow mushrooms ?*

FYI - Straw expands 50% when you soak it. Non-organic wheat straw will likley have roundup on it which will end up in the mushrooms you eat.

Awesome! Thanks...I wanna try it in Orlando. I watched another dude grow mushrooms up north outside on white oak. He drilled into logs and had a tool that would plug the holes with spawn. Most tree trimming companies offer live oak chips for free down yee'uh.

My first time trying this method and I have to say after 5 weeks, so far, so good! My pins just popped through the holes looking perky and happy!!

im glad youre showing that you DONT need to be a neat freak and follow every single step that the mass producers do. i was really worried i HAD to sterilize everything while growing but this added some piece of mind. super insightful vid

That’s incredible!

❤❤❤❤❤I love what you doing . Very good job. God bless you ❤

This video being randomly recommended to me by RU-vid a year or two ago was what planted the idea of growing mushrooms in my head (no pun intended). Now I'm harvesting my first "from-scratch" oyster mushroom batch and they're beautiful. :) Thank you so much for inspiring us.

Me: Watches GMM, Cody Ko, and Hummy’s VR RU-vid: Did you say *mushrooms?!*

Amazing job, good upload 👌👍

Thank you for Shearing My friend

Me: I need something non-distracting to study for finals RU-vid: Watch man grow big mushrooms so u can too Me, already off to the market to get mycelium: My god you're absolutely right

Never planned to grow mushrooms, but now you've caught my attention. Thanks for the gold youtube recommendations

Tony! My man! Love this dude. His videos and info helped with all my mushroom activities ;)

I'm going to do this with a certain type of mushrooms... Thanks for the info.

Tony, thanks so much for this video. I just harvested my first few pounds of golden oyster using this method. It worked like a charm!

we use to have a mushroom farm and I think I can give few tips I noticed from it... 1) The spawn should be completely broken to grains keeping chunks will waste lot of spawn and reduces the fungus growth compared to grains 2) The moisture in chips is very important this is how I check is it right for bagging...IF YOU HOLD THE WET CHIPS IN HAND AND DROP THEM, THE WATER SHOULD EVAPERATE IMMEDIATELY 3) Never disturb the medium after packing till it completely turns white and hard 4)Placing the packed medium in clean and dark room will help it's growth My medium use to start cultivating in 10-14 days and will last a month for oyster and for milky it takes 40 days to see any signs of cultivation.

You're awesome! Thank you so much for the, very clear & understandable video!!!

Thank you for posting ♥️♥️♥️

How exciting. I am forgoing a mushroom class today because it's brutally windy to drive through miles of Australian pine trees----they fall, often---and I don't want to die. So, I decided to check YT----and, here I am. My first lesson. Thanks!!!

I clicked it for some reason. Watched the whole thing. Was I satisfied? Yes.

Thank you, for information n Explaination about Mushroom.

Hey, thanks so much for the video! I was wondering whether this technique will work for a variety of mushrooms, and whether coir could be used instead of wood chips. Thanks again!

I genuinely followed this guys instructions from beginning to end and was able to harvest my first oyster mushrooms after about 5ish weeks. Very low maintenance and I truly forgot about them at one point but I suggest to try it if you’re looking to grow something easy for yourself. I got my mushroom spawn from north spore and kept it in the fridge for a while before using it. The wood chips I got were from petco and I put it all in a standard home depot bucket. I suggest putting it in a shady spot outside because the spores may irritate some and cause excessive coughing.

This is a weird Home Depot commercial..

wow, someone is doing some drilling this weekend... Thanks man!

Amazing amazing amazing. Thank you for sharing

It’s 2am and while watching, I’m craving for some ramen with mushrooms or steak with mushroom gravy 😩😭

I have to do this. I absolutely LOVE mushrooms, and it'd be great to have some every week to add to meals, or marinate and snack on!

I literally haven't had chill bumps in many year until I watched this video.

Wow a channel about mushrooms....there really is a channel about everything

Did this a month ago and I’m finally starting to see mushrooms, thank you!!

This is amazing.I like it.

This is the most helpfull video I now know what to do.

Thank you for going to the effort of doing this, I'm taking my first serious attempt at growing mushrooms and your video really inspired and informed

Man imagine the soup u can make with those bad boys

Hi Tony. Question: Can I add wheat bran to the wood chips to supplement the nutrition? How would the pasteurization process go?

Thank you very much for sharing this.
