GROW YOUR OWN REISHI MUSHROOMS, Easy Monotub Method 

Awesome 👊 let me know how it goes, I always love hearing other growers experiences with the techniques I use.

They did great in that medium tub, even better than I expected. Having a blast growing in these 👊

That was very unexpected and interesting. Still not sure why that happened as they typically like to fruit most at the bag interface in filter patch bags.

Will do, thank you for watching.

I was somewhat surprised at how well they did, next time I'll see if I can get them to conk out. Thanks for watching as always 😁

I was pleasantly surprised how they turned out, thanks for watching and commenting 🧡

They are really cool looking and very easy to grow. Let me know how it works out for you 👍

Also microppose and mycology Simplified are 2 of my fav sites.

And I didn't get clips with mine! Is that something new?

​@@SporeWhore661I think it all depends on where you get yours. I got that size off of Amazon with no clips. I also got the smaller ones from Midwest Grow (I think) and that also did not come with clips. There was another supplier or two that did have the clips though, but fewer sizes and different pricing 🤷‍♀️😊 The small ones are fitting my space and needs beautifully, but they're not very common.

All the tubs from Microppose.com should come with the clips I believe. If you purchased them from there I would let them know so they can get you a set.

@@RenegadeMushrooms I ordered it through Amazon awhile back, honestly I don't have any problems without them. Just gotta be careful and clean

They do take awhile to grow, but you can notice a tiny change from day to day. They also grow towards your light source, so by rotating the container you can make them grow into interesting shapes.

Cool, let me know how your grow goes, good luck 👊

I've grown them a bazillion times this way and they've always gotten that haze near the bottom. I don't think it's spores or mold. Reishi spores are chocolate brown. My best guess is it's hard water deposits from the misting/ultrasonic humidification but not sure. Our water is pretty hard here.

When I've let them go til they're about maxed out I've gotten them to about 20 inches. These were harvested early in the video because I needed the space. They will continue to grow for months if you let them. Thanks for watching 👊

I have a video on how I process conks. Antlers are pretty much the same except not as much slicing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viVI3-J2-Pc.html

I've always found that they develop mold indoors after the first flush. I would recommend burying the blocks outdoors for the second flush.

That's right 👍

That's awesome you made a homemade steam sterilizer. It depends how high you go with the bran. I routinely use 5% with just my quick in-bag pasteurization method and don't get any contams. If you want to go to 20%, I use a 12 hour extended cooler pasteurization, not sure what the equivalent time would be for your steam sterilizer. Here's my cooler vid for 20% if you haven't seen it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JvNtq0pVyxk.htmlsi=7WTvjXNOLaF_Vxtc

Yes, 5 lbs. of fully colonized grain spawn goes into each tub.

Kings need a little more fresh air than Reishi. You can still use the tub, but I recommend having the holes wide open to get air exchange from the room and using a small humidifier to maintain the internal humidity. I show that method in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ywDfm6UNUEY.htmlsi=JS9GXOSNSqw3mcpT

@@RenegadeMushrooms Thank you for the feedback, and video link! I will check it out. The mycelium will probably also thank you 🙂

- 6 lbs. dry oak pellets - 8 lbs. 4 oz. boiling water for pasteurization and hydration, so 14 lbs. 4 oz. total substrate weight. Once the substrate cools to room temp add 5 lbs. of grain spawn. Less spawn would work, but spawning heavy reduces contam risk.

Any hardwood pellets would probably work fine, but they do seem to like oak. Lately I've just been buying the Bear Mountain oak pellets used for pellet grills. They're a little more expensive but not bad.

Not for me no, if you follow the recipe in the video they basically grow themselves as long as you have good genetics. I highly recommend the Reishi strain from Field & Forest products. LC syringe is around $30. I've had the same culture going for 12 years.

No, not necessary for Reishi. I do spawn heavy for extra nutrients though. 5 lbs. of grain per tub.

@@RenegadeMushrooms I've had 2 different attemps with Masters Mix and only managed 1 sad little antler. I'll definitely try this method...although this past weekend, I found a beautiful huge shelf while hiking so I'll process that for now. Great vid!

@@coryg7051 Cool, let me know how it works for you. Genetics is super important too. I highly recommend the G. lucidum strain from Field & Forest Products. Thanks for watching and commenting 👊

Not sure on that. Last time I checked, if your annual sales were under $5,000 and you follow organic practices, you can call your product organic. Sales over $5,000, you need USDA certification. That was a long time ago though, so the rules may have changed.

@@RenegadeMushrooms thanks bro ,so you mean under $5000 we don’t need usda certificate right?

@@RenegadeMushrooms bro I have one more question,! Right now I was building in my garage. Some buckets are fruit and harvest but I don’t sale any mushrooms. so I need to registration any documents from our government?? I’m living in TX
