Happy Birthday! We grow wine caps too. We dehydrate the stems and make a mushroom powder for adding a little umami to dishes.🎉

Happy birthday 🎉 I watch a lot of cooking channels, and a tip I picked up is to start mushrooms in a dry pan for more reliable browning. You add the oil or butter after the mushrooms have started to brown. Also, rinsing mushrooms in water is perfectly fine. Mushrooms only absorb a tiny amount of water that evaporates quickly during cooking, not affecting cook time or texture.

There are those (including ex-wife and her family) who claim that "washing mushrooms" causes them to produce toxins. I've never seen any research that supports this. I grew up on a farm (sheep and milking cow), so the field mushrooms invariably came in contact with manure. My mum also took this one step further and peeled them ~ a learnt habit that took me decades to lose

This is a good use for Chip Drop woodchips. The mushrooms will break them down much faster, typically in less than a year. Any kind of fungi will accomplish this, including native fungi, but you might as well grow wine caps or something else you like.
@jacquesinthegarden

Happy birthday, Jacques! I’ve grown those box-kit mushrooms indoors but am very hesitant to grow outdoors. Your videos have given me so much confidence and inspiration to give it a go. I’ve got an empty spot along my side fence that our neighbor’s redwoods keep shady throughout most of the day. Might be a perfect location to give this a try.

I grow these under my chicken run - cuts the bacteria a lot and I got a TON of winecaps around the edges. Some were the size of my forearm. We gift a lot of dehydrated winecap as soup seasoning every year ^_^. Bonus, leather beetles like mulch for their nests and like the soft myceliated wood for their young, so big tasty grubs kept my hens turning the mulch in their run, feeding the mushrooms.

If you fully dehydrate winecaps in a dehydrator (lowest heat) and then marinate/soak them for a couple hours in a jerky marinade (include liquid smoke), then throw them back in the dehydrator (higher heat), makes really excellent imitation jerky.

Happy Birthday! I am also a huge mushroom enthusiast, cook them many different ways. When I have the time, I put some water in with them and then let them simmer until the pan is dry, throw in a little EVOO and any seasonings and fry them up. The flavor really gets concentrated, but the mushroom still has body and you can crisp them up to your preference at the end. Want to grow some here until a big pine tree we have, but some dog and turkey pressure have made me hesitate. Might just go with buckets or bags.
@jacquesinthegarden
@jacquesinthegarden 10 месяцев назад
That is a method I have heard of before but still haven't tried. On the next flush I will give it a go, I tend to like my mushrooms cooked on the drier side as I appreciate that texture more. You can try fencing off the area with a little hardware cloth to secure it!

Wine cap mushrooms, as far as I know, have no other direct look a likes but I won't swear on that! They have the distinct look, little skirt under the cap, and the mushroom gills should stain your fingers purple. If all of those are there I think its a pretty certain but absolutely double check!

I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on this question I have - of the several sources that offer mushroom spawn for winecaps, including North Spore (am I remembering correctly that's who you used?), they all suggest *hardwood* wood chips as the substrate, so I was quite surprised (but happily so!) when you said you were using Doug Fir, and didn't reference any addition of hardwoods, either vis-a-vis chips, or sawdust. I live in Eastern WA, and our forests are Doug fir, hemlock, tamarack, and pine, but there's nary a hardwood in sight! I'd even called several arborists but couldn't locate any source of hardwood wood chips locally, so was pretty sad I might not be able to pull this off... and then you posted your video - and obviously, your beds are gorgeous and already producing 2 months in, and the mycelium content looks fabulous - so - 100% soft wood really is workable...? Love to hear your thoughts on this, but in the meantime, keep up the fabulous work! I have garden envy! >;-)
@jacquesinthegarden
@jacquesinthegarden 9 месяцев назад
So I had this same thought and I found anecdotal confirmation that they do tolerate Douglas fir. The majority of the wood I used here was Douglas Fir wood and bark chip but to be sure that it would take I also mixed in straw at a 50% ratio. I can confirm that of course they fruited just fine but also the Douglas Fir Wood and Bark has been mycelium and is covered in white thread which seems to confirm it works just fine! I did add a few chunks of leftover hickory chunks but I don't think they are moving the needle. My understanding is that the softwood might just produce less and not last as long
@juliannejaz4933
@juliannejaz4933 9 месяцев назад
@@jacquesinthegarden Thanks so much for your response! I've been thinking perhaps the addition of hardwood sawdust might also be a good thing, and I'm hoping if I pose the question on NextDoor I might find some woodworkers using hardwoods who have sawdust they need to dispose of. I also appreciate knowing you'd mixed in the straw at a 50% ratio - I hadn't noticed that when I was watching the video. Well, fingers crossed! We're in the throes of deep winter right now - heading toward -17* by the end of the week, but I'll start dreaming about fruiting wine caps!
