How To Get Started Growing Mushrooms At Home (From EASY to HARD) 

I could remember several years ago l suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 11 years totally clean. Shrooms are God- sents

Some people are watching this like.... hahaha yeah gourmet organic mushrooms. That’s why I’m here.

Yesss cheers mate teach me more!! I'll be growing some very "gourmet" mushrooms very soon

I am brand new to this mycelium world. However, I've listened and watched dozens of vids for the various vehicles I own since I do my own work on them. This young man is by far the best example of how a RU-vid should be made. At 66, I'm taking this up as a hobby because in a couple more years, I'll be too crippled to stand for extended periods for outdoor activities. Anyway, I've learned a ton, and have read more in the past two weeks than in the past twenty years, since I became disabled. Thank you sir! Keep up the great work!!!

i' have started level 1 in 2016 and level 2 in 2017, and thanks to your videos, i'm now starting level 3. You are a great teacher, thank you very much Sensei! :)

Mainstream mushrom sellers hate this guy!

I love mushrooms but unfortunately they're very expensive where I live and we only get canned mushrooms. I want to start growing my own at home. Your videos are very helpful as they mention key details that many other growers skip.

Hey I am starting at level 3 😎 been watching you for awhile and made my own spawn from cuts in my homemade still air box, inoculation on some wild bird seed went well and I'm almost ready to layer my bucket(s) I got drilled. If I can get this going strong I want to powder and make soup base for my church to give out to the homeless in my area. All thanks to the knowledge you've given so freely, thank you 👏

LIKED & SUBBED because you delivered a quality amount of in-depth clear info without all the usual BS that so many creators just have to fill their content with. Well done Tony.

I got into mushroom farming 1 year ago, I never succeed, because I tried to make grain spawn without a pressure cooker. Now that I have one, it has become such a nice hobby, it is so satisfying to se them grow. Your videos helped me a lot, thank you so much man, keep it up👍👍

You played a big part in getting started growing and even starting a channel, thanks for everything!

I just want to say thank you. I'm literally just now beginning to learn about the mushroom world, and your videos and particularly this video is so thorough and simple to understand. Thank you so much for helping it make sense. I would love to be able to come and learn from you. Do you offer classes or any type of one on one? Your teaching technique works great for me.

Another great video! Thanks again freshcap you guys are awesome.

Straight to the point yet comprehensive easily understandable explanations with great footage. Bravo! I've seen so many long winded videos attempt to convey the same info. Excellent content. Also that giant ganoderma is pure eye candy and makes one hell of a wall hanger! Found one nearly the same size.

Uncle Ben's ready rice is great for making grain spawn.

thanks, although watching my micilium network grow is like watching paint dry during this pandemic.

I came here out of curiosity because I love collecting plants and thought why not look into mushrooms... It's crazy how the more advanced stage using an autoclave and laminar flow hood is so much like plant tissue culture! Love this video, thank you

Very well explained my friend. Covered the basics. Great equipment you have there. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

Thank you for making these videos!!!! super excited to continue this mushroom journey!!!!!

Thank you SOOoooo much for this summation. It got my mind right about how to proceed.

Who heard him say "the magic of mushrooms" at the end of the vid... that was to set in your subconscious to grow magic mushrooms :)

Freshcap Mushrooms thanks for your details and explanations. I really like mushrooms & love to grow them at home. Now I can give a try to it and make my time fruitful rather than to be panic in this pandemic situation. Thanks a lot!!!

Hey! I recognize you from TikTok! I love that mushroom on the wall. Glad I found you on youtube. Im going to get started growing mushrooms!

Fantastic information. Highly useful. Thank you.

this is great information, thanks for sharing. SUBSCRIBED

Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.

You have the best demonstrations, video quality and content on the the web. I know I’ve watched them all. 🙏

Got my grow kit in the mail today! It's soaking now. Let's see if the obsession takes hold!

your the best in youtube that teachs how to grow mashroom ,, thanks a lot

Very helpful. Thank you for posting this

im trying the kit tysm for the idea

wicked info bro!!! thank you

he is right, ive used two of those kits. They cost about 11 bucks (30 for pink oysters) on amazon. They grow quickly! Give it a shot, it's fun!

Thanks for your knowledge young lad we will always keep learning 🍄

Thank you so much! This is so helpful and really great information. You are a bleesing! Keep it up

Awesome, thanks for your help!

Yes yes yes!! Thanks for this video that had to be made.

The best mushroom growing video I have found!

why am I falling in love with this man

12:17 listen to that new growers! I’ve wasted over $100 in cultures and grains because I didn’t know that. OR try broke boi tek (yes it’s really called that)

Question: You didn't address how many "harvests" or how long a colony will produce mushrooms for you to use. How often do you re-seed your mushroom plot/garden? I've heard the box kits only yield one or two harvests.

Awesome Video Tony!!!! Danke!🙏🏻

Really good intro video to the subject, thanks.

THANK YOU DO MUCH! My Dad loves mushrooms but since he's on the older side he was afraid of catching "IT" plus I had really nothing to do anyway.

a cool thing i did with the fruiting block kit was i actually just took it out of the entire bag and put it in a monotub and it was able to grow all around the block and not just the slits you cut in the front, you get more mushrooms that way.

Excellent overview. Thank you.

Thx this was really helpful

i love you tony ive been obsessed with your videos

Awesome video man!

O i see how you can make the cultures/spores from scratch its what i gathered from other videos on mushrooms this finally confirmed it for me. You pasteurize a grain such as millet , wheat, rye ,...etc then add cuttings of a mushroom to a container wet it and provide a little oxygen but not alot until the culture gets established and takes over then it cannt by harmed with. Once you got enough of it in jars you can add it to your hay , straw, peat moss, soil mixes whatever your growing material is that you choose. And keep it moist. Nice i think i got the easy to hard... though it would be nice to have the vent and pressure canner. One has many sterilization methods for containers , grains , hay ,..etc so it really requires only the mushrooms to get a culture from ...so freaking cool have to try it to see i will it all works out someday .Great video.

Super nice video, very good explanation 👏🏼

Thanks for making this easy to understand, as I am new to growing! I love the flavor of mushrooms, especially with onion and garlic mixed with them!

helpful thank you

here's several suggestions worth trying choose the best variety - there are lots available. grow them in the best environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and can be put outside (I learned these and the reasons they work on gregs mushroom grower site )

Your video are wonderful, thanks for doing them. Quick question, of all the growing ways that you've shown on your channel, what would you say is the most efficient and least work intensive? I run an urban farm and we'd like to add mushrooms to our list. Do you have any recommendations for what would produce the most and require the least attention? Thank you :)

Thanks for the great video!

Great video. Thank you!

Urban farming to the max. Great way to start growing your own. Usefull during pandemic/econ problems when food becomes either to expensive or to scares and you dont have a garden.

I cant wait to grow mushrooms to make a risotto !!! ;)

I love it I’ll try to do that . Thank you..!

I am trying to grow some oyster mushrooms on some used tea leaves. I took the bits of the mushrooms that got covered in that white fluff while they were in my fridge and added them to a small tub of quite moist tea leaves. I'm keeping the thing in my fridge, since I thought that if the original mushrooms got their mycelium growing in those conditions, they must be appropriate, Nothing much is happening, though, but the white fluff is still there. Although, it may be mold. The tub is sealed, though. I will take of the lid and put it into a bigger bag.

Thank you for your Awesome Video

Great video, very informative.

here's several things worth trying pick the best variety - there are lots available. grow them in the best conditions - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be put outdoors (I discovered these and the reasons they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower site )

Nice information

I got into Uncle Ben's tek and it works great for me. Ready to go brown rice bags are cheap and sterilised so you dont need a pressure cooker.

Would like to see progress on that kit later. Does the fruiting block not leak water into the box when you put it back, which would make it grow mold?

Obsessed with that cow painting!

Awesome thanks great video!

There are a few things to try choose the top type - there are lots available. grow them in the best conditions - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be put outside (I learned these and why they work from gregs mushroom grower website )

Steven brown art in the back! Yas

Perlite holds air. You want to use vermiculite to hold water. Have you considered wet newspaper or sponges? Those would be cheaper options to slow release water

I love my Instant Pot for sterilizing small containers of substrate.

Power Pressure Cooker XL or Insta Pots work great for easy sterilization ...

here's several suggestions worth trying pick the best variety - there are many available. grow them in the right environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be placed outside (I read these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower site )

Fantastic idea!

I had some leftover soy husks from making tofu and I didn't know what to do with them, well I sterilized them in a jar and put some oyster mushroom tissue in there. I hope I get mushrooms out of it, never done this before!

Cool mushroom wall man that’s pretty cool

i did mushrooms in a box kit years ago, i liked it! now i have 6 acres and room for my too many projects, i think i will get back into it ! Great info Thank you ! Also, can you use other grains as substrates , ie corn or wheat ? i already have thousands of pounds of those !

Thank you!

Okay, I've watched the 5 gallon bucket method, I actually bought some bales of straw. I didn't think of covering them, thank you! Can I grow Maitake and Portobello next to each other so that I can use the same cover sheet ♥

Thanks! I just want to start grow my own mash rooms

AYEEEEEEEEEEEE the super mushroom cap on the back is godly

Great video

Very interesting,really wanting to learn how to grow

Nature is amazing man

I so do love the magic of mushrooms 🙂💜✌ Thanks for sharing

Awesome!!!

What can be used as substrate for oyster mushrooms? Are coconut husk and sawdust valid options? And how do you sterilize the substrate?

amazing. short and rich in content

this is a amazing video Tony. Thanks a lot. I have a little question. I dont have intention to grow mushroom in a commercial scale. but I really wanna grow some Abalone for food. so i'm thinking to use pasteurized hardwood dust as my substrate. But i have to make my own spawn because the amount of abalone culture i can get it around 10g. can i use pasteurized grain to make my spawn. I don't have a pressure cooker

BravoZulu absolutely loved this one

Thank you for this production. regarding the humidity part,, what numbers might I be guessing at for this strain of shroom? Do you have min or max level avl for us to guess over/about?

7:30 literally searched how to grow mushrooms because i saw the bucket part on tiktok

For years I've had thoughts that I should get I to trying my hand at this. Now I am more Interested then ever. Send me more info.

Yes! Organic gourmet delicious food

Nice job. Let's here more about wild mushrooms like oyster or chicken. And growing at home.

I still gotta buy them though(the kits), since going out isn't really much of an option now, I guess ordering online is an option. In my locality, I've seen some people in my village "growing" mushrooms(specifically the paddy mushroom, a common one sold at the local market). They put a pile of palm fruit bunches(I assume they got it from the plantation)
