How To Grow Mushrooms On Coffee Grounds (Easy & Sustainable) | Urban Farm-It's Classroom 

freeze used coffee, pasteurize while making substrate. works fine for me growing 1 coffee can at a time.

Great beginner friendly video, been wanting to grow mushrroms for years. Tried coffee grounds but gave up as looked like mold took over. Threw mix into garden and days later had blue oysters popping up. Well happy but soon got munched by something. So now im trying again after seeing this

I love your quote. "Nature is a beautiful thing we just need to grow with it".

Thanks for sharing! You guys have the best resources!

I bought some grain spore on a whim one night and this is way more complicated than I thought it would be. For an organism that grows in rotting logs, in the dirty, unhygienic woods behind my house, it sure is finicky.

Nice job Mate. Will give it a try.

Your timing...or my timing... is perfect. As a new grower of mushrooms, I've been looking lately at my daily coffee ground use and the water bottles we pitch regularly. You've given me some good ideas. As a suggestion, you might encourage your viewers to use gloves. The nooks and crannies of the hands and nails combined with their flexing nature make them very hard to effectively sanitize and they provide a primary contamination vector w/in any sterile zone. Alcohol and a cheap pair of nitrile (in the US) gloves will go a long way towards keeping those nasty critters at bay. As far as rolling up your sleeves a clean long sleeve woven shirt is a better option. Skin sheds constantly, and in that shed are microbes you might not want in your grow. Thanks and best of luck to you guys!

Very simple and straight forward! Thanks!

Thank you.😊

Thank you!!!

Thank you 🙏

awesome mate

Out of all the clips I watched for growing mushrooms home this one is the best so far

Good video, good speed, not boring and definitely informative - thank you!👍

Great video! Love it! 🍄 ❤️

I'm gonna use all natural hard wood saw dust as opposed to straw it's completely organic and free of debris and chemicals...I hope it works

When you have sprayed a mist of water, do you re-cover with liner?

Hi, loving all you videos, Ive been using straw pellets, rehydrated at 60%, what coffee pellet ratio would you advise?

Have you tried using coffee chaff mixed with grounds rather than straw? I collect both fresh from a roaster/cafe so they would be pasteurised.

So for starting some from liquid culture and im going to try something. Ill sanitize my hands and drop the coffee grains streight into a freshly unsealed plastic ziplock bag. This should work i got a shelf in the basement for em it's quite damp. Actually do you think too much liquid in the bag is a problem its coffee grounds direct from the drip machine there was a bit of water in the bag. Its got holes for ventilation.

this might very well be a st*pid question but can't I freeze the coffee grounds instead of using it within 24 hours?

How about the waste coffee grinds from coffee shop? Normally we put it for raised beds. Sometimes with some sugar included. Can I use that mixed with straws?

I have left over coco noir from some indoor plants, do you think that would be a decent alternative to the straw?

Thx for the video. This was very informative. I’m wondering if you can pasteurise older coffee grounds, let’s say a few weeks old, or perhaps even dry your coffee grounds so there’s less chance of infection with moulds? I don’t drink that much coffee after all haha

No added water?

I'd try putting it in the fridge for a day before fruiting to shock it.

Sir is it ok if i use cardboard as substrate for oyster mushrooms. Watching from 🇵🇭🐾🐕

Great video can I use alcohol to sterilize and do I use the tips and bottoms or just the bottom of mushroom

Also I have used brewed coffee grind s I dried it in sun. ...so wer brewed coffee grinds are dried out , can I use reused coffee ground and do I need to sterilize coffee too? If so how do I do that thanks

I've got a question.. what about aspen bedding for snakes? I might give it a go

Can cococoir be used in place of straw? Thank you

Hello there, I have been watching your videos, checked out your website to order but you don't ship to USA. Thank you for the informative videos. Wish I could buy your products

Can you keep coffee ground in the freezer or re-pasturize it?

Question, is that 20 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius?

Wow.Can we grow any mushrooms except oysters on this way?

How much mixture grams fits into the coffee cup?

🌏🏫🏫🏫👍👍🍷🍷🫱🫱🍷🍷💛💛🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 THAT TUYET VOI CAM ON THAY CHI DAN .

How did you sterilize the paper towels?

Can you sterilize the coffee for coffee stored over 24 hours?

I would I suggest not growing in a carpeted room at all. There’s a chance you have allergies to spores and they will linger in the room much longer and your sinuses will hate you.

Ok call me crazy but you don't know things unless you ask but why all the sanitation when they grow in nature just fine around a ton of unclean stuff. I'm sure man/woman harvested them in some nasty forest, washed them or dusted them, ate and lived. You know what I mean? Nature doesn't use 91% alcohol on the logs it's growing from. People go harvest them from wooded areas and that's fine. No telling what bug or animal scales, fur etc are touching those logs they grow out from or the ground. IJS and curious. I want to grow some because local grocers do not have king or regular oyster mushrooms.

is that just a trash bag?

There is almost one roll of kitchen towels wasted. Not environment friendly, dude.

Can he Please not waste THAT much paper towels???
