Typically mushroom grow blocks are grown out onto a sterilized sawdust substrate in a clean, controlled environment. However, you can make your own blocks at home with this low-tech method, bypassing sterilization and still getting some impressive results!
***UPDATE: we have now trialed this kit with other Oyster varieties and it is now available in Golden Oyster!

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms

@SergeantRodriguez-lm4hl 6 месяцев назад

My friend told me about how psilocybin shrooms helped him deal with trauma, anxiety and depression. I would love to try them though I haven't found any legit grower to get it.

I was having this unbearable anxiety and depression because of mental stress from school, work and life generally. Then I came across a mycologist dr.joeshroom He saved my life honestly.

Very useful, thank you!🤗

I find that setting my stovetop burner on medium-low with a stainless steel pot full of water results in temps from 166 - 178F, perfect pasteurization temps. Throw your substrate in a cheesecloth bag and throw it in the pot or an hour.

Thanks for another interesting and practical video! Do you know of any source for organic cottonseed hull pellets or organic soy hull pellets? I would buy them from ff if you offered them.

@lauried8685 Год назад

How do you store the grain spawn and substrate materials if you want to do consecutive plantings a couple weeks apart for each block?

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

The substrate can be stored dry, but the grain spawn should be resealed and stored in a refrigerator. Unless it's pink oyster- pink oyster needs to be used once opened. Keep in mind that once grain spawn is opened it does increase the risk of contamination as it has been exposed to airborne contaminants.

@carasnyder5234 Год назад

Any tips for finding pelletized cottonseed hulls? Or would non-pelletized cottonseed hulls be okay to use?

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

We buy them in bulk, but if you do a quick online search there are a few sources that come up!

@bytemuncher1 10 месяцев назад

I've found that sourcing soybean hulls and cottonseed hulls can be quite challenging and expensive for most people, especially if they're not buying in bulk. Do you have any recommendations for more accessible and pasteuriz-able alternatives for sawdust supplementation? Thanks!

@FieldandForestProducts 10 месяцев назад

I would maybe look online for "masters mix" which is just fuel pellets and soy hull pellets, but there are companies out there that sell them pre-mixed. We use grain and molasses as supplements for certain species, but I would say for oysters the best bet would be to purchase a "masters mix".

Greetings from New Hampshire. In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of mushroom cultivation through the use of plastic bags, are there other containers that could be used for non-sterile cultivation, and if so, could you do a video on how? Thanks

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

Yes excellent question! The biggest hurdle is the need for the filter patch, but we're experimenting right now with upcycled containers. Once we have it figured out we'll definitely be sharing!

@lambbrookfarm4528 Год назад

@@FieldandForestProducts I have tried a using a bucket with 1/4" holes drilled in it with limited success. I am going to increase the hole size to 1/2" and use micropore tape for colonization phase the remove it for fruiting.

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

@@lambbrookfarm4528 Keep us updated! We're trying with smaller containers (like yogurt containers. So we'll see where it goes!

@ShotgunLlama 11 месяцев назад

Can this be done in containers other than disposable plastic bags? Can you use these pellets in a bucket, or is that too big for something this dense?

@FieldandForestProducts 11 месяцев назад

You can use buckets, but I would suggest going with something no larger than a gallon. The biggest hurdle you run into is mimicking a filter patch so that the mycelium can breathe.

@rambunctiousmrsraines Год назад

Thanks for this! I grew your pink oysters in bags inside, and since I have quite a few acres I put them outside when they seemed 'done'. They flushed again though not as strongly. Will they survive a 6b winter, and if so can I give them anything to get going again in spring?

@rambunctiousmrsraines Год назад

Oh, and, what can I do to get mushrooms to take over my forest :D (Unless that's an 8-hour per day project, haha)

@christinameyers4918 Год назад

@@rambunctiousmrsraines Try a patch of wine caps...and grow on from there

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

I second what Christina said! Start with Wine Cap. You'll eventually want to inoculate logs as logs last quite a bit longer than any bed mushroom.

@rambunctiousmrsraines Год назад

@@FieldandForestProducts Thanks. Would adding chips to the wine cap bed I started help them come back? What time of year, how much?

@lambbrookfarm4528 Год назад

@@rambunctiousmrsraines I have found that adding fresh wood chips to winecap beds will feed the mycelium and the bed will continue to produce mushrooms although they might pop up in different locations. It may help to find the colonized woodchips from the previous inoculation and relocate some with the new fresh wood chips. This way you can maintain your beds for many years.

@user-wf8cs1gz3l 5 месяцев назад

it looks like my pohu oysters have spawned in less than a week . there are some big white mounds about 1"or so.. should I roll up the bags now to finish the process?

@FieldandForestProducts 5 месяцев назад

Wow! That was fast. Yes, roll up the bag and finish the process!

@jessemiller6318 Год назад

Could i just skip the pellets and use aspen wood chips instead?

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it, but I don't see why that would work. I would likely be less productive as there is less substance, but it should still produce mushrooms.

@christinameyers4918 Год назад

Great Video !~~any tidbits on keeping spawn in the dark for those 20 days or is ithat not necessary?

@FieldandForestProducts Год назад

It's not necessary! The blocks can be kept in the dark if you choose, but indirect light is also fine.

@user-yv5jl7pb3b 9 месяцев назад

OK, but why not sterilize? When I did this with Lion’s Mane, I saw green mold contamination during incubation. It went away and the mushrooms were yummy and healthy. But U-Tube has plenty of videos on sterilization of grow blocks. If you don’t have a pressure cooker you might have an Insta-pot. Next time I’ll try that.

@FieldandForestProducts 9 месяцев назад

Sterilizing will definitely allow you to stretch your spawn further, but if you don't have a pressure cooker or instantpot this is an easy alternative.
