The Easiest Way to Grow Oyster Mushrooms: An Outdoor Garden Bed 

The typical mushroom growing howto focuses on indoor growing for the purpose of profit so there is a need for a LOT of high-quality, disease-free, pretty looking mushrooms. Getting this from mushrooms grown outdoors is difficult. Sure, the mushrooms in this video are edible, but you're going to have a hard time selling them for $10 a pound. You might be able to sell them for $5 a pound, and due to the low cost, that might work, but the harvest from this setup just isn't going to be much. Of course, if you just want mushrooms to cook with in your own home, this method would work great.

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken mass-produced things are usually cheap and these videos are probably for those who are interested in growing mushrooms as a hobby.

@@NotSoCrazyNinja perhaps the appearance of the mushrooms will be better looking after each harvest, because the gardener will try change small bits of the setup everytime and compare the result

Materials (hay) could be refined But as a cost to FAE. Hay can scaffold but can it be fed? Oysters love paramecium.

@@NotSoCrazyNinja If you're selling mushrooms that aren't disease free then the government would probably shut you down for risking the publics health. Not that I think you mean human diseases of course but they'd notice it wasn't sterile and err on the side of caution.

We call that pina isan here in cebu phils

Well in order to make good videos like this you have to get paid somehow, this guy I totally agree seems like a nice non greedy guy and I wouldn't mind buying the spawn direct from his company

@@nati1025 you can easily make this video on your phone and some experience editing. He's just an honest nice guy.

I have spent months researching into how to grow mushrooms after which we found a great website at gregs mushroom grower (google it if you're interested)

@@brittanyainsworth9307 I recently started a business making mushroom logs. Also just successfully created a mushroom garden bed as well and got my first flush of blue Oysters. Amazing stuff

The guy from southwest mushrooms is pretty chill and honest, he tells you exactly to the degree how to do things. Doesn't try to hold on to every trick and every method to himself, even though he is a mushroom producer

MyChilepepper Did you continue to add fresh straw to keep it going?

I just started a bed the same way Today. I had a 2 gallon bucket that seemed spent. so I cracked it open and distributed it among a bed of straw on top of some cardboard. I used half a bale of straw. I chose the spot cause I saw some mushrooms growing there already ( they may have come from some grain that I toss there from my bucket project) I figure if it could grow there on it's own, it should grow mine with additional care from me. Wish me Luck.

How was the yield? Better or inferior to the ones grown in bags?

@@Metqa so, how did it go?

@@carinecampier Poorly. It barely made one mushroom and then wheat grass and weeds just grew in the straw. then the cats started using it as a litter box! I don't know if it was because the spent mushroom spawn was weak or the straw was contaminated but it just rotted instead of the mycelium spreading. Oh, Well, That's what experiments are for. Success is NOT guaranteed.

E L indeed.

Yesss! I have some spawns and don't have all these sterile gadgets...great for growing for sale though. But this is for 2 people and we're trying to get on that self sufficient trainn. Thanks a bunch for this vid 💯😘

@@jor2833 did u learn to develop those spawns here?

@@mohammadamir4486 - I bought them on amazon and this is my first time trying it out🤗. So I hope it goez well

Jo R how’d it go?? Interested in a update

and you are the gayest

@@samwaldorf8777 and you are the rudest, congrats haha

They are cute 😍

I am actually thinking about using a TINY greenhouse like that for that exact reason. More air circulation while keeping humidity in.

jjonestowne hahaahaaa

and don't fear the reaper.

Joke needs more cowbell

Curious if you did this, and results, because I have the same kind of area

Oh heck yeah!

Very easy to understand,I have my kit that I order,crossed my finger it will be successful, thank you for easy instructions. 😊

Awesome!

Nice! Updates?

@@quinnrichards5969 nicely written, tasty one would say

@@quinnrichards5969 hi can you please tell me how long it takes oister mushrooms to fully harvest, mine is almost 35 days and my mushrooms are very small, what am I doing wrong, please advice me Thankyou

jackson.wilmes put a mushroom with a broken veil that’s releasing spores on clean tin foil and put a glass or Petri dish on top of it and wait a few hours if nothing happens after 2-3 hours put a drop of water on the cap and wait longer although sooner or later you’ll develop purple brown spores on the tin foil and in a still air box or somewhere contaminant free and then you take a heat sterilized scalpel and scrape 1/4 of the spore print in 10ml of water (or however much your sterilized syringes fit) in a sterilized dish and suck it up a few times in a sterile syringe and make sure it has a slight purple tint to it and it’ll work really well also for storage a cool dark place works well make sure your syringes are capped and spore prints sealed well and folded multiple times to risk possible contamination’s in the fridge also works just make sure it doesn’t freeze and it’s sealed well

jean girardeau it should still be available, check out the channel. I know it was erranously removed for a week or so

They do, but not as nicely like he showed in the video. They look more oddly shaped and not attractive if you plan to sell them

Did you ever try it? Was wondering the same thing.

Awesome! I am doing a major one this year with oysters, shaggy Mane and wine caps.... Stay tuned!

From what I learned you'll get a few flushes then have to start over. You'll know once you stop getting pins.

From what I've read you can mix the old spawn with new material

@@thomaswalker1525 Thanks for your reply! :)

@@jacman1111 Great! Thanks for letting me know.

Don't harvest them all and let some shed their seed.

nah, oysters just grow wherever they want to grow
