Hey, great video! What is the substance in the bottom of beds? It looks like rock but I can’t tell. I just found your videos and subscribed. I’m trying to grow mushrooms in the desert.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me.
@Khari Keaton thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I was able to grow these without adding any humidity in a cold basement in winter! These seem to grow through anything definitely the easiest mushrooms I've grown and everybody loves the look, texture and flavor too.

@@___echo___ th-cam.com/users/shortsZYAA8FT4ERA?feature=share I just hang garbage bags over them and peek at them tell I see this then take the bags off and let them finish.
@@Jebussins My basement was probably in the 60s. If you put them in a tent with a light that should be enough to get to a good enough temp. The mycelium also makes heat. The tent will also keep spores from making a mess around your whole basement.
I just bought a pink oyster mushroom bag to grow at home, and it's already starting to get baby mushrooms after only a couple days. I was worried that they didn't look right and wasn't sure when I should harvest them, but this video helped a lot! Now I feel more confident. I'm also a vegan so I'm very ready to try bacon-ing them. Haha!
I'm growing a number of different mushrooms at home right now and fruiting has been the biggest challenge for me so videos like this that show how you're doing it where you maybe talk about other things you've tried and what's worked well or poorly are really good.
I've been growing pink and pearl oyster mushrooms for the first time. The pink were ready to be partially harvested today, so I went ahead and fried them. To my surprise, they do taste a lot like bacon!!! 😀 I used avocado oil, and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Thx for showing us how to make the mushroom bacon bits that helped. I got to see how much is needed and how to chop it and into what size. Highly appreciate it
I grew these from wild collected spores with plans to isolate strains, process I am onto at the moment. I cooked my first multi-spore culture harvest and fried them with butter, some garlic and onion. They tasted like lobster. Delicious! Different from the oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus.
❤the emphasis on "BITS". I've been interested in pink oysters for the aesthetics, but discouraged due to shelf life. But i might try a small cult if they really are that "meaty"
Hey Tony, after watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for a while now, I finally got my small greenhouse going and just inoculated my first batch of mushrooms ( pink oysters, king oysters, pioppini and shiitaki) and I must say my pinks are colonizing at a rediculous rate. I am definitely going to use this recipe for my first flush from my first batch. Keep up the great videos and great information
oh man! I just got pink oyster mushroom kit from my brother for christmas! Came in the mail a little late, opened it up about a week ago. I'm like 3 days after it pinning and now here you are with a full blown pink oyster video! I'm looking forward to trying these out I've never eaten the pink ones before really wanna see how much like Bacon they actually are! :D
4:38 This happened to me the other day, most of them just wouldn't pin where i cut and just burst through the bag and filter, later flushes did mostly pin where i cut. My hypothesis is that this happened because i cut too deep (like you did) and disturbed the mycelium too much, could also be that the meaty white part of the mycelium just wasn't all that dense there so it prefered to pin elsewhere where it had more energy stored or something. What do you think?
hard to say, mushrooms just do as they please sometimes haha- I agree maybe the cutting damages the mycelium, but it usually doesn't matter. Always the easiest/fastest is just cutting where they are already pinning, but that can be awkward sometimes
THANKS...... looks great! its been soooo long since I ate meat(Feb. 14, 2020).......I miss bacon......I love not eating animals though & I have lost 76 lbs eating WFPB..... HAPPY NEW YEAR !
I'm about to give growing mushrooms a try. I ordered a blue oyster kit earlier today. If that goes well, I was already planning on trying other mushrooms. But I probably would have overlooked pink oyster mushrooms if TH-cam hadn't suggested a video with both pink oyster and bacon in the title. From a color stand point, pink is my least favorite color. But from a food standpoint, bacon is very high on my list of favorites. And for that matter, smoked paprika is high on my list of favorite spices. I will definitely be adding pink oysters to my list of mushrooms to try.
Try the Hooddie Tek it gives you a higher volume. Be sure to do it with the rubber bands. Practical mycology has a great video series on the Hoodie Tek. Warm temps and low light leave them with less color.
it looks to me like they would love to grow sideways out of the bag instead of out on the upside. as you cut the scond time, you rearranged some of the bags, so the mushrooms had to reorientade themselfs, i guess that costs them some energy aswell. i would have slid them open sideways.
Have you compared yield/colonization speed of pasturized sawdust vs supplemented sawdust? Id like to add oyster to my farmers market table this year but Im not ready to invest in a bulk sterilizer. Pellets seem a lot easier to deal with than straw.
Hi there...love your videos...great information and we'll presented everytime!! What do you think would be the best way to store the mushroom bacon bits
Hello! Awesome video! Do you have a video of you building the outdoor green house? If not, you should make a video about it! I’m sure others would appreciate it! Thanks
Due to the short shelf life of the mushrooms, do they do well with dehydration to help them keep for longer term storage if you do get a particularly bountiful growth that you can't eat all at once?
I dehydrate Pink oyster when I have leftovers from the markets. The dehydrate just fine. They aren't 100% when you rehydrate them but that goes for pretty much any mushrooms.
Fresh air and humidity - how about running an air stone into a bottle or jar of water inside the greenhouse? I’ve seen that method for growing Panaeolus.
@freshcapmushrooms Hi & thanks for the videos. Is it normal for large sawdust blocks (oyster)to be ready to fruit before all the sawdust has been colonized? I think I may have had some drier sawdust in corners
Good vid. Just wondering how much average yield % could be increased by optimizing the humidity/oxygen tradeoff with an algorithm controlling an extractor fan and a humidifier. Any thoughts?
I am very serious about starting a small business this year with mushrooms. How much does light affect the growth. Would it be better indoors? CO2 concentration is bad for them? would be cool to hear the factors that are to be balanced for the best growth
I wonder if using some liquid smoke on these would bring them even closer to that bacon flavour. Will be trying it once my oysters have fruited, thanks.
Have You ever canned Your mushrooms that have a short shelf life fresh ? I think that would be a good way to preserve a harvest too big for the present market , or need . You have an excellent channel, thanks, and blessings.
These looks really delicious. i have a question. Pleurotus djamor is also a pink oyster, what is the growing conditions for this? The fruiting temperature and the humidity needed
How many times a day do you have to spray them I think I have over sprayed some my daughter bought and sent to me a Lions Mane and Oyster Mushroom growth kit but I think I over watered them my oysters were doing well but now have a little bruising on the stem of a few. I think I need to order new kits and start over. My Lions Mane I've had for over 3 weeks and I'm now seeing fuzz but I also see a spot where there is a small patch of what appears to be mold green looking. HELP!
Fellow MycoAnons - please give me which Oysters you recommend for an amateur culinary student. I would love to have some ideas for meat replacement recipes in case SHTF.
Hi! I have a question, when you say, “…not in direct sunlight…” do you mean your entire little mushroom grow cage is out of direct sunlight? Or was it in sunlight, but the bags themselves were not in direct sunlight due to the shade cloth? I ask because I want to grow some in my greenhouse, under a shade cloth but, is having the entire greenhouse in the sun make it a bad place to grow them? Geez, I hope this makes sense, I mean, I KNOW the spawn bag cannot be in direct sunlight, but what about direct sunlight under a shade cloth? 👈 I suppose that is my question, lol. Thanks in advance for any clarification from anyone! 🥂💚🍄
I'm pretty intimidated by the inoculation process and creating a substrate but this video seems to skip all that part. I haven't been able to figure out how to create the substrate and colonize it since mostly everyone and every mushroom has their own unique method/preferences. Is there an easy way to grow these at home outside/inside like in a 5 gallon bucket? I love your video that shows soaking the wood chips and then adding layers of blue oyster mushroom spawn outside with no sterilization techniques. Will that apply for these pink oysters as well or does it need to be completely sterilized, etc?
Heyo! In case you're wondering, this was filmed in September 2020 but not uploaded until now. Thanks for watching and happy growing!
Hey, great video! What is the substance in the bottom of beds? It looks like rock but I can’t tell. I just found your videos and subscribed. I’m trying to grow mushrooms in the desert.

Amazing how they all fruited from the bottom, they show us what they want us to know🤣😂❤
They are so bright pink. I didn't think they would be.
Could you grow a block inside a shotgun fruiting chamber with perlite for humidity?
Hello, can i use straw/hay to grow pink oyster mushrooms? And is there a organic alternative to using plastic bags?
Try the Hooddie Tek it gives you a higher volume. Be sure to do it with the rubber bands. Practical mycology has a great video series on the Hoodie Tek.
Warm temps and low light leave them with less color.
Are they growing from the bottom because they like the extra moisture there?
Great video, thank you for the information, im starting my first batch of pink mushroom this week hopefully
Good luck with your grow!!
Thank you Tony I'll have to give it a try very interesting
Wow! Exactly what I was looking for! Rather let a pig live a beautiful life. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. 🌻🙏

Due to the short shelf life of the mushrooms, do they do well with dehydration to help them keep for longer term storage if you do get a particularly bountiful growth that you can't eat all at once?
I don't actually know... i have dried them, but never actually tried to re-hydrate to see what they are like. Worth a shot though!
@BIGFOOOOOT I absolutely shall! Got some liquid culture on its way.
I have dehydrated and then vacuum sealed the dried fruits for storage a few times when I had a good crop. When it is time to cook just rehydrate them.
I dehydrate Pink oyster when I have leftovers from the markets. The dehydrate just fine. They aren't 100% when you rehydrate them but that goes for pretty much any mushrooms.
@@jcfisher1234 still taste the same?
A brilliantly helpful video, thanks guys!
Is it possible to grow the pink oysters using the bucket method in your other video?
Great video man. So, why have you not opened the bag where the oysters were pinning already? Won't you lose these ones now.
What would you be able to do with the stems after removing them? Could they be used as compost or used for anything else?
Hello, thanks for the great video. What sized unicorn bags are these?
Can I use a mushroom growing kit block and break it up and add it to a bucket with clean aspen shavings and brown rice and have it successfully grow?
Awesome video!
Fresh air and humidity - how about running an air stone into a bottle or
jar of water inside the greenhouse? I’ve seen that method for growing Panaeolus.
Will you get a bigger yield from hardwood sawdust or straw substrate?
I’ve not long inoculated some pink oysters, couple weeks and it’ll be time to fruit mine!
Curious? Why don’t you make more than one cut per bag? Seems like it would be advantageous to have multiple holes.
Low CO is not the problem. Proper initial humidity, temps and light your crop did not have long thin small blooms so CO was not an issue!
excellent.
Random question! Is growing chicken of the woods mushrooms same process as growing gray dove oyster mushroom using rye grain and hay straw?
Awesome! Can't wait to try it out.
thak you for filming this learned a lot
I was wondering as usual what temperature and humidity is required in the fruiting tent.
Nice creativity
thank you!!

Soya ,brown suger, liquid smoke ,paprika ,garlic.. I use too make outher things taste bacon in a pinch .. might mess around with this
I'm growing them right now off from Amazon. Where did you get yours? Thanks. I love them!
yoooooo new freshcap video
woot woot! thanks for watching :)
What is the black thing inside the chamber? Coal? Also can blue oyster mushrooms grow in rainy weather?
thanks for the video!!! Plz make a video about shelf life of all mushrooms!
This is a great video, thank you for making this and sharing 🙂
Hey Tony, can these grow in a bucket on woodchips like blue oyster?
I love this channel!
Does anyone know Can we open the bags and use the the 5 gallon bucket, pine chips methods he used in the video with the regular oyster mushrooms?
Any recommendations for using pink mushroom grain spawn in a monotub?
WHERE DO YOU GET THESE LITTLE RAISED GARDEN BEDS

Perhaps a burlap cover would allow for greater fresh air for your greenhouse.
How long dose it take to grow fungus from start to harvest. Average fungus. 14-21 days?
wtf do you mean by "average fungus", there are like a million different species out there
What medium are you using as a base at the bottom of your fruiting greenhouse? Looks like hard wood charcoal?
Wow that looks great xD
Have a link for that greenhouse?
Hi, whats in the base of the garden box? coal?
Hey Aaron! Just rocks (crushed gravel basically) doesn't really do much except provide a base and I figured it was aesthetically nice.
