I’ve found placing mushrooms in an airtight container lined well with absorbent paper towel helps keep them fresh for up to 3 weeks. Had some blue oyster for dinner last night that I harvested 17 days ago and the were still firm and fresh
@@Little.Froggie no, use dry ones. It helps absorb the moisture given off by the mushrooms. By avoiding excess moisture you extend the shelf life. If they become too wet change them out for fresh ones
Hello! First off, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your specialized mycology content! I've been watching for sometime and love that you often use science backed data rather than simply your personal experience, yet still keep it easy to digest. I'm actually writing to see if you would engage in some light consulting work; I was hoping I could get some advice on restructuring my facility. If you're open to a preliminary chat, please let me know.
Just found this channel, so excited, I am going to indulge in watching other videos. This one here on mushrooms is great and I love how you explain it nice and clear with a touch of scientific backup, thanks for sharing 👏🏾
Good evening, dear sir. All respect and appreciation to your honorable person for this video, sir. I am from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, from the Middle East, and I am a fan of mushroom cultivation. Are the courses held in your company translated into Arabic? Also, can you send me the course in PDF and also the educational videos, note? I do not speak English and I am a follower of the channel. I await your response, thank you
I was surprised by the recommendation to keep it in the original packaging, most videos I see say to put them in paper bags before refrigerating them, I think it also depends on the type of refrigerator you have - older ones don't remove moisture and newer ones do. So maybe this is making a difference in the advice given here? If moisture is not removed, my understanding is that the mushrooms become slimy. I don't know - food for thought....does anyone actually read comments by the way :)
And actually after watching further he kind of reinforced what I am saying - Plastic wrap is "Breathable" - so if your fridge sucks out moisture then paper is not so much needed....
In my experience, the Baby Bella mushrooms will get slimy if kept in the original plastic wrap. After I open the container, I fold the plastic wrap in half and place half-way over the original container (leaving air space on each end) so they can breathe. Granted, the fridge will eventually dehydrate the exposed areas after a few days, but it's better than being slimy. 😊
Been asking everyone. How do you get constant flushes? Please do a video on this. I am stuck at this. I do everything on a weekly cycle, spawn, inoculate, incubate and transfer into fruiting chamber but the they just sit there. Even ones that i placed in the fruiting chamber 4 weeks ago, 3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago and nothing. Proper fruiting parameters.
That's unusual...if everything is healthy and all substrate, spawn and growing conditions are good then Oyster mushrooms will usually just start fruiting after full colonisation and when exposed to fruiting conditions. The weekly cycle you are doing is how to get regular weekly crops, but it sounds like something else is not quite right..
Hey thanks for getting back to me do fast. Could i be experiencing species fatigue or sequencence. Or what its called. I just recently broke out my master culture slants and re-ran them on petri. Also, how do you do your turn around? Meaning how many times do you expand from your master to perti until you either go back to your masters or just clone from a fruiting body? Would enjoy seeing a video on that. I am working with regular oysters; king, black pearl, path finder oyster (mossy creek mushrooms bred species), lions mane, figuring out the white elf mushroom (nebrodensis). Just broke out my indian, blue and elm oyster and bears head. Findings on those will come later. Everything worked some what fine 8 months ago and then i had that winter period where i had to shut er down due to my limited operational ability. Again thanks for getting back to me. Sometimes it just takes a sound board and some direction in these matters. I have asked all the farmers i am subscribed to but your the first to get back to me. Apologize for the lengthy response. Keep up the great work, i learn alot from yall. Blessed be And keep it fungi.
This is a very unusual question probably, but if I wanted to preserve a mushroom for display (as in part of a mycological shadow box) is there a particular way I could preserve them? They obviously don't need to be edible, just preserved.
I dried mushrooms on a 3d printer when my oven filled up, they were resinous polypores so if you don't dry them in a day or two they get mushy and I had to act fast
I’ve found placing mushrooms in an airtight container lined well with absorbent paper towel helps keep them fresh for up to 3 weeks. Had some blue oyster for dinner last night that I harvested 17 days ago and the were still firm and fresh
That's a good shelf life for Oysters, nice one!
Oml Ik this was 2 years ago but when you do that do you make the paper towels damp first?
@@Little.Froggie no, use dry ones. It helps absorb the moisture given off by the mushrooms. By avoiding excess moisture you extend the shelf life. If they become too wet change them out for fresh ones
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it
/doctor_mckenzie/
Got psych's*
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
@@evelynbecker4916 where to search? Is it IG ??
Great timing for me - I've just got into growing mushrooms and have been looking for ways to store them and not waste any.
What kind 😉
The most informed video on preserving mushrooms, thanks!

No problem, thanks for watching - is there any content you would like to see that you can't find here?
Thankyou good clear video
Excellent video. Thank you guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done, I want to try pickling and fermenting.
A really helpfully great video. Thank you so very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow - really great video!!! - Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Thank you GroCycle. Great video Eric, nice presentation, easy to understand.
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot for this videos I was confused how to do it however thanks to you I have an idea
This was great, thank you.
Thanks for the informative presentation!
Thanks for making this quality video! This really helped me get a lay of the land.
Your videos are amazing. Thanks for sharing all this money for free, it is amazing of you to do that.
Excellent information package, thank you & subscribed.
You're welcome!
I store my organic baby bella mushrooms in a cardboard egg carton in the fridge. This extended the shelf life considerably.
You should check out (Anthony_mycology), he delivers psychedelics and mushrooms
He is on Instagram
Splendid👏. Thank you for sharing a great knowledge. It's helpful for me as a mushroom local farmer. Salam dari Indonesia🙏
good sir great job important information tks........
Awesome Video.... you are, certainally, a Master at Mushroom Preservation. Many thanks !!!
I get my from an online store, they got shroom, psychedelic and microdosing products well refined, also ships to anywhere
He,s on Instagrams with the below handle
!#Mycopete
A great video, resourceful. Wanted to know the size of your mushroom growing bags???
Another great vid, thank you! Is air-frying the best way to make crisps?
I believe they make the crisps using a vacuum drying process. You can see more info here; otherfoodsuk.com/
Can I clean it with water before I dry it at sunshine ? ( Cause fresh mushrooms have dirt or sand )
Why did you not include Freeze drying? Do you have any information on that method?
Hi. I brine button mushrooms in 2% salt brine, but it leads to weight loss of mushrooms of upto 40%.. what could be the reason and remedy?
I just dehydrated some lions mane I grew, is it okay to put them in the freezer for a couple of months until I make a tincture
Do you know What is the shelf life of a frozen morel mushroom
Do you know what the shelf life of a frozen mushroom is I have a bunch of morel mushrooms that were picked over a year ago are they still ok to eat
This video is great

What about the good old and true method of sun drying which actually improves the quality with added Vitamin D?

I wanna ask Sir GroCycle how do we preserve White Oyester Mushrooms for long time, in case we have no instruments generally ?
What's the size of your mushroom bag hanging at the back, amount of spawn and substrate used ?

And keep it fungi.
Do dehydrated mushrooms need to be cooked, since it was only brought up to 45C ?
yes
Can these work with psychedelic mushrooms
❤
I have a question, do you have a website or link to the mushroom jerky?
One of the biggest mushroom jerky companies is: www.mushroomjerky.com/
@@GroCycleTV Thank you very much.

Resin?
Swear dude in the beginning looks like the dad from Dr Suess movie
I dried mushrooms on a 3d printer when my oven filled up, they were resinous polypores so if you don't dry them in a day or two they get mushy and I had to act fast
When dehydrating, should any kind or fat be used?
no
What about parchment paper?
I thought canning would be a option. You can buy mushrooms in a can.
Try Spanish aljillo
Or store them in your mate's belly.
The maitake shown in the video looks like oyster🤔
Have you tried freeze drying? Can mushrooms be freeze dried?
Fermenting is done by yeast, not by microbes!
Brewing fermentation is done by yeast. Traditional food Fermentation by lactobacillus + others and sometimes yeasts but not necessarily.
