In Part 2, we "birth" the cakes and actually fruit mushrooms! This is the most satisfying part of the whole process.
Want to follow along?
It is not the best way to grow mushrooms, but it is a fun science project for growing mushrooms at home, and you can do it without any special equipment that you can't get at the grocery store or hardware store.
SUBSTRATE:
For Every 6 cakes use about:
-3.5 cups vermiculite
-1 cup brown rice flour
-350 ml water
MATERIAL REQUIRED (part 1, substrate and inoculation):
-Coarse Vermiculite (look in garden centers or here amzn.to/2yBGQvc )
-Brown Rice Flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill amzn.to/2KoWWuZ)
-250 ML wide mouth canning jars (make sure they are wide mouth or else you won’t be able to get your cakes out amzn.to/3axaUFE)
-tinfoil for covering the lids
-large clear tote for SAB (112 qt should be good amzn.to/2xRbl0b)
-isopropyl alcohol (if you can find it right now!)
-spray bottle for isopropyl alcohol
-paper towel
-lighter or alcohol lamp
-liquid culture syringe (i used mycelium emporium)
MATERIAL REQUIRED (part 2, fruiting):
-another large tote for making the fruiting chamber
-coarse perlite
-another spray bottle for water
-repti-fogger (optional)

Hey all! Thanks for watching :) You can get Part 1 here: th-cam.com/video/D4jUTIv0XfY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Tony! Awesome videos. Do you have an opinion on fruiting In Vitro straight out of the jars instead of the SGFC method?
Hi, in the SGFC, do you use new perlite every time you birth a set of cakes? or keep re using the same perlite? I only ask because sometimes spores explode all over it if they arent picked in time. Thanks
Hi, thanks for your video ! At which temperature did you put your jar in the dark tote after injection until colonization ? thank you :)
You mentioned that these BRF cakes are not the best method for these mushrooms - you showed photos of truly amazing growth on some other system... what was that other system?
i guess Im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me.
You've made one of the best mushroom growing tutorials on TH-cam
wow, thanks so mush!! Hearing that made my day :)
@@FreshCapMushrooms I wanted to write the same, great work :) It would be nice to see PF Tek series though :)
@@08101389 or maybe a video that lists what mushrooms would work with this method vs ones that wouldn't, and why!
Tony Stair I was thinking the same thing. 😭
@@johnw3736 cubensis works^^
Bro. I started growing for… obvious young dude reasons but you actually got me into growing mushrooms like regular.
You’re so informative, passionate, and just… your whole vibe man.
The whole way through you’re showing that this works for “any” mushrooms but never sacrifice your integrity.
I love you man. I mean it when I say that I want to grow up to be like you.
Started for the same reason as you, its become an incredibly fun hobby.
Smells dank and earthy apparently
Obvious young dude reasons LMFAO hahaha Haha hahaha
Finally someone that can make a clear and concise video on how to grow mushrooms in different ways. I've been a long time sub always loved your videos.
thanks so mush for the support!
Tony. You have the best Mycological based youtube channel. That is all.
thanks so mush!!
I was so confused by the vocab used in guides but this cleared alot of that up!!!
Part 2 is just as good as part one. Concise and comprehensive. Bravo.
Wow! This and the part 1 video was such an excellent tutorial video. You went through all the steps flawlessly, explained each step, and the video angles were great. Extra bonus footage of you eating the mushrooms would have been fun to see :)
It's 3am at my place and I am watching some guy talking about mushrooms 😂 But to be honest, every single one of your videos is super entertaining plus it always teaches me something new. So huge thanks ;)
Thanks so mush for watching!
It's 3am and I'm on mushrooms watching a guy grow mushrooms, lol
I love how you get straight to it. You don't repeat yourself you just say, "I have other videos explaining " cuz I already watched them, I don't need a longer video explaining what I just watched. But I love how u only re explain the most important stuff.
You can tell he's a pro the way he makes it look so easy!
Here's a tip for easy dunking for anybody that doesn't have a large bowl and weight. Get those 18oz plastic cups, fill them 3/4 of the way, put your cake in, and use the cake's jar itself to weigh the cake down for complete submersion. Works great!
or go to walmart and get equipment
So happy to see you cook those mushrooms 💜
By far the best video on this subject I have found, thank you!
None of the other videos I watched have such keen growing manuevers. Way to go this taught me a lot about what I was doing wrong.
The Forbidden Oat Cakes
Thanks for this PF Tek series, Tony. I have some cakes in the shotgun chamber now, with a fogger on order. Rewatching your vid made me realize I'd overlooked some steps in the process, so I'm incorporating them now. Your passion for the fungi is impressive, and thanks for sharing your experience. Shroom-On.
You make the best mushroom growing videos. So clear and simple. Thanks!
I’m so glad you made this video, I needed something to reference during my first time.
Thank you for making it so simple!!
Thanks dude, this is up there as one of the Greatest when it comes to tutorials. My current and future self salutes you.
I fully enjoy your vids. Ive learn so much more! You carry yourself very well on screen and your information is received very well! Thank you!
Thank you for all your quality content, it's so nice to learn with your videos, even years after 😁
I found this video useful even though it's to the scale i want to grow at, it shows scale brilliantly and also the humidifier is a great idea
One thing that’s nice about this is that it gives you a taste of success on growing. Other teks can be higher stakes and can fail. It’s good to start nice and small like this.
Awesome video Tony! Most consistent TH-cam channel! 👍
These are the best mushroom growing videos on youtube. Nice work
ily dude youre so clear about what youre talking about
Thank you for the indepth and professional video. It's clear, concise, and absent of all the "uhmmms" the "and also's" and the "oh I forgot's" that plague 99% of instructional videos posted on TH-cam. They are all so hard to watch and follow. Thanks again sir!
I love your attitude , you are honestly such a nice and fungi to watch !! XD... Best of luck brother thank you as I was just starting my own Lions Mane and was so scared of contamination, and you helped a lot with the stress of making these at home. I also was reading into substrates such as wood and sawdust depending on the type of mushroom you are growing to maximize yield.
Clear, to the point, and high quality production! You run an awesome channel. Thank you for sharing all this wonderful information!!!
Now to just find the time to try it out. :D
I still have my PF Tek booklet I bought in a head shop in Venice Beach in the 90's. It is how I got started. It is actually a great way to get started.
This tutorial is really amazing!!! Thank You Sir!!!
Thanks Tony. Keeping it straight fwd and clear. 👍
The VERY BEST TUTORIAL. Hands down 🙌.
Going to try my hand at Morel Mushrooms! They can be testy from what I hear. But this video series (pt1 and 2) has given me a confidence boost! Thank you for these videos. I’ve been bitten by the bug!
Hey..my wife and I are seniors, just us eating every night...what a great idea for small "single servings" on folks that are on fixed income too!. Thanks Tony!
It brings me so much joy that you say “thanks so MUSH” :)
Thanks a lot man - I think these two videos are EXCELLENT
Excellent content from all your videos. I am trying to find my preference in method and you are a HUGE help!! Appreciate you.
Fascinating stuff told by a great host! ☕️
Really appreciate your clear concise instructions. Thank you so much. I have not started yet but wondered whether cutting the cakes in half would expose more mycelium and therefore lead to more fruiting.
I have 9 jars going, 4 different strains. I'm about 1.5 weeks in, so I have have several weeks to go, I would imagine, before birthing. Some jars have much more growth than the others, mostly due to them being different strains, but they're all looking good so far.
I've used your vids as a guide, so thank you, and also extensively used the the great documentation that came with my Midwest grow kit. First time grower.
How did it end up?
Thanks for the great tutorial! Very easy to follow. Very informative without being too long.
Hi ! Can you show us how to grow mushrooms from store bought mushrooms! From the beginning with the spores to the end of the results...all the steps through! Thank you so much for sharing all this information with us. I'm so glad that I have found your channel 🍄🍄🍄 Thank you again!😀😀😀
Best explanation I've seen so far, and I've looked...a lot. Thank you.
Video is dope, I always really appreciate the you clearly explain and demonstrate process and methods clearly.
thanks! glad you like it :) thanks so mush for watching
Super smooth effortless watch brother, very well done
Those baby oyster mushroom clusters are freaking ADORABLE!
I'm on day 6 and have pinning, so freaking excited! I'm learning so much, thank you :)
You growing oysters?
@@asamusicdude yeah starting simple :)
Made some oyster mushrooms recently and found them to be very good. Mind-blowingly good in fact.
Dude. Amazing stuff.
You Make it LOOK eASY! I'm definitely going to try this technique. Looks like a great experiment to involve my kids, especially showing different varieties.
I have gone with the pf tech every time I have cultivated mushrooms and it has worked for me. I like to see it documented here. But, I like the spore syringe preparation method and would like to see it demonstrated as well
Sub'd. Thanks very much for taking the time to film this. I learned a lot!
About to be on this step. Learned a ton. Vary cool video, Thank you 😊
Thankyou for the great video! Nuff love!
just love it all the best from munich germany
Great vid, loved the reptile humidifier.
Your videos are really great, I cant wait to see how mine turn out.
Man RESPECT!
What a video..
Those cakes after you've rolled them onto the crumb-thingy(can't spell it) looks surprisingly tasty.
you are the best channel on youtube!
I love this !! I've being doing my own Tempeh for a while now and I thin growing my own mushrooms seems like the most natural next step ever !! Speaking of Tempeh though, that cake looks like a fantastic tempeh cake to me ! haha, so I guess question is, can you make edible cakes from mushroom mycelium ?
I cannot get over how cute he is.
can't wait to do this..thanks for the info..
Great tutorial! If i may add one thing: please use distilled water to mist/fog/dunk. Tap water won't kill fungi but it isn't good for it either because of the added chemicals like fluoride. Just a cheap way to get better yields and its like $1-2 a gallon. Same with the cakes. From A/B tests I've noticed faster colonization and larger yeilds with distilled water.
Keep it up!
People don't wanna hear this info.. they don't know about the chemies in the water because the TV doesn't tell them about it but ur right.
@@mr.e0311its just fluoride and chlorine/chloramide
@@mr.e0311 shut up
Great video for beginners. Can't wait to eat some. thanks
Thank you for posting!!!!🙏🏻
this and part 1 is the most concise pf tek on youtube
I commented on the first vid and this one is also great and it works, thank you
this was great. I have much morer confidence now I CAN do this. You are a wonderful teacher, thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge. Liked and subsribed, and wish me luck. Got everthing set up and ready to go.
Nice video.. very good your way of explaining the steps.
I would like to know what temperature and humidity are ideal for growing these mushrooms.
Thank you for your wonderful videos first time growing and it w a awesome and easy
@FreshCap Mushrooms
Hey, very helpful material Tony! If this isn't the best method for quantity.. is it better to break up the mycelium and grow on a larger surface area? Is it because of the substrate too, like one that's more appropriate according to the strain?
Fantastic videos, thank you! :D Does it make a difference if I keep the fruiting chamber in sunlight, out of direct sunlight, or dark? Also how vulnerable to temperature are the fruiting cakes? I've seen some people use heating pads underneath the box. Should I do that if my house gets cold in winter (like 10c overnight)?
I literally did this in the mid 90’s with a pamphlet and spore syringes that i ordered with a order form clipped out of High Times magazine stuffed into an envelope along with a personal check and sent away to the originator of the Psilocybe Fanaticus Technique via snail mail. Did it many times and blew so many minds. Good times.
Finally here! Yes! Plus, 966 views now, with 30 comments already! Best mushroom channel on TH-cam! 👍
woot woot! thanks for watching :)
@@FreshCapMushrooms Since youtube recommended your 25 mushroom video to me, I can't take my eyes off your channel. It's just so much fun and knowledge!
Thank you for the quick part two release, I have a quick question about vermiculite. Is it ok to use vermiculite thats mixed with a litte perlite? I just bought a bag today and noticed it had some perlite in it, should I return the bag and get just vermiculite? Thank you so much, your "how to get started" video has got me really excited and enamored into growing mushrooms, I've never been this excited before about a particular hobby and I hope to one day start a mushroom farm thanks to you!
How’d your grow go friend?
Very informative thank you
I love it. "Birthing mushrooms". Great video. Thanks
Great video very helpful 👍👍...
All respect towards him 💪
I consider myself quite the mycelium actually. When i see a cake, I'm all over it to! 😁
thanks for a great video. after watching it, it does look very easy to grow. you mentioned there are other ways to grow to have a better yield, mind sharing them? thanks in advance!
Literally the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam, this was very well organized with clear instructions. The only question I have though is do I really have to spray the chamber multiple times a day.. everyday?
as they dry out yes
Gonna use this for legal purposes :)
for oysters and shitakes, of course!
😀
Yeah. Mee too.
Me as well
Me tooooo😉💫
1.5 speed works well. Thanks for sharing m8!
Brilliant.
In terms of nutrition, could you add hard wood saw dust in with the brown rice flour? Also could you use bigger jars? Like a pint?
Could result in a bigger flush or a second flush
Very informative series! What would you say is then the "best" way or a better-yielding method then?
Great videos! Thanks! Which cakes fruited better? The scored ones or the not scored?
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m wondering if we can use the cake as the grain spawn and grow mushrooms in buckets?
Спасибо за простую технологию.
Awesome video I think this is probably the best video on TH-cam explaining the PF tech method. Love your channel man keep it up.
That being said I do have a question, You said a few times in the video PF tech was not the best way to grow to get the highest yield possibl. is there a tech that you could recommend? I would like to do oysters but I have to do them inside because I live in an apartment l, is there a tech that you would recommend for yield? I would like to sell them at at a farmer's market in my area so size and yield is pretty important to me
Wonderful video! I love the method as a starting point! I'm going to be trying to grow mushrooms indoors over the winter as a fresh food supply (and to hopefully help reduce my meat consumption and save a bit of the environment and some change lol) I was wondering if there would be any ways to up the effectiveness of this method, either using a different substrate or larger jars/containers to make bigger cakes to grow from?
Im no expert but you can make a dozen cakes and then when they are full and ready to birth you can break them up into a lasangna pan with a new casing layer, and the 3d jars will end up fruiting 2d, hence way more productive.
Hello Mr. Fresh Cap. Thank you for your content. I was wondering what would be the next best way to produce fungi. I heard you say that there are better ways to produce more quantity of mushrooms and thought that that would be a excellent video to watch and learn. Thank you I advance for your timely reply. JM
Hey Tony! Love your vids.. Quick question: What are your thoughts on fruiting via In Vitro (Top fruiting in jars with zip lock bags over the mouth)?
Hey, first of all great video, very educational, loved it.
Could you give me some advice please? I am trying to grow king oysters in a bucket on straw, it seems to be fully colonised, but they won't fuit, I have the same issue on my compost cakes. They seem fully colonised but won't fruit. Have you got any advice?
Edit: I try growing them inside because of dry climate.
Im addicted you got me hooked.
I was interested in checking out the mushroom fest in teluride infortunately my job has that time blacked out. :(
But i have grain spawn inoculated as we speak and im debating on buying more sryinges what is your favorite flavor?
