Mushroom Mike! 🍄 Thank you for sharing your expertise with the world. You are inspiring farmers across the world to take the plunge into urban mushrooms! You've inspired me to try and learn this trade. This is literally the best content I've ever seen.
Would you be so kind to disclose what impulse sealers you are using? We are struggling to find ones that produce a proper seal. That would be super helpful. Thanks for all the superb videos!
I have picked up so many good detail watching this video. I was looking for an example of inoculating master's mix with Lion's Mane grain spawn, and here you are doing an amazing job. Also, I work in software and do some work our process improvement. You had many excellent examples of time saving, e.g., your 10 second sealer, the line. You have a lot to offer both in terms of mycology, as well as so-called (in the US) Lean production. Rock on!
I've learned so much from the videos. I've started my own liquid cultures. I've played with agar. I have started Lions Mane, Blue and Pink Oysters. You are an infinite well of knowledge. Thank you.
I have plenty of spawn but have only ever used a monotub for fruiting. I recently wanted to get into using the bags, they just seemed tidier but I had so many questions, especially given that I already have spawn so I am not starting with a bag grow. its been a challenge finding detailed information about this particular stage- This is EXACTLY what I needed to know. leaving air in the bags etc, everything
About how many 10lb substrate bags do you innoculate with each bag of captured grain spawn? About how much does your bag of spawn weigh? I am attempting to do a cost analysis based of costs in my area. Thanks for your videos, and just in general your outlook and willingness to share your knowledge.
Thank you for all your great videos! Do you have any thoughts or concerns about heating the substrate in plastic? Do you see it as a practical/business necessity, and compared to the good the mushrooms bring, the risk is worth it and besides, the bags are approved by the food authorities for the purpose? Is that a real concern, or must be seen more in perspective about all life risks? I appreciate your general take on things, this topic included. Thanks again! I'd hate to let my own reservations stop me, which I guess they do for all of us to some extent. I mean the purist in me says log-grown, or glass, or maybe pottery......but then it is really hard to work it as a business.
Hello from Spain, first of all, congratulate you for all your great work, I wanted to ask you the model of the machine you have to seal the bags, I have already bought 3 machines and they do not seal the bags well, please help
Great information as always. I just started growing some Italian Oysters with wheat pellets. But want to switch to sawdust and sawdust loving mushrooms. Was wondering if you can store the sterilized substrate for when you plan to inoculate multiple blocks at once?
Hi. Can I do this one my own as 1 person? Will it work if I use my 3rd flush shiitake brick and I break it up into oak pellet bags? Can I do that without having to do sterilization etc like just pour boiling water onto the oak pellets, don't add any nutrition into a bag and add parts of the spent brick and close the bag and let it sit, will that be successful for me if I don't have a sterilizer and flow hood and I'm just 1 lady not a company? Thank you so much! I just want to keep my shiitake brick going because I love shiitake mushrooms they're so good and I want to have a lifetime supply every day. I like to make mushroom soup and eggs and cheese with shiitake, tomato and spinach.
Hey I just had a bag of chestnut spawn and a grow kit of reishi come from southwest Msuhrooms! Firstly Thank you it all looks wonderful! I do have a question though, am I able to store the spawn in the fridge until my sterilizer comes in? Should be a few weeks out....
Are these filters 5 7/8" deep? How long do these filter last? I'm trying to build a flow cabinet, but I don't want to use the 11.5" deep model. Does the depth really affect the life of the filter much?
can you tell us what brand of heat sealer those are please ? i have found wheat bran to be as good as soy hulls and is much easier to find & cheaper than soy hull pellets
Hello, it is very interesting video. I would like to ask you. Do the particle size distribution of the substrate influence the mycelium growth? Could you please let me know?
Yes it will, that's typically why people use those smaller grains for spawn. The more grains in your substrate the more contact points there are for mycelium to grab hold and start taking over.
@@milkosborgescabrera5324 Yeah another trick I learned from him was to break up your fruiting block when it's half way through inoculation to spread the growing mycelium out, it will speed it up a bit.
generally mushroom growers do not hire those that have a basic interest in getting into growing mushrooms, every grower has a video about this & the reasons why
Don't you get contamination issues with the limited hight of your laminar flow? Seems quite edgy when you innoculate the XLS bulk bags with your grains.
I always wonder the same thing. If it sealed itself off, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t work 🤔 never heard it doesn’t work. But also never see anyone do that.
No reason why you couldn't other than it's wasteful of your liquid culture, and colonization would take longer than it does on the more nutritious grain. By using grain spawn to inoculate the substrate, you are doing two things: *1.* You're supplementing the substrate with extra nutrients provided by the grain and, *2.* you're inoculating with 1000x more mycelium than what a squirt of LC would provide. The intermediate step of making grain spawn is going to give you a much faster turnover, and by ensuring rapid colonization of the substrate, you'll reduce contamination risk.
My guess is he mix the substrate before putting it in the bags. I see many other growers adding sawdust, grains and water directly to the bags before mixing it.
You can get all products from this dude I ordered from his got Lsd, Dmt, Chocolate hocolate bars, Microdose, Psychedelic, Shrooms, Spores, Syringe and lot more, he could direct you also if you're a newbie..
They have a video showing them making a ton of bags. Basically the same as everybody else. Half soybean hull, half sawdust pellets. Mix in water. Mix it all together. Put it in the bag. Sterilize. Add grain spawn.

Thank you.
How do you make liquid culture? I can buy Petrie dish cultures, do you use them to make more liquid?
I'm about to get my first flush off my first shiitake block, and it all started watching your channel.
I love how your small talk is actually just loads of useful information that most people wouldnt even think about.....
What brand of magnetic impulse sealer is that? I can't afford to buy another bad one.
Always a pleasure to watch the master ;)
thankyou for another awesome video. really dig learning from you!

Good afternoon, at what temperature do you recommend storing the bags with lion's mane?
thank yoy! you are my inspiration
Can you make a video about the humidity and temperature in the mushroom room?
Professional at work!!! :)
It will works when u simply use LC to the substrate or u need that grain spawn first?
Those bags can really take a beating, literally
Thank U so much for the nice content
Hello from Spain, first of all, congratulate you for all your great work, I wanted to ask you the model of the machine you have to seal the bags, I have already bought 3 machines and they do not seal the bags well, please help

the FBI is watching LOL
@@themyceliumnetwork let em' watch they ain't got jurisdiction, 10x 40L mono it's perci swear down 😂
Besides grain prep he doesn't go over much of anything that has to do with how you grow those kinds.

So how much grain spawn would you put in to 10lbs substrate bags?
Why can't one not directly inoculate supplemented sawdust with syringes?
Thanks for your videos
Hey I just had a bag of chestnut spawn and a grow kit of reishi come from southwest Msuhrooms! Firstly Thank you it all looks wonderful! I do have a question though, am I able to store the spawn in the fridge until my sterilizer comes in? Should be a few weeks out....
how about you shake up the bags in a concrete mixer?

- "Thats like... two. alot of seconds"
Are these filters 5 7/8" deep?
How long do these filter last? I'm trying to build a flow cabinet, but I don't want to use the 11.5" deep model. Does the depth really affect the life of the filter much?
ive watched this video a dozen times and i still cannot get it. how is he innoculating the bags??

Hey Mike, what kinda air filtration, and sterilizers do you guys use most often?
what is thar mesh wall for?
I don’t understand, Do the mushrooms grow through the plastic?
He cuts a hole in the plastic then they grow from there

Why add air to the bag? Is it alway necessary
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to inoculate without a flow hood?
I do mine in the bathroom. Not many porous surfaces there.
Don't you get contamination issues with the limited hight of your laminar flow? Seems quite edgy when you innoculate the XLS bulk bags with your grains.
What would be the issue with contamination? Is it that the mycelium wouldn't grow, or that it could create a poisonous result?
I sent you an email last week, Mike. Would be great to hear from you. Great video!
Aren't the tops of your bags sticking right out into that dirty eddy current at the top of your air stream? Is that an issue?
LoL
Nice1
Why can't you just inject LC into substrate bags
I always wonder the same thing. If it sealed itself off, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t work 🤔 never heard it doesn’t work. But also never see anyone do that.

Yo, what kind of sealers are those? I can't find them online anywhere?

Whats your secret so that the bags are so clean above the substrate line?
My guess is he mix the substrate before putting it in the bags. I see many other growers adding sawdust, grains and water directly to the bags before mixing it.
i see mike is now dry bagging his substrate

Mike how Do you prepare your sawdust substrate would it be possible for you to put some light on video on it.
They have a video showing them making a ton of bags. Basically the same as everybody else. Half soybean hull, half sawdust pellets. Mix in water. Mix it all together. Put it in the bag. Sterilize. Add grain spawn.
