North Spore visits Chuck from Shady Grove Farm in Western Maine, to see how he makes his outdoor mushroom beds. In this video we walk through making an outdoor woodchip bed inoculated with Nameko (Pholiota nameko) mushrooms, a composted animal manure bed for Almond Agaricus, and a simple straw bed for growing oyster mushrooms or wine caps or garden giant mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata).
2:51 Making a wood chip bed for Nameko or Wine Caps
5:09 Making a composted manure bed for manure loving mushrooms (Agaricus, Shaggy Mane, etc.)
6:31 Making a straw bed for pink oyster mushrooms or wine caps (any variety of oyster mushroom will work with this method)
Below are links to substrate and spawn varieties that will work with the methods in the video!

The mushroom hobby alone saved my life. It gave me an escape from my day to day hardships and always left me with happiness and a strive to learn more. I wish everyone luck on their journey cultivating mushrooms! Theres so much joy to have in it.
Absolutely love you
I found an oyster mushroom kit on clearance. So I did a tiny amount of research and used the grain and some straw to fill some baskets just to see what happened. It worked and caused a new hobby to form. Now I have three different types growing inside and outside.
Woohoo!
Das läuft ja prima!
How many times can you keep harvesting if you keep adding substrate?
@@TheOriginalGenghis As long as the mushrooms are fed with substrate, don't get out-ran, are not allowed to dry out/get soaked, etc they should keep producing for you. sealed logs are apparently able to produce for several years or longer for that very reason.
Thank you so much for sharing I needed this info
Your production values are way ahead of average youtube howtos. Music is not constant or annoying. You edit it down so we see the important info quickly. You don't spend too much time showing stuff being done but what you show is artful and concise. I am very impressed. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the great info.
Appreciate it! Let us know if you have any questions, we're here to help!
@@NorthSpore anyone grow Shiitake in grass THATCH. 'natch. ??
@@NorthSporehi I live in Austria and I would like to plant mushrooms in my garden...could u please guide me with the material and what to plan in this time of the year?
I’ve recently become a bit obsessed with mushrooms. It hit me out of nowhere. There’s so many colors and types of fungi it’s just so cool how they share nutrients and interconnect. I can’t wait to have my very own patch of land one of these days to grow these. You guys are living my dream.
Love to hear it! Let us know if you have any questions.
Same here, they are expensive and their are so many it really is amazing.
Just recieved my wine caps and morels are soon on the way. Just got wine caps tucked into their new home and I can not wait to see these guys come alive. I am so excited. Thank you North Spore for being so great at what you do and making it possible for others to take a leap of faith in doing for themselves.
I really like this video because he doesn't use cardboard or newspaper under mulch and includes leaves in the list of materials. Leaves are my basic mulch, with compost on top to sprout seeds, and all I have to add is wood, like the twisty willow twigs that constantly fall off our huge tree, wood waste, and maybe wood chips.
I used newspaper and cardboard under mulch for 20 years. But two years of gardening other people's yards showed me that the cellulose layer either was quickly consumed by worms or was not consumed and stopped the flow of water and nutrients to the soil. It either had no effect, or it was pernicious. 2 inches of wood chips will stop weed seeds smaller than 1/8 inch.
This is great advice and I'm going to take it into account!
Great low tech ways of starting mushrooms outdoors. Thanks for sharing your video.
Just wanted to say that I love your videos and you are definitely teaching me a lot. I appreciate it.
Great quality info and straight to the point. Thank you guys!
Thank you for your great videos. I live in Minnesota (zone 4), so I appreciate your comments on growing in cold climates.
Reach out with questions anytime!
Very nice explanation, I am growing oyester mushroom in an outside bed... It's been almost 2 weeks, and I can actually see the mycelium spread and the mycelium chunk through the gaps in the straw,it is very fascinating and exciting to watch them grow with little bit of attention from my side. Waiting for them to fruit.Love from India
This is awesome! Will definitely look into growing oyster mushrooms and/or wine caps.
Happy to help answer questions along the way!
I love that old mill building with the waterfall view.
Isn't it such a beautiful sight? We are lucky to be able to enjoy it every day!
Very interesting. Thank you. Thank you also for including subject/time indicators.
No problem! Thank you for watching!
Thank you, I quite like the way you are growing mushrooms
I haven't found allot of info regarding wine cap working on composted animal manure, so its great to hear you mention it works well. Thanks :)
No problem!
This is awesome guys. Keep it simple. Just found your site recently and we ordered some tinctures. Keep it up.
Thanks for your support!
Can't wait to start.
I have a wet backyard greenbelt area. Great idea!
Me again lol My Nameko mushrooms came-out!! I was expecting them to pop-up in like September-October but no, I actually cooked and ate some two days ago. I am so happy!! Thank You guys. As a first time experiment of growing mushrooms outside, this was an amazing experience. Gonna bother You guys for more spores next spring. Cheers!
That is great to hear! So glad you are enjoying your bounty. Reach out anytime!
Ooooo I’m growing mushrooms in the garden this year I honestly can’t wait I’m so excited!! It’s really really cool that you can grow them yourself
That's excellent to hear! I'm really excited to get started with my mushroom projects as well.
@@NorthSpore I’ve never grown them outside before! I’m hoping it works well!
Very informative and basic instructions for us beginners
Great video. This is the first video of yours I've watched. I'm looking for a few types to grow, as easy as possible, for zone 9b in Florida. I love this in ground method, being off grid, this makes sense.
Thanks! Florida is a great place for heat loving Pink Oysters and Wine Cap is a popular choice all around due to its large fruiting temperature range.
Cool video! I'm glad I found you guys!
Thanks for your support!
Holy smokes!!! Those are beautiful!!! 😲
Thanks for your support!
Amazing stuff! Peace and blessings to all mushrooms lovers and others alike🌊💕
So glad you enjoyed it!
Everything looks good! And so easy to make the beds too! Love it! Let nature take the wheel
That's the plan!

We will! Thanks for watching and the for the kind words!
Very excited for all these new videos
Thanks! We are trying to keep them coming!
Spectacular show, thank you for the tips.
Our pleasure!
this is a cool video, well produced and interesting content. Thank you
Thanks for watching it! Think you'll try growing mushrooms in beds?
@@NorthSpore Yes, I would like to try this in my garden
So great guys. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you, we sure will!
So glad I found this channel. I'm in eastern NH, so nearly identical climate to western Maine. These techniques should work perfect
New subscriber!
Thanks for the sub! Good luck with your grow!
@@NorthSpore Thanks! You'll know when we start: I buy local. My wife and I will drive up for spawn and say hello :)
thanks for reminding me to go water my logs :)
Me too! It's been very dry in Maine.
@@NorthSpore do you ever dunk them?
Wow this is awesome, I need to start growing some mushrooms this year. 🙌🏼🙏🏼🤩

Beautiful, thanks.
Westsbrook Maine... I went to college in Gorham when it was the University of Maine (but the best Pizza was in Westbrook.) Now I grow mushrooms in Florida.
I like to call Downtown Westbrook the Pizza Mile!
cool! i d never learnt about mushies except those funny ones.. 😂
Very informative.. 👍 I need to try some of these beds. I will look into buying some of your product. Have a fantastic day..!!

Thanks for your support!
Excellent video. I'm in the south. I think i can take advantage of most of these. Thank you🤗🤗🤗🤗
Good luck with your grows!
BRILLIANCE !!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video us Brits hardly no anything about mushrooms and I used to walk in the woods passing so many edible ones and not know it..I'd have my book but was so wary so missed many I have the perfect place under holly trees in the shade I've been saving organic material all year in a compost bin..now I know which ones to buy and get started ty all and wish me luck..
Good luck! once you learn your mushroom species walking in the woods will never be the same!
I'm here in NW New Brunswick, Canada. Love your videos. Thanks for this one!
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
so helpful! thanks guys
Reach out with questions anytime!
I notice the ferns and the fir trees near the patch, I guess the climate must be already very conductive for mushrooms, even the wild ones.
Humid and warm conditions can go a long way!
Great vid!
Thanks for your support!
I’d like to see a long range growing of mushrooms like how people till the land for very long rows of corn for example but without the tilling for mushrooms
I just harvested golden oysters! They are so yummy!
Woohoo!
Wow this method is interesting. I am planning to do such. thanks I found your channel. New friend here. Keep it up.
Thanks for your support!
Oh my GOD!
It looks like the view from Harvest moon game in Fall!
I really want to pick them by myself!
Grab yourself a mushroom ID book like Mushrooms Demystified and get started!
Hello pretty
Thank you so much!!!!
Love mushrooms!!
We do too! Have you ever grown them at home?
@@NorthSpore No, but I plan to. My garden is almost ready for a woodchip mulch, and i will inoculate a few areas with edible mushrooms!!
Thank you. We are making a lifestyle change from a city in Australia to a one acre bush block in another state of Australia. One of the things that we have been interested in are mushrooms. This seems like it is very low cost.
It's very low cost and effective. It's a great introduction to outdoor mushroom growing.
I know AU has many climates, but if you are in a dry , hot area it will take more attention than the NE US
Awesome video! These are great techniques for the broke ass college students like me
Exactly! Making outdoor beds is one of the most cost effective ways of growing edible mushrooms at home.
Same 😆
Just wait till you graduate and join the "newly poor"
I mean unless you chose wisely when your advisor offered you the Grail, I mean your major. . .
Lol
Nice work
Thanks for your support!
That's awesome
Thank you!
Thanks. Wish I still lived in Maine.
Come back!
planning to do this this year
excellent. Let us know how it turns out!
Great video
Mush love! Reach out with questions anytime!
So I got my Wine Cap spore in April. Had it in the garden in early May. The mycelium looked terrific in July. By August end I was starting to fret at no results. I blamed my site. I blamed the small furry and feathered garden visitors. Heck I even blamed the gardener which I almost never do. Then one glorious September morning found my garden walkway festooned with beautiful deep red mushrooms. I am guessing we are getting close to having picked two bushel now. I wasn't ready for the volume! Thank you!
Love to hear it! They are pretty heat tolerant but really prefer to fruit in cooler temps so you may see another flush again this fall!
Awesome!
Glad you think so! Here to answer questions along the way as well!
Magic 🍄
very cool i love it. definitely trying this in the spring! any ballpark numbers on yield per bag with these methods? and how long will they produce?
Terrific
Mush love!
Cool, thank you.
You're welcome! Reach out with any questions!
Really think you guys are doing a pretty cool thing.
Mush love!
Great FYI...I have been wanting to grow shrooms for the family but wanted to utilize natural conditions and as low tech as possible.
😊 God so much for sharing an ideas bro from Philippines
God bless you more technic
Mush love!
THANKSGIVING
:)
Hello there! Quick question: Are the substrates used here pasteurized, sterilized or "just as is"?
Gonna give this a try here in Utah.
Definitely go for it! Which species are you going to try to grow?
@@NorthSpore most likely oysters. I'm a newbie, and so I'm open to suggestions. I have a forest micro-climate in the backyard, with complete shade, lots of organic matter, and good water coverage. Temps are usually 8-10 degrees cooler. And we have about 20 fruit trees back there that have produced really rich soil with lots of organic matter. So hopefully it will work well.
Are there other mushrooms you would suggest?
@@scottrafferty6305 any of the psilocybe cubensis species
Got some wine caps from you guys, followed the instructions and glad to see that I did it right! Looking forward to the fall and harvest!!! Thanks for mentioning the Almond mushrooms… will also branch out with those as the climate here is Mediterranean. Super Stoked!!! Thx 🙏 PS where can I get an awesome North Spore t-shirt? #winecaps #medclimate #growyourownfungusamongus #mushrooms #northspore
Happy to help! You can find our merch here: northspore.com/collections/gear
We used to get the best mushrooms on the golf course greens about 20 ft into the forest tree line
Great, thanks!
Mush love!
Great video! Can you start a new bed without buying new spawns by using the mycelium from the established bed or will the quality deteriorates after awhile ?
That usually works and works especially well with Wine Cap. Just take a shovel full of your myceliated bed and mix it into your raw chips or straw. I haven't tried to do this with Namekos or Almond Agaricus but I imagine it would work. One of the great things about growing mushrooms in beds is how easy it is to spread them!
There are several tips to try
pick the best type - there are lots available.
grow them in the best environment - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and can be put outside (I discovered these and the reasons they work on Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
once i diged in to the soil old discarded bale of oysters on woodchips with some sawdust, straw, and bunch of rye bran, it kept giving fruits for next two years after each rain or good watering, not to much kgs but for personal use good one
Awesome work! You can continue to add fresh material to your bed every year to encourage more flushes.
Like that's great eating wine cap's off straw I'll try
Awesome
Thanks!
Great! I love this video. What mushrooms are great for tropical climates? I live in the caribbean and I want to grow my own mushrooms.
Thanks so much...gonna incorporate into geothermal greenhouse garden planning!
Sounds great!
love the name...shady grove...GD rip Jerry
Thanks for this! I have some peat - can I use that? Also, will I hurt my pine trees by growing mushroom underneath them?
Awesome simple video just what I needed to know thank you. Btw can you use any wood chips?(additives free of course).
Thanks for your support! Hardwood chips are best, avoid conifers.
That's cool
The coolest!
For wine caps when do you recommend to start a new bed? March or April? Would I get a fall fruiting?
Either of those months work well. You're likely to get summer and fall fruitings
Thank you for the video. I've used on of your mushroom kits before and it worked out really well. I live in a small, shady aparment that has a small balcony. Is this outdoor operation something I can replicate in a planter box? Thank you for your help.
You can certainly use containers to grow in! Laundry baskets, buckets, and pots are all vessels commonly used for grows. Check out this article on our site to get a good idea: northspore.com/pages/mushroom-garden
@@NorthSpore Thanks for the reply. I will check it out.
