- Learn this simple method to grow mushrooms outdoors in your garden, by creating a woodchip mushroom bed.
You'll see how we create a 4m2 mushroom bed and inoculate it with spawn from the Wine Cap mushroom (also often known as King Stropharia or Garden Giant).
We created this bed in March by layering the spawn in between layers of woodchip. The first crop of mushrooms was harvested from the garden in September.

Tbh it’s hard to find videos this simple and informative
Mushrooms taste really good I saw this vid since I'm gonna move to a house with alot of space and soil 😋
Thanks for doing this video, I would rather grow mushrooms like this than other techniques....
Oh wow. Thankyou for this valuable info. I will be trying this
Great idea! Nice setup
That was very educational video.
Thank you
I turned my entire garden (2000 m2) into a winecap mushroom bed. Wood chips FTW.
is it possible to buy a bag of spawns to scatter just as in this video?
@@markthornemarmaduke Yes.
GREAT
LOVE THE GARDEN
Really helpful, thank you.
i love mushrooms! theyre so weirdly cute and spongy
Sounds great! I was finally able to get woodchips this year, so will have to get started on this!
Great video content!
Thanks for this video. Mushrooms are becoming a more and more important part of our diet, but in the stores anything that's not a button mushroom is usually very expensive. Will start to experiment with growing my own outside this year. Already had good success indoors with premade kits, but the whole cellar is full of spores now ^^.
here's a few tips worth trying
select the best variety - there are lots available.
grow them in the right environment - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and can be placed outdoors
(I read these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
here's several suggestions worth trying
pick the top variety - there are many available.
grow them in the best environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be placed outdoors

Wattyty o noooo are u serious . .so maybe I shouldn't grow much rooms in my room
Very informative
Excellent video. I am due to start my first beds. I quite fancy a straw bed, and a wood chip one. That way I hope to have two varieties to choose from.
Thanks for sharing
cool cool
Wonderful vid!
excellent....
Cool stuff !
I use woodchips in my veggie garden and I have mushrooms pop up there all the time and I never water. It rains often here. Finally I have something to grow in the woods behind my garden
I will be doing this in my new house next year..
..will update with my results ;)
Liked, commented, and subscribed
Planted my first wine caps yesterday 👍
You could use the stem butt's for paul stamets "one dowel method". Basically innoculating a whole bunch of substrate with stem butts. Wet cardboard is supposed to work great as a first start and then a box full of wood dowels under some shade in the garden.
hello sir ..nice one i wish one day i taste that mushroom😉..i enjoy watching here from Philippines..
im stoked to start growing!!!!
Good luck with it!
The best viedo ever
Imagine it waits to loooonnnggggg to harvest the mushroom wow!
Great vid, doable for little outlay or trial, love the out take with the rake. Blueberrybob
Hi Guys,
Nice! I didn't see the part you had mentioned about keeping out pests? Here in Hawaii we have loads of slugs. I have an idea to put copper tape around something like strips of Formica, then circle the clusters as soon as they appear. Also on the top of these strips of Formica I was going to add some fungus gnat/fly tape. I haven't made these yet. Always so much to do.
Yes that could help to do that. It is difficult to stop pests completely when growing outside. The best thing is to just harvest early on before the cap opens up
Every night, check the mushrooms with a flashlight and a pair of scissors (cutting the slugs in half). Keep doing that for two or three weeks to break their reproductive cycle and eradicate them from your garden.
The slugs do indeed love the winecap mushrooms, which is great if you're also growing lettuce etc. Makes it very easy to exterminate them.
Hey there, Really enjoy your videos! Three quick questions for you. 1) Can I create a King Strapharia bed in Fall?? Or do I need to wait until Spring? It's Oct 19th and I'm in the Seattle area. 2) What type of wood chip do you recommend? 3) Are you using water directly from the hose to wet down your bed?? Or do I need to use hose water from a barrel after the chlorine has evaporated. Thanks!
That's exactly what I was looking for. I just need to buy the sporus one time and then year after year give the mushroom more food, that is, wood for them.
fantastic video! curious did you treat/pasteurised the wood chips?
Can you grow more than one variety at a time in one bed? Also will they have trouble in different climates like very hot or cold winter months? Assuming you keep them moist always. Do you need to keep them moist weekly in the nongrowing season as well?
They will compete, but yes. You can grow different mushrooms in the same bed. If you want to grow them, look into what works best for your climate, as some cannot deal with hard frosts very well and some cant handle high heat. And yes, they need constant moisture even when they are not fruiting
Very informative. Should i ause or avoid any particular woodchip, eg conifer, fresh vs old chipps etc?
Nice vid
Ha ha mid (:
here, oyster mushroom and ear mushroom grow wildly, as long as there wood and wet. also we grow mushroom with corncob
Thanks for this informative video. Do you need to replace the cardboard every year or so?
I LOVE MUSHROOMS OK!
Hi. Thanks for the video. Can we do this with regular mushrooms (ie button or chestnut mushrooms) and any recommendations for where to buy the spawn? Is it too late (end March)? Is vermiculite any good for keeping moisture in? I've been unsuccessful with a few attempts of growing them indoors
Did you pasteurize the wood chips and/or straw?
Thank You! What if we have mainly softwoods around here? Are there some mushroom varieties that would do well?
I just did it in mid March. I am not sure if it was not too early.
There are a few suggestions worth trying
pick the top type - there are many available.

Thanks for your video. I want to try in my backyard under the tree. Is it possible to grow outdoor in Canada during the winter? I am living in Ottawa, the winter can be as cold as -30 degrees.
Good day. Great video. Can I use any kind of wood chips in my beds or do I need a special kind of wood chips
Hi. I am very interested in making one of these beds. I am wondering, (because this is seasonal) if you can recommend different spawn to use for maybe 4 different beds for production throughout the year
Thanks for this great video. We started a Red Wine Cap bed over at Wakelyns last spring, only 8m x .75 and harvested 50kg from it last year in 4 flushes!! I was amazed and our CSA veg share customers and local wholesale buyers loved them.
I'm curious why you use the plucking harvesting method rather than cutting? Is there a reason why?
Do You sterilize the wood-chips/substrate before adding the spores?
I am very interested in starting some outdoor bed and am in the process of planning it out. I'd love to have a winecap or oysterbed. My question for doing the mono-culture grow, a wood bed for winecaps, does the bed eventually become compost?
I am also growing them
I’m trying this at the moment, having made the bed a few weeks ago. Now, reading Mycelium Running, I wonder whether the cardboard and wood chip should be watered at each layer, so the spawn doesn’t come into contact with a dry surface.
Can we do variations of this indoor? Say inside stainless steel hotel pans of shallow storage containers?
What is 'spon'? that was added in between wood chips?
Should I use grain spawn or sawdust spawn? Thanks for the vid btw ✌️
you can use either...with grain spawn you can face issues with mice digging it up, so sawdust spawn is preferable, but we've also made beds fine with grain spawn in the past as well
can i use new wood chip(not dry) for bedding?
Can you put straw over the wood chips in a few layers?
Do the wood chips need to be made pasteurized?
Can I do that with a plastic container with mushroom compost?
Can you start this any time of year?
Thanks for the video - we have the perfect spot for this. Would it be best to wait until autumn to plant the mushrooms, or could we do it now (in SW UK)?
now is the perfect time to start in the northern hemisphere
Brilliant, thanks. We’ll let you know how it goes.
Can use the same method to grow oyster or milky mushrooms? Do we need to sterilize it?
What of the wood chip good to grow mushroom?
Were do i get straw from?
What are the varieties best growth in the garden?
Did you guys sterilise or pasteurise the wood chips or straw?
I live in Michigan will the mushooms come back ever year for me? Would I have to put on a cover of strw or leaves and a protective cover to keep anima;s out?
where did you get the spawn fro. I live close by so could use the same supplier
i have the same question:)have you got the answer?
What kind of wood chip or from which specifically tree? Also, why here you don’t need sanitizing the area but you would if you do it in a bag or bucket? 🤔
What mushrooms can I grow late in the year and early In the year.
Can't wait to make cream of mushroom soup
What is the best mixture for producing white mushrooms?
Will it survive in the winter?
In southern hot and dry climate, when is the best time to set up the bed and when would you expect a harvest?
Im in central texas and I have a few shady spots in my yard where I want to try this. If I plant in spring will the bed survive the hot summer and can I expect to harvest in fall? or should I plant in winter and harvest early summer?
you can start at anytime of year really, but late winter or early spring is best...then water it regularly during hot/dry weather through the summertime and you should expect a harvest in the late summer of early autumn
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about how do you grow mushrooms at home try Panlarko Grow Mushroom Planner (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Would this method work well when combined with growing a low shade creating plant such as strawberries instead of shade cloth, to try and maximise on yield. or do you think the bed would be too nutrient deficient with only one or two mulch and straw top ups a year?
Great video thank you very much!
I think is is a great idea and we have put this into practice with squash & pumpkins instead of strawberries
@@GroCycleTV How are the pumpkins are they coexisting well? Im going to assume they will, looks like its also would it be possible to put it in a large black garbage bag instead of the floor? poke a few holes in the bottom for drainage and keep it somewhere shady.
tomt637 I looked up a peer reviewed article about wine caps’ effects on soil and it found that they actually increase the organic matter and phosphorus levels because they break down the wood and eat other nutrients that plants don’t need leaving behind the good stuff and they actually recommended growing them in a farm setting, saying that could be surprisingly useful there.
Could they be grown in large shallow pots? I tried logs with no success .
Can one plant it on October?
Can I use home made compost and coffee grounds instead of woodchips or straw ?
Are you located in Canada
Can I grow mushrooms outside during winter? It's November in northern California. Never snows. 50s-60s during the day and high 30s at night. Thanks.
How many years will these mushrooms continue to grow?
When did u spawn...
Do u remove dat material after d mushroom begins to grow?
Like whatinihg.hòw to grow learn the techniques that. You use.
Will this method work for most mushrooms?
Can we grow reishi (lingzhi) like this?
Sorry if this was already asked but - a lot of the videos I've seen all talk about disinfecting or boiling the material you are going to grow in - is this true in the method you used with the wood chips? I saw everyone walking all over the bed and it doesn't seem as important? what are the rules to this?
I've just bought a house with a small garden, and I'm trying to work out how to make the best use of that garden for food production, and I've been wondering what to do along the southern edge in the shade of the fence. Would I be right in thinking that growing mushrooms would be a good way to make a shaded area productive? I know mushrooms don't photosynthesise, so do you think it would be a good use of shaded space? Is too much direct sunlight actually bad for mushrooms? Thanks.
Yes establishing a mushroom bed could be a great use for a space like that. It won't fruit every week, but you will get at least 2-3 harvests each season, sometime more. Too mush sunlight is not desirable when growing outside as it dries the substrate and the mushrooms out, so a shaded spot is ideal
So mushrooms are perennials. I notice pulled up the root along with the mushroom. is that the correct way to harvest them?
How we differentiates poisonous and non poisonous mushrooms by just looks ?
Thank you! Such a helpful video. I have ordered some wine cap spawn online and waiting for it to arrive. Our patch is under the raspberries. I had a sudden panic attack this morning though: What if it spreads to my 150 year old magnolia tree? Could it kill my tree?
No it will not harm the tree. It will form a symbiotic relationship. :)
Thanks!
Does the mycelium stay stagnant over the winter or disintegrate/repopulate naturally when it warms up? What's the temp there and/or the temp range that you'd think this would be possible? Were you happy with the yield you got as well? Thanks much for the info guys, y'all are pioneers!
Stays stagnate, and will freeze/recover.
Like John says, the mycelium just stays dormant in colder temperatures and then starts growing again when it warms up. Ideal temperatures for growth to occur are between 10C - 30C. The yield we got from the 1st year of this bed was probably around 1kg, so yeah worth the effort and we'll keep feeding it for the years ahead.
Hi, great information in growing mushrooms! Question - Can one use sawdust instead of woodchip? My son throws out bags of sawdust from his workshop, so it would be great if this can be used? I am new at gardening, I am a pensioner trying to create my own food here in Scotland. Many thanks!
Straw and sawdust are nitrogen poor and semi-selective for mushrooms. Usually, these substrates are supplemented with nitrogen to increase mushrooms yields. When nitrogen is added, however, selectivity is somewhat lost (other fungi will grow in the substrate). All depends really mate! It can work, But I would honestly use wood chippings personally mate :)
Give it a try! Research what species likes woodchips best. Mushrooms are crafty and will grow if you let them!
Yes you can grow on just sawdust. Just make sure its only hardwood.
Wood chip from cedar will grow nothing because is very oily and this kill the mushrooms 🍄 🔪
@@lewisf9858 how is sawdust nitrogen poor but woodchips not?? they are the same thing except in different sizes!
Can I use cardboard instead of woodchips for oyster mushrooms?
Very helpful video!
Quick question: Does the wood chip need to be from a specific type of tree?
We’re just starting out but plan to grow various varieties of mushroom as well as other produce.
Hardwood chips or pine/evergreen chips?
I did this, but a different, non-edible mushroom popped up. What did I do wrong, and is there any way to fix this, or do I need to start all over with new spawn?
It wouldn't hurt to water after putting each layer.
What's the purpose of the cardboard on the bottom?
Can you mix different spawn in one bed? Also I live in Maine and it seems like this takes a long time to produce. Would I be able to do this in my climate? Thanks!
No don't mix different spawns they will compete with each other and will reduce your yields.
