This is crucial. I've got more information on practice and technique from this one video then I have in the last two days of binge-watching mushroom farmer vids. Much appreciated🙏
For anyone curios, a PID controller is a controller that is used in many industrial processes or various kinds of machinery. It stands for Proportional Integral Derivative, which describes how the controller is constructed mathematically. The PI-part determines how quickly the state of the process is changed (the temperature in this case) while the D-part is there to soften out any oscillations that might occur. The convenient thing about a PID controller is that it doesn't require any physical modelling of the machine itself, instead it's just a matter of fine tuning three different constants. Some controllers even have the ability to fine tune those constants by itself as more measurements of step responses are made.
"...well, they're good for a lot of things." You might be my favorite mushroomer on youtube next to Brian Callow. Aside from the obvious reasons, you make this all less intimidating for beginners. You explain it in easier to understand terms, and it is really appreciated.
These videos are great! I waded through sooo many before I found yours! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you making these. HUGE help. You made it very enjoyable to watch.
I've spent a lot of time watching at how to grow Mushroom in the last week or so. This is just what I needed. Great information and great personality. Please keep it up, love your take on mushrooming.
Great information here, I'm just beginning to learn mushrooms and this was very helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial video.
Your videos have filled in a lot of blanks I've had about the process. People just seem to skim over stuff but seeing you do things in real time helps.
how long do i put 5 pound bags in the pressure cooker for? Cant afford a drum now. And how much water in there? Im going to start with the presto. Do you have a video for that? Thank you.
@@pollopollo3531 it depends on what size of presto pressure cooker you have for bags is a lot for a presto it won't fit in a 23 quart put it all the way to the bottom of the damn thing and put water halfway up the bags
Greetings from Finland. I am going to try grow mushrooms the same way as you do. I have a vacuum sealer, I am going to use it to suck all the air out from the bags.
I dont know if you are still doing it the same way but if you are you should look up a sandbag filler. It is just a thing to hold the bag up and open so you can fill it easier.
Pid: proportional integral reset I believe. And just lets you fine tune the right set point accurately. Awesome and interesting also. Lots of hard work too but looks worth it. Thanks for the video 🙏🏼 🍄🍄🍄
I saw Eric’s kit. Can you purchase a sterilizer already built like that? I am not good at building stuff. I’d love to purchase a large barrel sterilizer already built. I have to say I am impressed and good job for 4 months in. You inspire me to get on it. Thank you
Awesome!!! Funny you ask, yes you can buy them from Bubba's Barrels (I don't build either girl!) but I'm actually selling the Bubba's one behind me very discounted in this video because I just bought a 130 gallon one. Email me if you're interested. serenityfarmmd@gmail.com
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. The content is great and relevant to your topic. However, I can't help but constantly be distracted by how cute and charming you are. I feel like if we met in person, we would be great friends. Anyway, keep up the good work. I already see a few more of your videos that are on my "need to watch" list. Happy Mushrooming!
Hey Jewell, I don't know which you check more between here or personal email but I shot you an email recently about this same question. Is Soybean hulls the same as Soybean meal? From what I can see, (under the impression that hulls resemble more of those hard wood pellets) and what you mentioned (@4:32 about the texture/mixture being fine), i wonder if it's something I can get away with using. Awesome personality and information! Thanks again for your time and insight. Much love!
Did you say soybean hulls, are these whole soybeans? Please send a quick description so I can order it correctly. Thank you, keep up the good work! I'm hoping to dive in this spring.
I made sawdust blocks and they are ready to sterilize in my 41 Qt. American Canner.. Looks like it will hold 5 bags and 1 jar. How deep should the water be? And how long and what temp/pressure ?
Suggestion; to make things more comfortable for your knees, get a bunch of cinder blocks and stack 2-3 layers high and cut 1/2" plywood to fit and lay on top. My knees would be killing me if did that. Good channel and thank you!
Mrs. Jewell, in your never video with the industrial mixer how much was that setup? I can’t find prices online for the PACK manufacturing system you have. Thanks
There's a video somewhere on TH-cam of a guy that uses just cold water hydration without the lime with hardwood pellets and inoculates heavily, but he has a 55 gallon barrel setup as vertical compost mixer that mixes it up easily just by rotation. I just don't have the space for a big barrel composter in my garage.
Thanks for sharing, hadn't seen that video yet. I wish he would have did a follow up video on exactly how his batch did but he's only posted foraging videos in the last 4 years since. My thoughts on that- I've tried lime tek with very limited success, the shrooms were off colored and sickly looking vs my normal batch & it was like half the weight I would normally get. His batch uses 3 bags of spawn which is really expensive (call it about $50 with shipping). If you're doing this as a business that tek is definitely NOT the way to go. There's a reason small (and large) commercial growers sterilize their batches! If you're just growing for fun as a hobby to see what happens then the $50 of spawn & cost of pellets isn't that big of an issue I suppose. On the upside I do like his barrel idea for mixing but I think it would need an agitator of some kind to mix up 2 different subtrates (ie pellets & soy hulls) evenly
+Jewell's Funky Fungi I think it would mix fairly well because it tumbles like a concrete mixer. Could also use a cheap concrete mixer or a small mortar mixer that's more like Myers mixer. Yeah, that is a lot of grain bags for one small run. He says he doesn't use lime though, but like you said, results would be great to see.
Solid video introduction. One thing to remember is that with many pellet manufactures they use oils and other ingredients when they make the pellets. Some of that you may not want in your substrate for the mushrooms. I use mushroommediaonline.com for bulk orders of the oak pellets. They are even going to offer the soybean hulls starting this month.
Jewell how much would you say one block is costing you? IM growing some oyesters and I'm putting together a business plan. CAn you tell me where your numbers are coming from. SO like hwat your paying for the different parts of your substrate.
New to the whole mushroom growing. ? My question is why not go to a saw mill and get hardwood saw dust instead of using hardwood pellets. The saw dust is already moist/wet can be bought in bulk. Tim
Thanks for the good info, but isnt it better to fold the filter patch inside so it wont get wet when sterlizing? I put them wrapped in so they are water proof from the bag, u seem to do it otherway around 😏
Just wondering: For the initial hydration of the wood pellets couldn't you just put a tap in the large basin, fill it with water to above the top of the pellets, open the tap and let it drain out naturally? Obviously this should be done outside, but I'd think you'd be left with wood mush at 'field consistency'. Is this too wet for your grow? If this is OK, you could fill the basin fast and save some time.
Awesome vids! Thanks for sharing. Just getting started growing. Hope to do some oysters to start. I can get hardwood pellets easily but soybean not so much. Can I use only pellets for a substrate? They are easy for me to get, very cheap and I dont think they need to be pasteurized/sterilized because they should be pretty clean from processing. I think they are probably dried in an oven after they are extruded... I could use a bit more spawn to make sure. Thanks for any advice...
Tom Bailey My pleasure! Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing just compressed in pelleted form. I’ve never found those but they would be much easier than what I have because I get a lot of dust everywhere vs just hydrating the pellets like the fuel pellets. If anyone knows otherwise chime in!
Proportional-Integral-Derivative is the full term = PID. It is a control loop feedback algorithm. Good stuff, but I'm kinda biased since industrial controls are what I do for my daytime work! But mushrooms are my passion. Cool channel and good info.
I only have access to sawdust directly from the sawmill. My Question is do I need to compost the sawdust for some days or I can just go ahead and pausterize.
.02 micron filter patch that to allow some oxygen in the bag. I just started researching. Watch some of the myermushroom videos. His product knowledge is great.
where are you? do you have a farm?! i subscribed i need spawn bags to make co2 for plants but want to figure this out and grow reishi i think your used bags make co2 let me know what you do w them great video
Jewell's Funky Fungi well much respect to you and your passion. do you have spores for sale?! a website?! I’m just learning about this lol for now i need co2 production i guess I’m going to have to learn how to grow mushrooms and prepare them is there a great all in one book you reccommend?!
so basically you prepare all of the substrate material clean it, rinse it etc. fill bags, than bags can go right into the pressure cooker?! i ordered about 30 empty bags small to large after their pressure cooked they will be ready to inoculate?! i appreciate you, set up venmo and ways for your followers to send you money just because youre taking time to make vids and educate folks some may want to bless you financially. youre a good girl! wish more women were as fearless. thanks again nikkolas
Nikkolas M. Thank you very much I can tell you’re excited:) So, I’d recommend a few books and they’re in my kit page (the link is at the top of the comments section). If you use the link to finally purchase the book I get a little compensation on that (at no additional charge to you). So yes, substrate is mixed, bagged, sterilized (I use a drum steam sterilizer because you can only fit a few bags in a pressure cooker. Spawn it when cool. Let colonize then fruit it 😄

Take it from an old construction worker the best way to mix in those two ingredients or any two ingredients if you wet the the pallets make a great big hole in the middle in drag the sawdust up on the sides or on the ends put dumping a bucket of the soy stuff and then mix it in one side at a time dragging folding over the sawdust into the soy it'll make so much easier and you should get a big hole with two holes in it you'll have that mixed in a couple of minutes. Also I would have to different tubs when you got it mixed to a certain amount shovel it into the other tub which will mix it even better and then shove it back into the first time again it'll be thoroughly mixed that way. Of course a small electric cement mixer would probably be the best idea
6:05 those words: "how you program it" just make me sad. Earth has had fungus much longer than upright walking mammals, but to grow mushrooms now we need a computer? I'm retired. Had 30 years of computers, the closest I'll come to anything with a chip is this phone in my hand. (And often I consider throwing it off a bridge into a river as I ride by on my carburetted motorcycle with magneto ignition) OTHER THAN THAT - you've got a very interesting & informative channel going. I believe you started it for the best reason, to help our fellow humans. If you decide to take it big, I def wish you the best. Now, even though I'll probably never start growing mushrooms, I'm going back to finish this video ❤ Edit: I see this vid is 3 years old, so I'll leave the past an visit your channel on a more recent vid to see what you're up to. Edit #2: 14:16, now you're talking my tech.
someone told me to compost the substrate for 21 days before bagging and sterilising is that necessary? or I can just mix 50/50 of sawdust and rice bran? then sterilise and inoculate?
JaxFungiFarm I don’t have any experience using straw and certainly not grain but I do know that as of now, on a commercial basis, masters mix (50/50 sawdust or hardwood fuel pellets and soybean hulls) is hands down the best recipe in terms of overall yield and appearance/health of the mushrooms. If you’re growing as a hobby, go for it and try!
@@JewellsGardens yeah I'm definitely growing on a commercial scale, I see that Brad kuhns runs a commercial farm and uses a lot of straw logs, i see he runs masters mix too tho,anyways I guess I'ma have to pay 900 a ton for soy bean Hull from branchway feeds (sad face) thanks for the reply jewell
i noticed that the soy bean hulls have 40%fiber (85% of which is digestible) while coco coir has 85% fiber (60% digestible) everything else is the same within a few percentages. I am going to try supplementing some in my straw. going to use 50% wheat straw, 30% coco coir, and 20% spent brewers. I believe this will be a superior (to only straw) substrate. Wat do u think?
Hey how do these bags not melt? Some people say they have to separate it from the sides, but you seem to just rest them against the metal sides. No melting occurs?
Youve become one of my favorite mushroom tubers! Love your sense of humor and its great to watch your process! Appreciate you girl! ✌🍄
Mycelionaut Lol, thanks so much for continuing to watch!
👋🙄Thank you for the great video information.. where to get the mushroom media, I interested to purchase it. I'm a mushroom farmers.. from Brunei 🇧🇳😁🤗

Really smart and articulate. Really nice vid.
for mixing : Harbor Freight has a 3 1/2 cf cement mixer for $219. plus their 20% off coupon knocks off $45. Great vid, sub'ed.
R Lee Sweet, thanks for the sub! Good info to pass on I have peeps asking all the time what they can do for mixing!
I wouldn't buy anything from Harbor Freight if someone held a gun to my head and gave me the choice of a bullet or a million dollars
how long do i put 5 pound bags in the pressure cooker for? Cant afford a drum now. And how much water in there? Im going to start with the presto. Do you have a video for that? Thank you.
I have the presto. You can fit 4 bags in it. 2.5 hours @15 psi. Look up videos so you learn the right way.
@@pollopollo3531 it depends on what size of presto pressure cooker you have for bags is a lot for a presto it won't fit in a 23 quart put it all the way to the bottom of the damn thing and put water halfway up the bags
You said "I do have some nice equipment". 😁 You're pretty cool.
Omg ty jewell you are amazing !!!!! Ty for your time and effort. Shroom power!!!
Thank you for this easy to follow video guide on how to create sawdust substrate :-) You rock!
You are awesome! I love your work ethic.
Hey Jewl I love what your doing great work! Keep making Videos I'm looking forward to spawning a shop of my own.
I totally forgot this channel, it's so awesome to find you're again
Thank You Jewell .I learn a lot !
I really love your teknics and for shure that they will make me go up with a lot of things...
Greetings from Finland. I am going to try grow mushrooms the same way as you do. I have a vacuum sealer, I am going to use it to suck all the air out from the bags.

hello ☺. I am writing from Turkey.. 1- Is the compost you use used for morel mushrooms? 2-What are the compost materials in the video?
No I was growing oysters and the substrate is shredded hardwood
I only have access to sawdust directly from the sawmill.
My Question is do I need to compost the sawdust for some days or I can just go ahead and pausterize.
With sawdust you would sterilize, not pasteurize but no you don’t need to compost
awesome sauce
What's the white filter patch for and why don't you seal the bags please.
.02 micron filter patch that to allow some oxygen in the bag. I just started researching. Watch some of the myermushroom videos. His product knowledge is great.

Take it from an old construction worker the best way to mix in those two ingredients or any two ingredients if you wet the the pallets make a great big hole in the middle in drag the sawdust up on the sides or on the ends put dumping a bucket of the soy stuff and then mix it in one side at a time dragging folding over the sawdust into the soy it'll make so much easier and you should get a big hole with two holes in it you'll have that mixed in a couple of minutes. Also I would have to different tubs when you got it mixed to a certain amount shovel it into the other tub which will mix it even better and then shove it back into the first time again it'll be thoroughly mixed that way. Of course a small electric cement mixer would probably be the best idea
6:05 those words: "how you program it" just make me sad.
Earth has had fungus much longer than upright walking mammals, but to grow mushrooms now we need a computer?
I'm retired. Had 30 years of computers, the closest I'll come to anything with a chip is this phone in my hand. (And often I consider throwing it off a bridge into a river as I ride by on my carburetted motorcycle with magneto ignition)
OTHER THAN THAT - you've got a very interesting & informative channel going. I believe you started it for the best reason, to help our fellow humans. If you decide to take it big, I def wish you the best.
Now, even though I'll probably never start growing mushrooms, I'm going back to finish this video ❤
Edit: I see this vid is 3 years old, so I'll leave the past an visit your channel on a more recent vid to see what you're up to.
Edit #2: 14:16, now you're talking my tech.
Guess if you could find an even bigger can, you could use it for measuring, and then put the bag over it before flipping it over.
someone told me to compost the substrate for 21 days before bagging and sterilising is that necessary? or I can just mix 50/50 of sawdust and rice bran? then sterilise and inoculate?
I wish I can get a reply to this comment
I was also told the same thing
Is it necessary

Hi. I see they sell soy hulls loose and soy hulls in pellet form. Any preference on which is better? Same price for both. Thanks
im gonna be starting with wheat straw, red millet as spawn, and spent brewers grain as a supplement to replace bran . id love any input, thanks
JaxFungiFarm I don’t have any experience using straw and certainly not grain but I do know that as of now, on a commercial basis, masters mix (50/50 sawdust or hardwood fuel pellets and soybean hulls) is hands down the best recipe in terms of overall yield and appearance/health of the mushrooms. If you’re growing as a hobby, go for it and try!
@@JewellsGardens yeah I'm definitely growing on a commercial scale, I see that Brad kuhns runs a commercial farm and uses a lot of straw logs, i see he runs masters mix too tho,anyways I guess I'ma have to pay 900 a ton for soy bean Hull from branchway feeds (sad face) thanks for the reply jewell
i noticed that the soy bean hulls have 40%fiber (85% of which is digestible) while coco coir has 85% fiber (60% digestible) everything else is the same within a few percentages. I am going to try supplementing some in my straw. going to use 50% wheat straw, 30% coco coir, and 20% spent brewers. I believe this will be a superior (to only straw) substrate. Wat do u think?
in the description above it says former mushroom grower, why did you stop?
Hey how do these bags not melt? Some people say they have to separate it from the sides, but you seem to just rest them against the metal sides. No melting occurs?
...i like the scoopin' part.
How many times per year do you make an 80lb batch of substrate?
