Shiitake: Ready to Fruit Blocks and Wheat Bran Pellets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Shiitake mushrooms are my (Andrew's) absolute favorite mushroom to eat and now, with the help of Maine Cap'N Stem and Mushroom Media Online we are now able to produce more than I can eat! Most beginning mushroom farmers don't have enough incubation space to grow shiitake commercially but with the help of ready to fruit blocks from a supplier like Maine Cap'N Stem or Earth Angel Mushrooms, you can grow all you want without the incubation!
Not too mention that for those of us that prefer to work with pellets instead of bulk loose substrates, we now have wheat bran in pellet form thanks to Seth Fisher of Mushroom Media Online! We can grow any strain of shiitake we want, including trialing out the Straw Shiitake, oh yeh it's going to go into a shiitake Goat Mix for sure!

Rather late comment but I'll post it while we wait for the new vid: can you cover why you use smaller bags and a shelf system instead of hanging columnar bags? I do remember you talking about it once but I can't find where.
Hanging bags intuitively sound better because:
1. Don't require shelves which cuts costs and reduces cleaning man-hours (bags could simply hang from a reinforced pipe going lengthwise across the room)
2. More exposed surface area per bag which should mean more production per flush (this is pure speculation since i haven't compared the two in practice)
3. Reduces the hassle of working with a lot of smaller blocks. I do get they're heavier but using a trolley makes this irrelevant
Would love to work at a mushroom farm but there are none close to me in Michigan and really none that i can even find in Michigan when i google mushroom farms. I love the process of growing mushrooms and everything about mushrooms.
I love your LC's. I've been getting huge flushes with king blues on pasteurize wheat straw. Keep making vids. Y'all are awesome!
Thank you, I plan on it for sure!
I'm looking for a good strain to run on wheat straw logs. What kind of yields have you been getting/are you doing long tubes or smaller bags?
Dang the hair threw me off. You made a big change over time
@@SissyPace I've changed even more since this video.
My experiences with North Spore up in Maine have been wonderful also.
Is there any shocking process for the ready to fruit shiitake blocks, like chilling them in a cooler for a few days or slapping them around? Or is that done before they're sent to you?
Why do you need spores for shiitake when there are cultures available ????@9:35
Breeding. Andrew currently has a fairly massive oyster mushroom breeding program that he's been running for the last couple years, and now he's starting to breed shiitake. Playing with what kind of new properties he can develop or improve on.
@@benjaminerickson645 Do you have shiitake culture available presently? Love the music at the end. Who is the musician and title?
@@karenwillison3987 I don't know any of this information, Andrew does all of that.
@@karenwillison3987 I don't have shiitake available for purchase just yet. The music is "Gelatine Nature" by Ooyy
@@karenwillison3987 check
Can you use fresh cutted shiitake pieces to mix them with pellet oak substrate directly, skiping the spawn bags?
now how to find buyers...especially before you have anything ready
Wheat bran pellets? Sweet.
Hi sir, how many flushes per block do you get?
How you work with this huge spores in the room cultivation...i cant enter cultivation room more 5 muintes even when i have mask!!!????
Thanks for sharing Andrew. What earbuds are you wearing and do you recommend them, and why? Keep spawning culture!
They are Raycon's and I like them, but I haven't tried others before so I'm not sure if I would recommend them against others. Ben is really happy with his Samsung ones.
Your hard work is paying off
A question brother do i need to wear a mask when handeling mushroom?
can THOR be adjusted to make 3.5lb bags ?
Not right now. 5lb minimum with the default configuration.
What is the purpose of the respirators?
So you don't inhale spores
@@mikemiozza693so it's been almost a year and nobody explained anything to me and your goofy ass asks me a question in response to my question?
One happy guy right there! Brilliant!
What kind of space are you growing in? And what is it zoned for? I'm planning on making the jump and grabbing a small warehouse space but I want to make sure I get the right kind of space.
Honestly I know nothing about the zoning. It's light industrial if I had to guess. It's the old farmer's coop of my town. Big warehouse with the old railroad tracks up against the building.
@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial Sweet, thanks for the info! Most of the places I've been looking at are Light Industrial.
Great timing. I was just about to move 3 shiitake blocks to my fruiting tent. I have always taken the whole bag off. This time I will slit and leave the bottom on. Better moisture retention!
Also no weird fruits on the bottom!
what %water do you use for your pellets?
60%
Very interesting video thanks. I am setting up a very small gig here in my home. I bought an 8 ft x 4 ft x 7 ft tent. The staging I am installing will allow about 50 blocks of the size you have on the video here. I am a little worried about air quality. The adverts for these grow tents show them being used inside, but usually in the pics there are plants rather than mushies growing. Here I see you using breathing apparatus when working. I have a good filter system flushing out of the window. Do you think it will be enough in your experience?
You don't need filters, but you do need to duct the air from the tent outside of your home.
@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial Thanks for the advice. Have a nice xmas
50/50 mix or 60/40?
60/40
@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial 60%sawdust 40% wheat bran ?
All the way from South Africa here
Struggling to get proper sawdust pellets as our country mostly is more focused on pine production, have sourced straw pellets
@@leevermaak9028 I'm using straw in my shiitake mix. and yes 60%straw/40% wheat bran.
Was going to try some of these blocks from Maine and cap but someone but them all.
Are they running out already!?

I love seeing your journey thru the mushroom forest. Love you guys, wishing you the best!
Thanks Dune! Have you watched the new movie yet?
Thanks for posting this! I plan on running shiitaki soon
You're welcome Jesse! I hope it helps.
Dang man that's what I want to do trying to start in a spare closet now
In Middle Tennessee
@@greggilliam1829 Gotta start somewhere!
FORKLIFT CERTIFIED!!!😎😂
You know it!
Your hair is getting so damn long! Man my hair is getting so damn long!
I got a crazy oyster LC, just found it last week in NC. Cap was 5”!!! if you’re down to trade 😎
my shiitake (S75) never flush like those.
I grow s75 too and I agree 🥺
@@abbycooper5352 guess its time to switch, 3 months to get 5 or 6 mushrooms is a big bummer
@@themyceliumnetwork I only wait about 2 months for mine but regardless I have been keeping an eye out for different varieties ^_^
@@abbycooper5352 i have been isolating my strain & have it down to about 30 days to fruiting but it still wont produce much
3782 and 3790 are far superior to S75 from what I've seen. Though I'm about to trial S75 again.
Did I hear that you’re getting spores from the ready to fruit blocks? I’m just getting started and thought about the same thing, but was told that the ready to fruit blocks are already 3rd generation and shouldn’t be used to create more mushrooms. Do you happen to know what generation the blocks you got were? I’m also wondering if I given the correct info. Thanks for all your videos!
Hey mate we love your videos and always learn a lot. We have a small mushroom farm in Germany and would like to start producing Shiitake this year and have a quick question for you. For your substrate mix do you use 50/50 wheat bran and HFP or a different ratio? Thank you for your help and have a good one!
What year do you think “other mushrooms” 🍄 will be legal to cultivate and market
Are you making a profit out of the shiitakes with all the extra labour?
Is that your first flush or second flush?
Congrats man! 👏
Thank you.
@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial hey, can I reuse old spore syringes?
I really enjoyed the ending montage! The music and the lighting made it very relaxing.
Thank you. I always get mixed results on those so I've started putting them at the end of the videos.
I love your videos. Your videos saved me a bunch of time and money that I would have lost. I realized I just wasn't ready to try and make a mushroom farm.

Great video again!
A wonderful Winter Solstice for you and your people!
Greetings from Hungary!
Happy Solstice to you as well!
Friendly fyi that beard is going to dramatically reduce the effectiveness of your respirator. You need to be clean shaven to create the ideal seal to reduce inhalation of particulates.
Rough cost per block at that volume?
I love the b-roll the best. it gives you an idea of what it's really like to be in the mushroom business. thanks for all your videos I have learned so much! George
get to the point!
It must suck to have such a small attention span. Maybe take a break from TH-cam shorts or tiktok?
