Just found your mushroom growing series. Very well done and glad you included the green mold failure, it shows us what to look out for. I've been saving up my coffee grounds and your vids have inspired me to get on with it. Thanks for sharing.
Sleestak Rules? .....YES he does! Thank you. I hasn't watched any of your other videos (yet), but I am impressed. The yeild you got from the bag was awesome..... Hell you got some shrooms! I admire your willingness to deal with and share the learning curve. Your videos were clear and complete. One request I would you please fast in six months or so, do another video in This series to illustrate what you have learned and how you do things differently? You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks again!
Perhaps of you add a pinch of gypsum to the coffee grounds you may have larger flushes. The reason they started coing out the bottom is because the small space creates a microclimate of high humidity which favors pinning.
How fun! And I love the background music, but it could be a little softer, just a suggestion. :-) These mushroom growing vids are awesome, will be trying this soon! Thanks so much for sharing!
Great Video... Loved it. NOTE: the background (noise) music made it hard to hear and understand you at times. No need for background music, we just want hear YOU Talk.
Thank for sharing , well if you using the foods storage bucket ( you can get it from most bakery or local restaurant for free just ask them) it easy to clean and reuse .
Very very cool! You're turning into the Tim The Tool Man Taylor of mushroom growing! Oh and congrats on 3 million views! I give this video a green thumbs up!
***** Oh I see. What do you do to the coffee grounds and the straw after they no longer grow? Do you throw them away or reuse it to start growing new mushrooms? Thanks for all the information. Oh and one more question. How do you know when they won't grow any more mushrooms?
FelixMerivel I got 2 out of the cans with about 10 days between each. After that I mixed it with some wet straw outside and got a whole new set of flushes. You can see photos of it here: www.tomorrowsgarden.net/content/little-oyster-mushroom-harvest#comment-384
Haha cool i bought a growkit online which is a plastic container with air holes drilled in with micropore tape over it. Inside the bag is a bag of grainspawn that you mix with ur own coffeegrounds proggresively you add aprox. 100grs of used coffeegrounds each week and let the mycelium eat it :p so far its half full and colonizing fast (the quality of the strain and spawn are very good) Btw how fast does cardboard colonize? And does it give good yields? Or is it only good for adding more air in the substrate?
awesome , I've been saving used coffee grounds for a week now to try this. Where do you keep them while growing. What kind(s) are you trying. thanks again, I feel confident enough now to try this.
+Robin Conkel-hAnnan Put them on a paper and a glass over to make "spore prints". Google the rest. Or cut the whole funghi and mix with a soil/compost mix. I havent tried, just read this...
My cousin had his water heater crack n didn't know so for like a week water was all over his carpet in his basement n these whiteish yellowish things grew out of the carpet this reminds me of it cause the shape was the same.
Great Videos. Very informative.. While I was watch them I was thinking that you are not using as much area as you could be. You should try using a seed starter flat with the 72 cells in it but leave out the cells and just fill it up about an inch with your finished cultures, moisten it down and put the greenhouse lid on it. I believe that you will keep up the humidity and give you a much higher yield.
I will be trying grains in the future to start the mycelium going. I also want to try cotton seed hulls mixed with straw as the growing medium. I'd like to do some really big batches.
***** It occurs to me that there could be more nutrition in grain than coffee grounds but it's a cool thing to use coffee grounds for, regardless. Thanks for the great videos.
My jar has some kind of...white speck stuff looks like if something was sprinkled on the coffee grounds, but im unsure if it's just mycelium or not. Any help?
Great Video as always. Mine are starting to pin again. Time to keep it going once we harvest it. Now i wonder how many times you can clone the strains. Like in a Star Trek episode can't remember which but after several generations of clones you start to lose something in the mix.. What's your thoughts! :)?
Haha, I think I remember that in Star Trek. That might be true in cloning and might be why the pros start from spores. I watched a Paul Staments video a few months ago and he was saying the mycelium has a memory. So maybe it remembers how many times it fruited?? I'll need to go back and watch it.
Slee can you grow any mushroom that same way? I had a friend of mine who did some Tasmanian mushrooms in these big tubs 4ft long and 2ft wide and 2ft deep. And I've also seen the big blocks that you mist...
Robin Munkelwitz All I've ever grown are oysters. Somebody gave me shiitake and maitake to try out but I think I'll just do them in a bag with the top open.
I wish I liked mushrooms enough to try this but I'm afraid the only one I like is the boring old 'Irish' mushroom, as Chinese restaurants call them here. I think growing out the top is going to be the way to go. Good work.
***** It's just the ubiquitous, bland, white, mushroom you'd see in stores, I think, but our Chinese friends differentiate it from others in case we order a mushroom we don't recognise and die of shock.
Is anybody worried about the cheap Metals in the coffee can getting into the mushrooms not trying to beg on anybody but water and metal growing mycology in a can I'm sure I can do it but I really don't want to eat the can
What the hell is "mythelium"or whatever you are saying. How about spelling it or writing it down and showing us idiots what you are saying so we can get to growing our own mushrooms! If you are going to do a segment with the spelling note it in the video description.
+john barea its mycelium a root like system of all mold and fungi, all basic mushroom growers should know this and or by the time they get into life science in the 7th grade
Just found your mushroom growing series. Very well done and glad you included the green mold failure, it shows us what to look out for. I've been saving up my coffee grounds and your vids have inspired me to get on with it. Thanks for sharing.
I am inspired to try some different containers and then I could give them as gifts.
Those are wild! You are the mushroom king!
Haha! At least at my end of the Sleestak caves
Mushrooms are so cool man. Love the different varieties and looks. I see you went with the rich and aromatic variety. Nice choice. 👍🏼
Sleestak Rules? .....YES he does!
Thank you. I hasn't watched any of your other videos (yet), but I am impressed. The yeild you got from the bag was awesome..... Hell you got some shrooms!

Looking forward to more videos on mushrooms. Great work!
More in about 30 days. Waiting on the new ones to get enough mycelium.
Perhaps of you add a pinch of gypsum to the coffee grounds you may have larger flushes. The reason they started coing out the bottom is because the small space creates a microclimate of high humidity which favors pinning.
You should try homebrewing! You would love it!!
Incredible! You are so inventive, I love it! Thank you for sharing your genius with us.
How long would one coffee can continue to produce mushrooms?
How fun! And I love the background music, but it could be a little softer, just a suggestion. :-) These mushroom growing vids are awesome, will be trying this soon! Thanks so much for sharing!
Can you give uns a step by step instructions on how to do this?
Is there a limit to the number of holes that you can put in the side of the coffee can?
Excellent experimentation!
This will be my next conquest!
They are awesome we are starting a mushroom room I need to learn from you Great help thanks!
really cool, i grew some on paper towels
That's very interesting. Congrats on a really good idea.
Great Video... Loved it.
NOTE: the background (noise) music made it hard to hear and understand you at times.
No need for background music, we just want hear YOU Talk.
do they need a special space thats high in humidity? or would any light temperature appropriate place work?
Thank for sharing , well if you using the foods storage bucket ( you can get it from most bakery or local restaurant for free just ask them) it easy to clean and reuse .
I have a place that saving them for me currently. Can never have enough buckets. I think.
Very very cool! You're turning into the Tim The Tool Man Taylor of mushroom growing! Oh and congrats on 3 million views!
I give this video a green thumbs up!
I just saw that. 3 million served, lol.
so fun! thank you for sharing.
Always enjoy your videos. I'm looking forward to when I'll have time and space to experiment more with growing mushrooms.
Thanks Mamma D!
If you cut more holes will that grow more? Or would that mess with the humidity?
awesome job. enjoyed
I should have started with grey or pearl oysters, but i went the king oyster route and it's a bit harder to learn.
How many times can you harvest these mushrooms until they no longer grow or do they keep growing after every harvest?
We did 3 times out of the cans. It took about 1 week before they started up again.
*****
Oh I see. What do you do to the coffee grounds and the straw after they no longer grow? Do you throw them away or reuse it to start growing new mushrooms? Thanks for all the information. Oh and one more question. How do you know when they won't grow any more mushrooms?
How many harvests do you get before the jar/bag/can becomes useless and you need to start over?
FelixMerivel I got 2 out of the cans with about 10 days between each. After that I mixed it with some wet straw outside and got a whole new set of flushes. You can see photos of it here: www.tomorrowsgarden.net/content/little-oyster-mushroom-harvest#comment-384
what is covering the jar lids? the white stuff? and do you get the coffee grounds wet?
Do I need to keep in the dark room, before growing?
Fantastic results. Dave
add brown rice flour and vermerculite and those suckers will bbbllloooommm bigger....make sure its moist
Yes sir! Got the king oysters in that brew now. Let's see what happens!
do you mist the ones on the cans and INSIDE the cans?
Where can I buy spore of mushroom
Can this be done outdoor?
Haha cool i bought a growkit online which is a plastic container with air holes drilled in with micropore tape over it.
Inside the bag is a bag of grainspawn that you mix with ur own coffeegrounds proggresively you add aprox. 100grs of used coffeegrounds each week and let the mycelium eat it :p so far its half full and colonizing fast (the quality of the strain and spawn are very good)
Btw how fast does cardboard colonize? And does it give good yields? Or is it only good for adding more air in the substrate?
Wow, thumbs up for your great work and successfull results! Impressed. :)
Best wishes,
Halvor.
maybe punch way more smaller holes, then turn over, day two or later? seemed like tonnes of pins. :)
If you hang the can,must get on the bottom too.
awesome , I've been saving used coffee grounds for a week now to try this. Where do you keep them while growing. What kind(s) are you trying. thanks again, I feel confident enough now to try this.
I'm doing the King oysters now. The stems are thick and can be eaten. Probably 30 days before I show them in a video.
I don't know where you buy your mushrooms.. Th stores I shop carry mushrooms that are cut and have no mycelium on them..
+Robin Conkel-hAnnan Put them on a paper and a glass over to make "spore prints". Google the rest. Or cut the whole funghi and mix with a soil/compost mix. I havent tried, just read this...
Ohhh ! I love it., it’s beautiful 🍄and,delicious.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My cousin had his water heater crack n didn't know so for like a week water was all over his carpet in his basement n these whiteish yellowish things grew out of the carpet this reminds me of it cause the shape was the same.
Did you puke the cover of the can ?
are the mushrooms edible?
Yes, they are oyster mushrooms as you would find for sale at the market.

Great pacing and stuff video lovely
how much water do you give them?
Why are the holes so small???????????????????
Again, informative and so interesting. Question: Have you tried or considered using a different medium like grains? Composts? Results... if any?
I will be trying grains in the future to start the mycelium going. I also want to try cotton seed hulls mixed with straw as the growing medium. I'd like to do some really big batches.

Could be. How long ago did you start it?
1 or 2 weeks now, but it hasnt been in sunligh so its growing slowly
Great job. Are you growing from spore, or just dividing mycelium?
What is the medium you are using?
Great Video as always. Mine are starting to pin again. Time to keep it going once we harvest it. Now i wonder how many times you can clone the strains.

@@SleestaksRule
It has been 4 years... how did the other mushrooms turn out??
Hello! Want to know what kind of stuff they grow rice strawa & coffee grounds? Please let me know i am interested to start at home thank you so much
I don't know what rice straw is. sorry.
Neat stuff! I have to go back and watch the previous vids. Where/how do you get your mycellium?
Can these be eaten? my dad i guess might be about to grow them i guess.
yes!
ok!
Wow they say there's no such thing as a stupid question....lol
I am really captivated by this... Thinking this looks Awesome :)
$10/lb at the farmers market. (hint, hint)
What did you add besides straw? And did you boil the straw?
That one I used coffee and straw. I just heated water and put it in a 5 gallon bucket with the straw.
This is just so cool. Well done.
Thanks and thank you for all you do for all of us.
where do you get your mycelium from for the starter culture?
I bought some mushrooms from the grocery store. All you need is about $1 worth to get the mycelium going.
Thanks brilliang I have tried it it works
WOW, They look great Mr Sleestaks :)
Am catching up in reverse so gave myself a spoiler :/
where do you get or make micillieum?
I made it from mushrooms I bought at the store. See my other videos to learn how.
very nice,ty for your time,i have to try that
What do you use the mushrooms for
Dillon Geditz
..... To eat..
@@robinconkel-hannan6629 and they say there's no such thing as a stupid question......lol
I am giving it a go.
Huh. I thought they were paint cans in the older video.
That's so cool!!
does this work with psychedelic mushrooms?
Different mushrooms like to grow on different things. Some like wood, some manure, straw ect.
excellent mushroom king
That's a genius idea!
What a beautiful success : )
I wish I liked mushrooms enough to try this but I'm afraid the only one I like is the boring old 'Irish' mushroom, as Chinese restaurants call them here. I think growing out the top is going to be the way to go. Good work.
Thanks Mr. Soda. I wonder what the old Irish mushroom is?
***** It's just the ubiquitous, bland, white, mushroom you'd see in stores, I think, but our Chinese friends differentiate it from others in case we order a mushroom we don't recognise and die of shock.
Super cute 🥰
try making some mead!!
thanks ...for the video i will try this at home...
Well done thats awesome.
awesome video thank you!
im a new subbie, loved ur videos
Great Thank you so much!
Nice video.
good idea
that is so awesome!!!
they are cute! im wierd i know....
I totally think their "Cute" too...
Brilliant
U r solo cool!!!!!
Is anybody worried about the cheap Metals in the coffee can getting into the mushrooms not trying to beg on anybody but water and metal growing mycology in a can I'm sure I can do it but I really don't want to eat the can
I would stay in the glass jars if it was me they look way better I'm prettier
Yes the contaminants of the can grow really fast that's why they put coffee in the cans to sell us.
Mycelium is real? I though minecraft made it up
HoodedFox ikr
It was invented before Minecraft. And humans
What the hell is "mythelium"or whatever you are saying. How about spelling it or writing it down and showing us idiots what you are saying so we can get to growing our own mushrooms! If you are going to do a segment with the spelling note it in the video description.
+john barea its mycelium a root like system of all mold and fungi,
all basic mushroom growers should know this and or by the time they get into life science in the 7th grade
If you watched any other of his videos without figuring out what he's talking about writing it down isn't going to help you anyway.....lol
