@@johnm5359 Oyster mushrooms grow in nature on trees, just like reishi and lion's mane, not necessarily on decaying wood. And about spores - reishi has even more of them than oysters. But I don't know about lion's mane, I haven't grown it and haven't come across any information about its spores.
Tom Volk would point out specific incidents where oyster mushrooms have grown in the lungs of commercial oyster mushroom growers. This phenomenon mainly occurs in the immunocompromised. I'm not joking here- he used to teach a class in a university on "medical mycology" I believe. I'm honored to have met him briefly and learned a lot from him in the brief conversations I had with him- and the lecture I attended, at the fungus faire in Santa Cruz, California.
As I said in the video, the temperature in the lungs is too high and the oyster mushroom mycelium has nothing to feed on. Therefore, I doubt that this can happen. Rather, a capsule can form in the alveoli that preserves the spores and this can cause abscess processes. But, finding a live oyster mushroom in a person's lungs - I think this is unrealistic. Perhaps you have links to scientific articles describing such cases?
@OysterMushroom_expert-tech it's been years... The image I saw was an X-ray, showing the mycelium growing through their lungs like a loaf of bread. Fascinating, really. I am to a point now, that I won't ever underestimate fungi. The sheer spore-load leads to potential for quick adaptation to new environments. The genetic variation is insane, too.
@@OysterMushroom_expert-tech Strange things are totally possible. Look up the case of Artyom Sidorkin. He had a literal plant growing in his lungs from an inhaled seed. These things are one in a billion of course.. but not impossible.
Air conditioners are used only in incubators. They cannot be used in growing rooms due to spores. Depending on the climate conditions of your region, either chillers or cooling panels are used.
Hi I just purchase two of your books and am looking for to delivery. I just happened to come across your TH-cam channel and can I ask if you recommend using Masters Mix as a substrate in the EU? I’m looking to start a farm near Lisbon in Portugal and was having difficulty in my initial searches for hardwood Oak and Soybean Hulls at least in bulk quantities. Is maters mix more of a USA thing or can you please recommend any good / reliable suppliers that can deliver to a Lisbon suburb? I found a supplier in the midlands in the UK but was hoping for someone closer. Thank you for your help, and I’m looking forward to receiving your books.
Hi! Thank you for your comment and for supporting my work. Regarding Masters Mix and sourcing hardwood oak and soybean hulls near Lisbon-unfortunately, I’m not familiar with reliable suppliers in your area, as I’m based in Ukraine. However, there’s a great Facebook group for mushroom growers where someone might be able to point you toward local suppliers. The group also has a search function, and you can look for earlier posts on this topic. I distinctly remember this being discussed multiple times, including suggestions for Masters Mix alternatives. 😊 facebook.com/groups/289883209317365 I'm a bit curious about the books you mentioned. All my books are currently digital, so it’s possible there’s been a misunderstanding. Could you let me know where you purchased them and which books you ordered?
@ Apologies, I may have mistaken you for another author. There’s a husband-and-wife team from Ukraine, Nadiya Honcharova and Serge Honcharov, and I assumed it was you-so sorry for the mix-up! Ukraine must have an incredible culture for growing specialty mushrooms, given the wealth of expertise from people like yourself. Could you please share links to your online books? I’d love to continue expanding my knowledge. Thank you for your advice and the Facebook link-I look forward to your new videos and wish you the very best of luck!
@@jagmeetsingh287 Oh, I’m so glad you purchased those books! Sergey is a good friend of mine, and I trust his expertise. I’m not personally acquainted with his wife, but I know she’s also an excellent mushroom cultivation specialist. Their books contain everything you need to get started, including a very extensive section on substrate materials. My books are geared more toward larger farms that grow oyster mushrooms in bigger grow rooms. I’ll share a link to an article about my book. However, I believe Sergey and Nadezhda’s books are more helpful at the initial stage. veshenka-expert.info/en/calculation-of-the-ventilation/

Interesting, is this for all wood lovers?
Sorry, I didn't understand your comment. What do you mean by "wood lovers"? The video itself is not about wood.
@ oyster mushrooms are grown on decaying wood, is this the same reishi? Or lions mane? The spore issue atleast people encounter with oysters?

Maybe he was talking about aspergillosis? In people with lung pathologies and immunodeficiency, aspergillus mycelium can grow in affected tissues.

Hi, Need your kind suggestion in setting up a AC room for oyster mushroom. Need a small diagram
