- This super simple tutorial is for the mushroom lover, as well as the
gardener. Organic mushroom compost is an expensive resource, but a very
beneficial one. Fungal innoculated compost is great for the garden
because it brings in benegicial bacteria as well as helps colonize the
roots of plants to help uptake nutrients and fight bad soil born
funguses. Make some today! And as a bonus, you can even get mushrooms
to eat!

Can you guys show a part two of this video of how to grow and harvest them?
This is a good video, but there's one tip I'd like to add that you didn't mention. If you transfer the slurry into a much larger container and dilute it with as much as 20x extra water, you can actually spread out the spores, with there still being plenty enough per volume of water to get a good base, and thus inoculate a much larger area. Or, at the least, you could have gotten your mix spread more evenly across that mound you did inoculate. :P
Portobello mushroom spawn + oyster mushroom spawn = competition.
Probably won't get much fruiting, if any, and composting won't be as good as could be - myceliums will be busy competing each other more then fruiting or decomposing. Other than that - great idea and good details. It should work fine with one variety
This is what I thought.I think he's is just talking rubbish
That's only if you are using grow bags which have very limited space for the myclium to grow & feed.
Saprophytic mushrooms ( decomposers ) actually do really well in polycultures, the myclium will co-operate with each other. I grow Oysters & Honey Mushrooms together on tree stumps. Nature is co-operative just as much as it is competitive. I get higher yields with polycultures than monocultures.
Akariel --Thank you
Akariel Wow! You need your own youtube channel. Please share! Gratitude!
@@justinlangley9529 Thabks bro for the explanatio
I have tried and have inoculated some of my giant garden planters with mushrooms. I think the heat down here in Florida might limit the spread of the positive biome it might create in a cooler climate. So now along with occasional fresh mushrooms I add shredded paper into my compost and then my soil. My soil here is dominated by sand unless I constantly add organic material.
lovely update thank you for sharing
Thank you very much, really enjoyed that video. Will be trying this on my compost heap soon..
Hey Luke, how did this mushroom experiment turn out...? I looked but did not see an update video to see how well they grew?
Great video ! I'm going to dig those 'shrooms out of my fridge and put them to work in my compost pile...
you never let me down. Thank you friend
Hii MIgardener,
how's your mushroom slurry result ? any mushroom yet ?
it is always good to show result. L-)
tq
I love garlic mushrooms so much it's unreal bonus points if you throw in some bacon or some other tasty meats.... My mouth is watering so much right now
Great idea!
Thanks.
This is so ingenious! I created an 80 square foot pallet and sliding glass door encased bed - added wood chips, straw and compost, bought a carton of specialty mix mushrooms from whole foods, augmented with other mushroom and inoculated a few months ago. I am looking forward to the results and thank this site for the ingenious idea!
how did it turn out after six years
Nice video! I grow my own mushrooms, and it's fantastic! Did you get any results from this project? Subscribed!
very good video. very practical.
A lot of good information, great video :-)
Great Video for a great idea... TYSM.
There are several suggestions you can try
choose the best variety - there are lots available.
grow them in the right conditions - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and can be placed outdoors
(I discovered these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower website )
thanks for sharing!
The trick with the blender is GREAT!
+Björn Mundt Glad you liked it!
***** Yes, sometimes is the simplest solution the best solution.
Omg I want to see them grow
Thanks for the tuto !
At what temperaturee is it better do it?
Isn't it more interesting to let sit a bit for the mushroom to grow..?
I wish you would show the mushrooms growing :{
Interesting idea....but will it work in my patch for me? is the burning question👍☺🍚🍚
I'm glad he didn't ! ..
this could easily have been a 4 to 5 minute video max and we would still have had all the key info ..
and then some
lol, I'm with you

Add Gypsum, and Epsom salt. Gypsum is a PH balancer and mineral source, and Epsom Salt is really just magnesium Sulfate which is a mineral source and inhibits the growth of some moulds, and detrimental fungi.
Great info

Hi. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. I'm growing some mushrooms at home in a container. I can't tell the difference between mycellium and mold. For me, they look like molds, but I'm not sure. if there a way to differentiate molds and mycellious?
Mold is liquid, slimy usually green yellow, grey blue etc. mycelium is fluffy white stuff and the pinning is different than the fluffy grey mold hairs. Pinning looks like little fingers reaching out which makes sense since pinning is the fruiting stages. Otherwise growing not fruiting mycelium is like hairs going through the substrate. Go look up more videos of professional mushroom growers and they give great close ups showing the difference between molds bacteria and mycelium.
Subscribed. You are a very good gardener.
+marcjtdc thank you!
hey ,if anyone else trying to find out grow mushrooms at home try Vaxicorn Mushroom Maker Guide (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
marcjtdc.
theres white mould like fuzz growing on top of the soil after doing this... is this normal??
I wished u spend more time on some videos like this and show like how it looks after a while in the compost etc...
Fantastic porcino
Luke, How much Molasses do you add and when? you didn't point that out in the video.
if its anything like yeast you don't need very much!
ok. watched it again and apparentli its a good sign 😀 will the fungal fuzz harm my salad leaves growing in the bed
This is a great video, I had one idea this was even a thing, thank you. I doing more reading on this. Can I put coffee grounds in the garden? I'm in Az. just to let you know, I'm just a patio gardener but I love it.
silvertopaz72 you absolutely can use coffee grounds!
Very good
I was wondering why some people get spores with the paper method when I thought they could just dig the spores out of the shroom and use all the gills I think I'm going to try that since you actually used the whole mushroom here and see what happens.
Six years in the future 🔮
Brilliant 👍🏻 🇬🇧
Thanks 🙏 🌹
Thank you so much all of you
Uncle Ben's vacuum rice bags make great compost.
How did those mushrooms come out?🌱
This is great. I have tried to propagate oyster mushrooms using more complex methods and all I got was mould, yellow mould that was not the Mycellium. I`m going to give this a try. Can I just use brown sugar as the sugar source rather than the molasses?
Vegan Minimalist Mark you indeed can!
I noticed in all training videos, you are sterilizing the wood chips or whichever media and mixing it with compost later. But the compost is not sterilized why? Is it not contaminated with other parasites, spores of other mushrooms, etc.
oyster mushrooms grow on wood substrates, i doubt you will see much of them in soil alone. Usually one needs cut oak for these types to grow.
oyster mushrooms grow on all sorta substrates they're floozies
Holy Michigan accent! Thanks for the lesson I can't wait to try this. Luckily my compost pile is pretty shady.
Hahaha I didn't know we had an accent.
did you try this
great ideaa
organic mashroooms
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out how do you grow mushrooms at home try Nevolly Mushrooms Maker Nerd (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got great results with it.
Can I use a different sweetener like agave nectar?
any plans to do an update on this project did it work?
This will not work but I can point you to a bunch of us mushroom growers on Facebook to show you the right way. Portabella and oysters grow on completely different substrates.
***** after doing some research you are correct about Portabella, however the oysters should take off though, I have had several compost piles successfully grow oysters. 1 pile was pure horse poo, 1 pile was all leaf and grass compost (basically what this one was), and the other was a pile of rotting straw. The rotting straw had the best blooms if I must be honest, but this is ideally for the fungally dominated compost.
how did it work after this video? come out good?
did it work? i never see any results on these mushroom growing videos despite the rapid growth rate of mushrooms.
Can you do this in a worm bin or will it kill the worms? Would it be better to have vermicomposted and fungal inocculated compost or is that too much?
Regards from malaysia love it its ao east
Is there a part 2? To see your mushroom growing and harvest them?
That would be nice.
My guess is they never grew. So many chances of contamination. I think I have portobello growing on some wheat grain jars. I can’t tell for sure, but it’s taken several weeks in a sertilzed environment with no mold competition. Or maybe what I see is mold, but I think it’s Portobello spawn.
Do you have a followup video with them growing in?
I would like to know if the mushrooms growing good or~~~~

How much molasses did you add to the blender? Thanks
Awesome video! I actually have a ton of mushrooms growing out of my woodchip pile. What are your thoughts on this? Should I take them and put them in my compost pile? I don't really wanna put these in my kitchen blender...could I throw em in a bucket of rain water and slosh em around THEN put em in the compost?? Hmmm...what do you think?
Adrianne Kimbrew You could absolutely do that! Put them in a bucket of water, smash it up with a shovel, ad a little molasses and you are going to definitely have millions of spores in your compost.
Adrianne Kimbrew Have you heard of soap and water to clean up with? Come on now, BE BRAVE!!! :-)
***** lol...nah, I think I'll pass. I reserve it for my green smoothies! ;-)

If i only have sun..can i put up a shield of aome sort to give shade...any ideas
did you do a follow up video?
What is it? Как можно было смешать споры вешенки и шампьонов вместе?? I have one question... did you can to grow mushrooms?
I'm soooooo going to do this with Morels next year...
Aaron Monette Give it a shot! I would try it with a compost pile, but also try it with a woodchip pile. I have had a ton more success inoculating a woodchip pile.
Right on...Still it will have to sit for a year right...? morels are very picky on Temp.
Think of this seriously ... a pile of seasonal Mushrooms thats renewing it self each year. Free food source.
Aaron Monette I have been told to let it set for a year, and keep it wet and soggy. Then the year you plant sprinkle wood ash all over the pile and mix it in, and soak it again before adding the morel spores.
Morels can't be cultivated. Sorry.
what happened after that?? did they grow?? where is the followup video??
Bro, this is more as an experiment. Can you show some real mushrooms growing with this method.
Go here now if you want to learn how to grow organic mushrooms cheaply: MushroomGrow.xyz
It's D again lol, great video bro and it was well done and easy to follow, i'd just say that if you flame sterilize you wont have to wipe down with the alcohol, also I'd suggest using different paper towel(tear a single piece into halves or fourths) pieces and soaking them when wiping different surfaces to keep sterile technique. Again great video, much love, and happy growing
ROFL... you scroll through a boat load of "sales pitch" then wwwwaaaaaaaaay at the bottom...It's $37.00
its not very often im impressed however watching this certainly made me say wow but have you looked at the resource called Gregs Mushroom Grower look for it on google
Ther is a better way you get the head and paper Gil’s facing down on the paper and cover with cup after a day you get a spore prints plant them
Just plant the piece of paper?
I have my doubts about the blender o.O Whats the difference between spores of those two mushrooms and (for example) yeast? I dont know any better yeast and other fungi will die if they are blended?
I haven't done my research but since they are microscopic I think they stay unharmed and as war as I know mycelium also still stays alive if you brake it into really tiny tiny pieces.
What time of year is best?
Sulfured molasses is made from immature, green sugarcane that is then treated with sulfur fumes during the sugar extracting process whereas Grandma's unsulfured molasses is made of the finest quality, pure unsulfured juice of sun-ripened sugarcane.
Perhaps spraying the slurry might increase yield?
how long will it take to have mushroom coming out? Is it possible some natural poisonous mushroom also generate at the same time same place?
onebed123 It is 100% possible to have poisonous mushrooms form as well, and that is why I recommend always knowing how to identify mushrooms. They will not grow together, but they can absolutely grow within a foot of eachother.
any updates? i would like to know if this method worked.
Im hesitant to plant this in my yard due to the Toadstools and orange fungal powdery mushrooms that grow in the northside shade.
How do you know if water has been chlorinated or not?
Is there a follow up video of this
Misseed the ph part. Does it like acid or not?
pretty cool......you should have just ordered wine cap sawdust spawn, its cheap on ebay and you would have had a 100% chance of getting mushrooms
Gardening & More Well these were free, so I didn't have to order anything. But I may try winecaps.
cant beat free
If you use mushrooms from a store as you did and did this it wouldn't grow poisonous mushrooms right? ?would they be ok to eat and the same type you used?
RICKY GUTIERREZ Like I said, make sure you know how to identify mushrooms because some poisonous ones could very easily grow, but most will be edible and delicious!
seems like throught my trial an error oysters of all kinds prefer to grow on wood, maple, oak, hemlock are a few. they even love straw
TheItalian Garden They definitely LOVE straw.
Thanks for the video - just want to echo the many comments here requesting a follow-up~😉
Do u have an update on this video ?? Did the mashroom grew successfuly ?
+bintlooda The mushrooms did grow, but we are unsure of the variety because it was all mixed and they never got very big.

Can I use button mushrooms? Mushrooms need to be fresh or 3 to 5 days old in fridge also fine?
+Pathto Peace
Yeah, button mushrooms are actually a great species to try this with. Even when you get them from the stores, they are chock full of black spores and readily multiply in compost (in fact this is how they are industrially grown). Old mushrooms are perfectly fine for this as well, just wash the container out. *Just do not eat the results if you use button mushrooms for composting because they have quite a few toxic and deadly look-alikes that are very common and easy to mis-identify*
Also keep in mind this is NOT a sure-fire process. I don't know if industrial growers do anything to their mushrooms before they reach the store but I guarantee that big business tries to protect their interests. They likely sell mushrooms in a state where you can't use them for your own garden. They may sell them too young, or sell them after they drop their spores so that you can't easily reproduce them yourself. There may even be a way to inoculate the spores - I really don't know, but I do know that it is common practice for these industries to sell produce that does not grow for you. Otherwise, they'd be out of a job -_- Gotta love capitalism.
Regardless... its... a mushroom :D It will always have quite a few spores left in the gills, even after it has propagated (unless it has been sterilized somehow). So this method will work fine - it's just with button mushrooms, they tend to be sold before they are fully mature. So, you'll have to prepare them and let them mature for a couple of days before you use them. Look for ones that have the gills exposed. If you can clearly see the black gills already on the mushroom, it likely has produced spores (or will if you let it sit for 24hr) and this method will work.
I THINK I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE! Im not gonna sat where but may i ask, Is there a soccer field near this path of yours? O.o
Don't do him, delete this please 😢
where's the follow up video?
can I buy mushrooms off the super market and using those to make some prints and use em?
yes
made a hugell bed, put grass on the wood and compost on top of that now theres white fuzz on top of the bed???
Do you make videos? I'm totally considering putting some logs (young or branches...but old!) at the end of our hugell bed and doing this...please reply if you did get mushrooms and talk about it somewhere!
@@KristinBennett hi Kristin, I'm sorry to say that there were no mushrooms. As I said in my comment, there was a white fuzz grew on the compost but no mushrooms unfortunately.
Hi can I please use honey as my sugar source its natural
Is there an update to this video?
Great video Luke. How much Molasses did you use? This is my first year with a compost pile; I never thought I had enough material for a pile. Boy was I wrong. Been using grass clippings from the front yard, wood chips, young weeds with no seeds, kitchen scraps etc. Pile is already 6 foot by 3 foot. I do have a white fungus growing in the pile with plenty of worms and huge grubs that look like the ones from another of your videos. Unfortunately mine is in full sun, no shade out by the garden. Do you think I could grow mushrooms on the north side of the pile? Keep up the good work.
Brian Merfeld about 2 tablespoons, but the amount does not really matter.
how about the mushrooms in the woods?
Agartine resides in the portobello
Would it be okay to use pure honey as your sugar source?
Honey is an antifungal. So I would suspect that honey would kill the spores?
does this really work
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
@@ManuelaRivelli2735 I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it.
@wilson_spores is my dealer🍄
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
@@johhnyjames where to search? Is it IG??
When was the molasses ADDED
At 06:30 / I spend carpophores in chlorinated water and I put with boiled and rinsed paper. Old tea or coffee grounds are suitable if it is boiled to kill bacteria. But the fact of Pleurotus ostreatus married AGARICUS bispora is a great audacity! It is awesome!
I have and do grow plenty of different mushrooms. I am quite skeptical of this working tbh. But worth a shot if you're interested? There's much better and productive ways.
Have you got any mushrooms growing in your compost?
Sounds everything good but I don't want to play with unless I know it is proven. Where is the mushroom man ?
What happened to the honey? I did not see it go in.
have u came out yet
Bonnie Fisher Hopefully soon😄
Can this process happen inside in a tub?
Crystal M. Barkley yes
Hmmm interesting but I don't think portobellos will grow this way. You may have been better off eating it. I feel like the compost would be a poor catalyst for the spores. The oysters however, you may have luck with those. And if you do I hope you share the results.
unchano I agree 100% the portobello as even ***** was pointing out is not the right growing medium. However I have had 3 piles do very very well with the oyster slurry. They grow like crazy!
