We need more podcasts from you Jaques, you have a great intuitive sense of knowledge and intellect. so all of your content makes a very rich straight forward knowledge Thanks 🙏
Working in commercial fruiting vegetable greenhouses, we use mycorrhizal symbiotes. I believe it's mainly Trichoderma and we use it for disease prevention.
I learned about North Spore from a video you (Jacques) did last year. Literally just harvested the second flush off my North Spore lions mane spray & grow last night! It's so fun to do. I crumbled the leftover blocks from my oysters into my garden beds. I figure even if they don't grow any extra mushrooms, it's good organic material to add. I also do have the wine cap that I'm going to try in my garden at some point. I have a lot of live oak limbs in my yard from the couple of hurricanes we got in the past month. Seems like a great time to start some shiitakes!
That is awesome to hear! The spray and grow kits can really produce quite a lot of mushrooms without any issues! Crumbling the block outside is for sure the right move, you always have the chance of them colonizing and re-fruiting in your yard. The limbs would for sure make for good mushroom growing and we are going to show the full process in our upcoming video on the Epic Gardenign channel sometime near the end of the month!
After listening to your chat and the reassurance about not growing anything that would poison you, I definitely want to try some in my garden now. Thanks. Thx!
You can for sure grown any of the indoor kits without a problem. As for outside I believe oyster mushrooms are most heat tolerant with the Pink and Golden being able to fruit at higher temperatures. You would still want to target growing them in the shoulder seasons as they want temps to at least drop under 90 at night! These would be my suggestion but I will let other more knowledge people chime in as well!
The tour video will be released on the main Epic Gardening channel soon - but there was so much footage from the tour that it took a little longer than we expected to get it edited!
I'm waiting for my Chip Drop to eventually get here. We have a lot of dead wood on the property, but no chipper! Is this better grown on hardwood or softwood?
It's a bit more challenging for that kind of growth. I think it might be possible but success would be lower. North spore has them listed as logs and bucket growing for outside.
You know I bought a bag of wine cap mushrooms but I did my raised beds but all I'm getting is something else I did reach out to North spore and they said that's not edible so not no idea what I'm doing wrong I just put it in my raised bed just like it said but I'm getting a tons of mushroom that I actually messing with my seedlings as I'm putting it in there but to make matters worse they aren't really wine caps
It's likely you already had a competitive fungi species living in your soil. With mushroom cultivation the hope so they you either eliminate or outcompete the other species. For indoor growing you can sterilize your medium but for outside it's always a bit of a gamble. It is likely they didn't have enough fresh material to colonize and so the species that was already in there overpowers them
@@thebeetpodcast - howm do I eliminate the other species - I used to have wood chips but after seeing your video I put down the Wine Cap spores and then Garderner's Straw.

Great fascinating interview looking forward to forward to more.

Great interview!!
I got started with a Lions Mane Block from North Spore! Crazy how easy they can make Mushroom growing
I really found this video/interview interesting...thank you for sharing

There are some varieties out there like the Wine Cap that are absolutely unmistakable and have no true look alike!
I ordered my first winecap spore just a few weeks ago. I'm looking forward to listening to this podcast, probably more than once.
You will have so much fun with them! The hype of the first harvest is unreal!
Any suggestions for growing mushrooms in Arizona 9a low desert?

Where are the practical/tour videos they keep talking about? Not yet released?
The tour video will be released on the main Epic Gardening channel soon - but there was so much footage from the tour that it took a little longer than we expected to get it edited!

Is this better grown on hardwood or softwood?
Can you grow lion’s mane in a raised bed or garden path similar to how you grew wine caps?
It's a bit more challenging for that kind of growth. I think it might be possible but success would be lower. North spore has them listed as logs and bucket growing for outside.
Have you read Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake? It's fascinating and beautiful!
@40:10 ...i keep trying to tell my partner... what they want is the HARDEST one😂❤

@@JigmeChhimi scoop it up and soak it in lime water? Or maybe aggressively till the soil?
Where's your hat? 😮
