We Grew Oyster Mushrooms on Toilet Paper! Science Project #shorts

✅Taking precautions and doing your own research is encouraged.

✳️It’s better to use less processed toilet paper, without dyes, prints, and scents. There are also toxin-free alternatives out there. Unfortunately, our local store didn’t have any. The mushrooms were not consumed.

Watching the process was fun and educational for our family and a neat science project! Hope you enjoy this video. The information is below.

🍄The grain in the spawn provides the nutrients while the toilet paper helps the mushroom mycelium grow and establish. This structure allows exposure to air, temperature and humidity.

🍄The air has been very dry with our heater on, so I didn’t open the bag completely towards the end resulting in leggy stalks. They needed better air circulation. I had to mist 2-3 times to make sure there’s enough moisture.

Grey Dove Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus)

1. Boil water in a large pot and remove from heat.
2. Place a roll of TP in hot water until fully saturated. Remove TP and place on a cooling rack to drain. Allow it to cool. Removing the cardboard sped-up fruit, but it’s optional.
3. Put the roll in a filter patch bag.
4. Pour some grain spawn into the center of the TP roll.
5. Close the bag with a rubber band above the filter patch.
6. Place the bag in an area with a temperature between 65-75 F. We placed them in the hallway closet. This is the incubation period which took about 4 ½ weeks.
7. To stimulate fruiting, place the bag in the refrigerator for 2 days. 
8. Take the bag out of the refrigerator and remove the rubber band to allow air circulation. 
9. We misted the bag 2-3 times daily. The mushrooms were fully grown after 7 days from removing the bag from the refrigerator. The process took approximately 6 weeks.

I thought she was going to dip the toilet roll in batter and fry it…. Too many American food shorts for today 🤦🏼‍♀️

So is it absorbing whatever "nutrients" and manufactured chemicals from TP in order to grow?

[shawnwillis]

I wouldn’t eat mushrooms grown on toilet paper…but interesting👏🏻🤣

[yennev]

You Eat That ? Use it for Medicine on skin? Stuff grows everywhere light not always needed ?

[dhanushj]

How many days does it take to grow for harvest

[maroonKopper]

I think I would use Bamboo tissue non toxic just in case I want to eat😅

[vikingkiwi]

So this is what all those people bought all that toilet paper for.

[samdogie]

I'm using some old card board egg crates, and plain card board, mixed with a lil straw, gonna see what we get.

[SimSpark]

Now the mushroom smell and therefore taste like perfumed ironed toiletpapier?

[diwigalang]

Congrats! Sssniperwolf used your video!❤

Las semillas son de avena ? Y los hongos son comestibles, porque el papel higiénico debe de tener un proceso químico, proveniente de las "Pasteras" que vierten sustancias al mar.👍🇦🇷

[ytrebiLeurT]

So you just put wheat on toilet paper and mushrooms grow on it? this is a miracle how do you do it ?

[thrillaspirit]

Was muss man außer Klopapier in die Tüte rein tun weizen oder was ist das Könnte mir die zutaten vielleicht zu senden? Lg

[masternecronic]

Mushrooms scare the shit out of me honestly. Like it feels like they defy the laws of nature by growing in conditions most things CANT live in...

[jamesdean]
