I love your quote. "Nature is a beautiful thing we just need to grow with it".

[TheRealJasonVoorhees]

freeze used coffee, pasteurize while making substrate. works fine for me growing 1 coffee can at a time.

Great beginner friendly video, been wanting to grow mushrroms for years. Tried coffee grounds but gave up as looked like mold took over. Threw mix into garden and days later had blue oysters popping up. Well happy but soon got munched by something. So now im trying again after seeing this

Out of all the clips I watched for growing mushrooms home this one is the best so far

Your timing...or my timing... is perfect. As a new grower of mushrooms, I've been looking lately at my daily coffee ground use and the water bottles we pitch regularly. You've given me some good ideas. As a suggestion, you might encourage your viewers to use gloves. The nooks and crannies of the hands and nails combined with their flexing nature make them very hard to effectively sanitize and they provide a primary contamination vector w/in any sterile zone. Alcohol and a cheap pair of nitrile (in the US) gloves will go a long way towards keeping those nasty critters at bay. As far as rolling up your sleeves a clean long sleeve woven shirt is a better option. Skin sheds constantly, and in that shed are microbes you might not want in your grow. Thanks and best of luck to you guys!

How about the waste coffee grinds from coffee shop? Normally we put it for raised beds. Sometimes with some sugar included. Can I use that mixed with straws?

Good video, good speed, not boring and definitely informative - thank you!👍

I bought some grain spore on a whim one night and this is way more complicated than I thought it would be. For an organism that grows in rotting logs, in the dirty, unhygienic woods behind my house, it sure is finicky.

When you have sprayed a mist of water, do you re-cover with liner?

So i follwed every step and got as far as it takeing over fulky white same way you did it messure ments and everything and there few spots that ant white yet it has only been twelve days will check back in five days versese two what do you think?

[daveharris]

Have you tried using coffee chaff mixed with grounds rather than straw? I collect both fresh from a roaster/cafe so they would be pasteurised.

[allisonc]

I have left over coco noir from some indoor plants, do you think that would be a decent alternative to the straw?

[trinidadcurtan]

Sir is it ok if i use cardboard as substrate for oyster mushrooms. Watching from 🇵🇭🐾🐕

[Whisky.]

this might very well be a st*pid question but can't I freeze the coffee grounds instead of using it within 24 hours?

[mrfreshscott]

Hi, loving all you videos, Ive been using straw pellets, rehydrated at 60%, what coffee pellet ratio would you advise?

[babygorilla]

So for starting some from liquid culture and im going to try something. Ill sanitize my hands and drop the coffee grains streight into a freshly unsealed plastic ziplock bag. This should work i got a shelf in the basement for em it's quite damp. Actually do you think too much liquid in the bag is a problem its coffee grounds direct from the drip machine there was a bit of water in the bag. Its got holes for ventilation.

[said.skopal]

Wow.Can we grow any mushrooms except oysters on this way?

[trevorbaker]

I'm gonna use all natural hard wood saw dust as opposed to straw it's completely organic and free of debris and chemicals...I hope it works

[dscott]

Thx for the video. This was very informative.

I’m wondering if you can pasteurise older coffee grounds, let’s say a few weeks old, or perhaps even dry your coffee grounds so there’s less chance of infection with moulds? I don’t drink that much coffee after all haha
