Growing Oyster Mushrooms Indoors and Making Homegrown Polenta

Check out our Foraging & Gardening courses here:

In this series we're going to share how we live off of the food that we grow in our community garden plots, or forage and hunt in the woods. This week we're growing oyster mushrooms inside on our spent corn stalks!

Pro chef tip: save the stems and woody parts of your mushrooms then dehydrate them, a low oven works well if you don’t have a dehydrator, then use a blender to pulverize them into a fine powder. Mix with some nutritional yeast and salt, then sprinkle on popcorn, roasted potatoes, fried chicken, you name it. It’s a total umami bomb and you’ll never want Doritos again.

I love how your videos go back to when the items were growing.

I grew up watching the Home and Garden channel because my mom always had it playing in the house and this simple video is better than at least 99% of anything I ever saw on there

Wow, soaking in lime instead of boiling is such a great tip!

[genevaleon]

I absolutely love growing mushrooms all year round! Lionsmane has such a versatile texture depending on preparation. From chicken to lobster- It's always a treat!!

It would be great if you could give us a run down of the non-typical equipment you regularly use.

I love those weekly videos!
I'm sure that i will miss them once this challenge comes to an end in spring. 🙃
Thank you for sharing. 🙏☀️

Being born and raised in Georgia my favorite grits is with butter and cheddar cheese. It is delicious!

I love the snap shots of the summer garden in the video

Thank you both for supporting food security and sovereignty with your sliding scale for snap/ebt. Mushrooms both in the garden and in bags is something I'd like to try. And soap too. I'll be checking out your online classes for sure. Wonderful to see you throughout a whole year and your food looks delicious. Be sure to let us know when we can pre-order your book!

I appreciate how you two do things together as a couple ❣️

I really wish i could live off the land! But as a city dweller who's renting with a busy job and long working hours, it always seems like such a far away dream. Yet I keep coming back for inspiration and keep thinking... one day.... one day....

Yins are fun to watch and have such a soothing voice. ❤ one of the best growing channels out here

[juanferrero]

Thanks for sharing. It makes company on a cold friday night at home.

How did you store the batch of mycellium you've been using earlier? In the freezer? Where did you take it from?
Love your videos!! I'm waiting every day for the next one

The cinematography was amazing on this video

The music sounds much better now it's not so much in the foreground and the first thing I hear it's too loud but rather in the background and just adds to the esthetic ❤❤❤

I'd love to know how you like eating out. Knowing the quality of your food and the fresh tastes that you can create, do you notice a change in the quality of restaurant food?
