How we grow shiitake mushrooms in our backyard garden! 🙂 #growyourownfood #urbanhomesteading

Anyone thinking of doing this please double check your mushrooms when harvesting as other types of mushrooms may start to grow there too. Never assume the mushroom you pick is the mushroom you planted. Be safe 🍄

And the second best part is that mushroom compost is one of the most nutritious types of soil for growing vegetables there is.

Ive been trying to figure out what to utilize the shady side of my house for and i think I'll give this a try!

[subdrvr]

Well Shiitake, I am going to have to try that!

Do you soak your logs prior to innoculation?

Also a note for viewers…don’t use old/dead logs as they already have fungal cultures which will be in competition with your mushroom’s mycelium. Fresh cut works best. I ask about soaking because I’m still unsure whether it’s necessary.

For anyone not able to commit to something this long term, you can grow oyster mushrooms on soggy straw bales! <3 soak bales, cram spawn in there, keep soggy and shady.

To me THIS is relationship goals both of you beeing healthy together working together to keep the family unit healthy… mushrooms saved my life

Really cool. Just a tip for easier cleanup of the wax. Crockpot liners. Disposable or silicone ones

Super impressive method of growing mushrooms in one's backyard! Thanks for sharing!

Y’all are gonna be living till you’re like 120. All the organic and healthy home grown food. I love it.

Interesting! I diddent know that the Mushrooms would eventually break down the logs! And you can then use that too as COMPOST! AWESOME! Thanks!!

SO useful!! What a great way to make full sustainable use of everything - space, logs, compost, etc.! ❤❤❤

This is great. I Would like a couple more details but overall this is excellent idea. Thank you

Great video. We usually just buy our shiitake dried because we like that Asian flavor in our food but also because it's labor intensive. We grow oysters in straw mulch in the garden by just tossing spawn in the mulch. Our wood mulch pathways are spawned with king stropharia, and our hugelkulture beds are all spawned with ink caps. Toss and forget, add fresh mulch and you'll always have mushrooms. I did it all once and they produced forever, eventually i spread them to new beds by just grabbing a shovel full of soil and mulch and transferring it to the new bed.

This is honestly the best mushroom growing video ive Thanks for sharing

[YoutubeHandleModerator]

Damn cool. Love that it's basically compost at the end since it decomposes the wood so much faster

[GAPeach]

I did not know that about the compost. So the entire thing is a WIN WIN.
