Mushroom cultivation can be complex, but it can also be simple, easy and fun! This detailed, step-by-step video demonstrates how to grow your own organic mushrooms from scratch at home, without any special skills or equipment. It walks you through the whole process from start to finish.
Take an in-depth look at how to incubate a liquid culture or spore syringe to make grain spawn, how to spawn mycelium to bulk substrate, how to fruit multiple flushes of mushrooms, and get lots of helpful tips and tricks for harvesting, preserving and storing your mushrooms. At the end, learn how to get the most out of your grow using a monotub.
The process outlined in this video is designed for complete beginners, but doesn’t cut corners and allows you to learn and experience the same process that professional cultivators use. With a few successful grows under your belt, you’ll be a full-fledged mycologist in no time!
This is Episode 1, which specifically covers dung-loving mushrooms. Stay tuned for Episode 2 on wood lovers.
