How To Grow Mushrooms The EASY Way (No Sterilization!)

How to grow oyster mushrooms outdoors on a straw bale. No sterilization required like needed indoors. Step by step methods I used to successfully grow mushrooms at home and OUTSIDE. Easy as keeping the straw moist and letting nature do rest. I started mine in the summer when it was hot so the process took 45 days instead of 30 days but they still grew despite temperature limitations. Don't mess around sterilizing substrate. Inoculate a straw bale and set it in a shady spot outdoors, keep it moist, and enjoy your oyster mushrooms!

What excites me the most is when I see, especially with Australians and Americans, that they don't complicate things at all. They always go straight and don't look back, to a lot of loading about deadlines, humidity, techniques, temperature, .. They do as they think is ok and they usually succeed. So. Thank you for the unique display, patience and, last but not least, the success you showed us. Greetings from Slovenia👍🤘

We have been packing straw layered with mushroom spawn in plastic milk crates and produce boxes from our local Asian store. Great production and no sterilization also. We have used blue brown and Italian oysters (which are cold hearty and will sometimes reinoculate new straw. The pink and yellow oysters go all though the summer into fall. When they are done, we chuck a box a week of the spent straw to the chickens all through the winter and it becomes perfect compost and makes the chickens super healthy.

Cultivating mushrooms is as easy or hard as you want it to be. Even if you only have a passing interest and "buy a kit" you'll know that the mushrooms over by the rosebushes show up in the fall and are good to eat, the ones by the oak come out in spring are taste awesome, ect.... It saves from foraging the wrong kind of mushrooms in the wild.

With straw bales, it's really important to find straw that hasn't been sprayed with Round-up, which is commonly sprayed on commercial wheat and grain crops to make them ripen faster. Finding organic isn't easy, but is absolutely worthwhile, since the whole point is to grow mushrooms that are healthy to eat.

Your straw can be a lot looser. And a cheap and easy way to pasterize is a cold water hydrated lime bath. The way your growing is super simple, i get it. But you could boost your results by alot by giving it a good soak and a little bit more aeration. Good job tho! Whatever you can do to get other people to grow is great man!

Im trying to get some pink oysters going rn and i made 40 jars of spawn recently.

Mushrooms grow in the wild without our help. I figured why not toss them in the woods where they belong and let them do what they do naturally. Wine caps are even easier. They love dirty conditions where mold and other fungi are present. Actually helps them grow better!

North Spore is great for mushrooms: Https://amzn.to/3XF4fSN I purchased a 6lb blue oyster grain spawn block from North Spore. 6lbs was the right amount for a full bale. The grow kits are the easiest option for those who wish to grow indoors without the hassle of sterilization but if you wish to grow inside and sterilize, or grow outside and not sterilize, their site has many options.

You can do this with most agressive shroom strains only, basicaly wood loving strains like oisters, that can thrive on rough nutricious poor substrates. Shroom strains that are more slow or need more rich compounds will be easily overcompeted by molds etc on a non pasterised substrate. It will be pure luck if you get something except colorful molds collection. As example if you try make grain spawn on non sterile grains you fail instantly. Grain is far to rich and delicious for all bacteria and molds, your shrooms micelium not get a chance.

@@FastGardeningMichigan Yep, exactly. Anyway, I believe so. I have a sawmill. N E Ohio. The log pile, while sitting out back & aging, always gets free oysters growing on it,,, especially on the poplar & bass wood logs. I pick off the aged caps and place/ layer them in-between the cut-off slabs, with bark still attached, with the dust. & in one year they start producing. Grays & whites seem to work best, but I'm going to order some pinks & give them a try. Kinda like building a totem. THANKS. ;>)

@shreeshponkshe2410 Жыл бұрын

It's a good experiment, I'm not sure the conclusions are entirely correct. The reason for sterilisation is not only to improve chances of success for your desired mushroom, but also to eliminate potentially poisonous (and freaking coincidentally similar looking) varieties of mushroom that you could end up ingesting along with your oyster mushroom. We read so much about mushroom poisoning ... I think it makes a lot of sense to sterilize. Temperature ranges are for guidance ... To achieve *commercially meaningful* yields. Outside the range, you may still get some mushrooms but may be much lower quantity and sometimes lower quality (tougher / bitter). I liked your setup under the trees :)
