How to Grow Portobello Mushrooms | Agaricus Bisporus Cultivation Step by Step

Portobello button mushrooms are not easy to grow and I have searched for years to find an easy way to grow them and could never find videos actually showing the whole process. I made this video to help all the people who also could not find proper tutorials. Many written tutorials say that you must use compost as a substrate which can be very hard to make or find the right one, In my method I do not use compost, only horse manure and straw. My method uses the dub tub method which provides a humid environment so you wont need a special grow tent or grow room.
Button mushrooms benefit from bacteria and other microorganisms present in the casing layer so the casing layer is left unsterileized. I recommend making the casing layer thick and provide plenty of water to maximize the amount of baby mushrooms that will fully develop.

I know what you mean but i made it easier, normally you would have to make special compost which takes months. With my method you don’t have to wait long.

Great video, I like it👍. Have a question, which agar did you use? I had problems cloning this type of mushroom, very slow growth, unlike the wood-destroying ones. Have you researched the topic of liquid culture for this mushroom species? From experience, I tried potato broth and a little honey. Growth is slow, but present. I searched for information on this topic, which liquid culture recipe is suitable for this species, but there is very little information. I wish you patience and inspiration, what you are doing is very useful!💪🍄

@@SporenSprout I do grow my own vegetables, and pressure can them up, and hunt my own meat and catch my own fish and seafood. I also forage wild edible mushrooms whilst I'm out and about. But this growing your own mushrooms appears to take a lot of tedious and knowledgeable efforts to keep things sterile. But I envy your desire for being successful. That variety has a different name for each size and color. That's something most people don't know or understand. Great video! I did enjoy it. 🥰👍

Button and paddy straw mushrooms are secondary decomposer's, so basically they need to grow on broken down compost or substrate

The jiffy mix, that's the casing layer? Correct? Would it also work if I did a pseudo casing layer with Coco/vermiculite/gypsum mix? I've experimented in the past without a casing layer and the first flush comes out looking like weird slug blobs 🤣🤣 Still delicious but not very visually appealing. Pinning is also very sporadic. This is only the second time I'm going to be messing with a casing layer for the white button mushroom. Just trying to be frugal. To get the jiffy and hydrated lime it's gonna be like $50 .... Granted it'll last for many future runs, if I can get away with doing the pseudo casing, I'll do that.
