Just had a thought...I`m guessing that Australian customs will want to keep my mushroom kits in Australia, so if the winner is from outside Australia, I`ll find a nice bonus prize for you ;-)

I can't believe I've not seen your channel before now.. I love what you've been doing, so inspiring.

I can't wait for that movie that was the best intro I've seen in a long time

Weedy, I have enjoyed watching your videos for a few years now. My favorite was the one you labored all day to create a romantic evening for your wife. It showed the rest of us how much you love, respect, and appreciate her. That, my friend, is the most valuable gift; more valuable than the most exspensive jewelry and lavish vacation in some exotic place on our planet. I love watching and learning your techniques and your explanation of the science behind them.

40 times 🍄. Always great. My wife and I love watching your videos in the morning with our coffee.

41 baby 🍄. let's grow some in the desert 🏜 heat of Arizona

Thank you this movie preview make me have tears of happiness! Great teacher on mushrooms. Love how you toss stuff out than an grow when you cut the herbs!

Awwww, Weedy, Mate! You really are the Pied Piper of the gardening world. I was not keen on friendly bugs or worms (100 % gardening with gloves) but you made me want to vermicompost and keep bees; I loved rain in my garden but not on me while gardening, and you made me enjoy feeling that cooling rain and squelching in the mud, now you are making me want to go and study all the fungus growing....Weedy Magic! Thanks for another lesson.

Just yesterday I was telling some friends that I needed a mentor to help me understand how to grow mushrooms. And here you are! I am surprise I have not seen your channel before! My lovely tulip tree was blown over and I saved a lot of logs from it to plant mushroom plugs into it. I am so excited to learn and learn and learn!!! 43 mushrooms!

Competition is over and we have a winner. Watch the next episode to find out how many it was! Heads up mushroom growers! I say "mushroom spores" every time I should have said "Mushroom spawn". For those interested in correct terms, and the purpose of propper words, this is for you: Mushroom spawn and mushroom spores are two different stages in the life cycle of a mushroom, and they serve different purposes in the cultivation of mushrooms. Here's a breakdown of the differences between them: Definition: Mushroom Spawn: Mushroom spawn refers to a substrate that has been inoculated with mushroom mycelium, which is the vegetative part of the fungus. Spawn acts as the starting point for mushroom cultivation, providing the mycelium with a nutrient-rich environment to grow and develop. Mushroom Spores: Mushroom spores are tiny reproductive structures produced by mature mushrooms. They are released into the environment and can serve as the means of reproducing the mushroom species. Spores are often used to create new strains or varieties of mushrooms. Purpose: Mushroom Spawn: Spawn is used to establish and propagate a specific strain or variety of mushroom. It provides a controlled and consistent source of mycelium for inoculating a growing medium (such as substrate or logs) to cultivate mushrooms. Mushroom Spores: Spores are used primarily for the reproduction and propagation of mushroom species in a more natural, diverse, or experimental way. They can be used to create spore prints, which are used to study the morphology of the spores and to create new mycelium cultures. Size and Visibility: Mushroom Spawn: Spawn is typically more visible and tangible than spores. It consists of mycelium-infused substrate, which can be seen as a white, web-like network within the substrate. Mushroom Spores: Spores are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye. They are released by mature mushrooms and can be collected on various surfaces, such as paper, to create spore prints. Cultivation Process: Mushroom Spawn: To cultivate mushrooms using spawn, you typically mix the spawn with a suitable growing medium (e.g., compost, straw, wood chips) to create favorable conditions for mushroom growth. The mycelium from the spawn colonizes the growing medium and eventually produces mushrooms. Mushroom Spores: Cultivating mushrooms from spores is more involved and requires additional steps. Spores are used to create a spore syringe or spore print, which is then used to inoculate a sterile substrate. The mycelium must grow from the spores before mushrooms can be produced. In summary, mushroom spawn is a more advanced and convenient way to cultivate specific mushroom varieties, as it provides established mycelium for inoculation. Mushroom spores, on the other hand, are primarily used for research, breeding, or for growing mushrooms in a more natural or experimental context, but they require more steps and patience to develop into mature mushrooms.

Maaan You are an inspiration. For me You are te Wim Hof of nature.

I counted 40 times that you said mushroom or mushrooms. I love your videos!! When I discovered your channel, I binge watched them all. When my youngest granddaughter visited I played several for her. She’s only 5, but she was fascinated. ❤

I get the biggest smiles when I see a new video to watch of yours!! So much inspiration and positive energy that I receive ❤ thank you

Oh , that was lovely! No walk-in freezers, no expensive monitering equipment... And as always, your video was delightful to watch.

I counted 39 mushroom or mushrooms 🍄 always wanted to grow my own, will definitely share a log with my family too!

Hi Weedy, can't get over how your accent sounds so Maori ! Absolutely love the gentle way you present gardening information, making it so achievable for beginners and inspirational for jaded gardeners like me. Anyway, could only count mushroom/s said 39 times.

Hi chef ! Nothing more than greetings from a Mauritius Island follower, A little message to thank you and encourage you in what you do. I fell in love with permaculture 2 years ago and I am soon launching my own “life” project. From my point of view, this lifestyle has so much meaning for humanity, that I wish it to all those who want to find themselves. Your way of sharing what you experience is unique and absolutely magnificent. Thank you for simply being who you are. Cheers Mate ;) -Axel

You are speak so relax 😮 it's easy understand.. I'm learning English.. and l like this topics .. plants.. trees.. garden.. flowers .. etc. so.. for my his channel is really cool .. thanks from Mexico

I got 41 times of mushroom / mushrooms, and I've got some spare short gum tree logs, and some still connected, but dying gum (big) branches in my little little back yard and now can think of the perfect use for them! Love your channel.

Thanks Weedy - another wonderful watch! i get so excited when I see you've released another video. i counted 39.

Oh my hat! The excitement I felt seeing this video from Weedy!!! YESSS!! Just a heads up with the Wine Caps - You are going to find them all over in the coming years. They like to spread themselves around 😅

I didn't keep track of how many times you said "mushroom" but I did start coming up with jokes that had the punch line "That's the last straw". This was a great video, I learned stuff and you're becoming my favorite "nature/garden narrator".

Bloody hell Weedy, I’ve been up since 4.45 am & now you’ve got me watching your magnificent mini mushy movie over & over! Thank god we didn’t have to count how many times you got straw wrong too, cos I had a hard enough time trying to count mushrooms! Anyway, I got 41. I’m probably wrong, but I hope not cos I was just looking to buy some on the weekend! Keep up the excellent work Weedy, you’re a gem 🙃

42 times you said mushroom. I follow you on multiple platforms since day one. Love the garden, love the vibe and please keep up the amazing work you do! Thank you for sharing my friend. Cheers

You're such an inspiration for me. We're still saving up for some land, but we plan to grow as much as we can. I showed my dad your fruit tree planting method and it's worked amazing for him. THANK YOU 🥰

52! I grow mushrooms at home and I'm super happy that my favorite channel is now growing in his garden too

I got 41 🍄💚 I had to go back and listen again. I love mushrooms - haven’t met one I didn’t like yet. I’m a new fan of your channel, and really appreciate an Australian perspective for gardening and landcare. I love your trailer by the way. I love Mother Earth wearing green too!

Loved the video makes me smile everytime someone starts growing mushrooms. What you used was called spawn, you innoculated with myceliated grain. That is to say there were no spores whatsoever (it's why kits can be shipped all around the world). The spores themselves will come from the mushroom caps and will look dusty if they pile up :). Enjoy! PS. Wine caps loce star much as well and are GREAT in between rows of a garden.

I love your passion and you taught me a lot about biology now im cultivating my own LAB, so much work put into your videos and i get to watch for free, thanks 👍🏻

Pretty cool to have warm weather all year round like that.

You said mushrooms about 15 times. I love mushrooms. I will grow them soon. Thank you.

I soak horse cubes for a day or two an spread on my wood chips an mix, definitely speeds up composting cycle an I get incredibly rich soil in 🇨🇦❤️✌️

Thanks Weedy for this great video simplifying mushroom growing! I've always wanted to know this. I'm not too geographically far from you, also very slowly starting my permaculture patch up in midcoast NSW. I think you said Mushroom(s) 40 TIMES. Would love a kit to try it out! Also couple of ideas: (1) there might be an opportunity to try either a 80watt UV-C lamp or 12v Ozone O3 generator (about AU$120), run for 2 to 4hrs or longer in an enclosed space for wood chips/logs etc, which would Fully Sterilise them. I use them to kill mould and damp smells in all corners of the house and furniture, about once every 1 or 2 months when heavily humid/damp, while we have exited the house ofcourse. Works a Charm! So Ozone, may help scale up production surplus. I've also successfully used O3 to clean/filter rancid brown ditch water, with O3 + lime + sand + charcoal, to a drinking potable standard. Easier than we might think. O3 is pretty powerful and can be run off a solar panel. (2) could we use beeswax instead, to cover the mushroom spawn plugs? Fantastic video, thanks again!

Another wonderful informative video. I am going to order a couple of kits for my garden. I have never thought of growing mushrooms until watching this. Your wisdom and ideas David are in so many of our gardens all around the world. Never stop this is one of my favourite KZfaq channels and what’s better it’s Australian content from the area where I grew up.

I think you said it 40 times. I really find your videos inspiring and fascinating and I love to binge watch them all. Your attitude is amazing and it makes me laugh thank you for being awesome

MORNING :) mushrooms 41 times 2 times written ......... but geez its hard to concentrate i find that your voice and watching you garden very mesmerising calming thank you again for a great video.

Very inspiring. I’ve been thinking about growing my own here at my rural bee sanctuary but was worried about the Australian summer heat. Now, I can try my hand at growing these beauties. Just subscribed. Thank you 🙂

Hi Weedy, I have been watching your channel for quite some time now and I'm always learning something new. I cannot wait til i have my own backyard space to start my own gardening journey! I have wanted to grow my own mushrooms for the longest time so I thank you for the opportunity to grow my own with this competition. I counted 41 times you said mushroom or mushrooms🍄 Never stop what you do, you inspire so many people 🌱💚🌿🍃

Weedy is the best. When my garden is ready i will be trying this for sure

Super cool. I love your content and I’ve been wanting to learn to grow my own shrooms. Thanks for your video. I watched it three times so I could get the number of times you said mushroom/s. I counted 41. Great video. Can’t wait to see the updates.

You make it look doable. Cant wait to see the update! I wish we had a mushroom farm i could use to avoid those plastic small containers. I also am to afraid of inoculating my house and my small yard in the city. Maybe i can convince my townspeople to put some of these around. Its moldy enough where i live and the construction/real estate men 'don't' see it as a problem. Cant wait to watch ur video!!!!

im a beginner mushroom forager and i love eating mushroom, and this is such a good idea to grow mushroom

Heck yea!! I’ve always wanted to learn to grow mushrooms. I just got my fall plants going so I’ll start researching in learning hood to gross mushrooms during the fall and then BBS ready to go next spring. Thank you my friend. Love the videos. Keep em coming.

Another feather in the cap for the Weedy Garden 🪶

🍄 I only counted 38 but I also have a 1 year old girl running around with no nappy on, so I might have missed a few ☺️ either way it was a fun game to play 🧚🏼‍♀️🦋🐝🍃🍂🪵 thanks Weedy we all love your channel here in Austinville in QLD 🌞✨ big love from the Farrar-Wells clan 🌷🐞

Blessings be on you my Brother. As always, Thank You

You said it 40 times or so Mr Weedy. Thanks for your inspirational channel mate

lol I say hay when I mean straw eeeeevery time!!!! You're not alone ;)

Hopefully I’m not too late for the competition, I counted 41 mushrooms but I feel I may have missed one or two! Either way another wonderful video for us all to enjoy 🐝 Happy gardening!

Weedy, you always make my day so warm and fuzzy!! Thanks for all you give us!

I counted 40, twice. these videos are so relaxing!

Another excellent video! "straw" LOL you make me smile

@2:22 was a trippy shot my friend

My girlfriend and I are currently on a world backpacking trip- but when we get back to Oz we want to get a small property like this- so much inspiration from this and other similar Chanel’s! We would love to visit you one day and get a tour before we buy our own

Perfect timing as I just bought my second grow kit and spawns ❤. Great video as usual David. Love from California mate.

Hello Weedy, I counted 40 mushrooms. Love your episodes. Can't wait to see the movie.

Weedy, this is third video I watch on your channel and its beautiful! Your taste of music, lifestyle and your personality. The love in what you are doing, in every little detail. Even when you add echo effect on your voice (haha I am an editor as well) also brings some kinda of home atmosphere. Your channel really makes me relax, even being in another country for many years and not seeing my friends and family from Ukraine, this channel and your soul in it makes me feel a little bit like I am at home. This is not just the video of how to grow your own mushrooms, its the whole philosophy of life. I subscribed your channel in the first 3 minutes. Thanks mate for sharing this! Hopefully one day I will visit Australia and see all of it personally! Good luck and have a great day!

Haha what a spectacular video. Such a joy to watch and see your passion for this flow so naturally through you. I especially loved the echo effect you added as you stuck your head in the mushroom tent!

Thanks for the video, as always beautifully done and very inspiring. I counted 40 mushrooms and would love to be included in your competition. Mushrooms would be a lovely addition to our garden😁👏

You are a brilliant educator Thanks for being humble

Just found your channel and I love it!

This method of creating beneficial bacteria for your soil is great, it is actually very beneficial. Your work creates happiness in itself. Thank you very much.

Thank you weedy. I Have tried to grow mushrooms a few times without success. I am good at growing them when I dont try. Had a few come up in my polly tunnel which is hot and dry haha! Don't figure. I am in UK so don't worry about prize, it is a lovely thing you do sharing your knowledge. My guess is 40 and the straw and hay thing does my head in too 😋

Lol. And here was me counting how many times you said Hay instead of straw. 😂 great job brother

Amazing video, so informative and calming too. Every video is like a small film. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for yet another amazingly captivating video Weedy 😍 You’ve inspired me so much through your passion and art. I love your story-telling and now I’m so keen to grow mushrooms 🍄 ❤ I counted 42! 🎉

Wow that was a truly beautiful and inspiring video and what an incredible set up you have created as a personal paradise. The trailer was amazing too! I'm stuck in a urban environment with no garden but am lucky enough to back onto woodland from my lounge, where I feed Foxes and Badgers and a Squirrel army. I've just taken up indoor Mushroom growing and hopefully microgreens later to couple with such, so am crafting the best Mushroom environments for happy shrooms ahead. There are two dead tree stumps out my window just itching for dowel spawning too lol Something tells me I should feed my critters, kick back with a cool drink and fire up your full movie! It'll make a nice autumn evening watching your incredible "covid" permaculture journey! Greetings from PanSporeA in UK ;)

I grow mushrooms (same variety as you) in my little backyard but I put them in shaded areas. It’s wonderful. Thank you for sharing

What an amazing video! I think the best I have seen and we love mushrooms!

Thank you for the amazing videos. I can not wait till i have my land and put everything i have learnt from your videos cheers... I have counted 40

Another awesome episode, we are 12 months into the journey up on the sunshine coast. We always grew food in our suburban garden and later on our acre but a friend with a farm invited us to collaborate with her. So now we live tiny on a magnificent cattle property. We have been so inspired and implemented so much of what we have learned from you Mr Weedy. We have the same climate as your area. So it seems my next project will be mushrooms - that’s 42 from you and 1 from me. Bless you heaps for being my inspo and teacher.

44 times Weedy 🤞Another wonderful video as always, thanks 😀

I am thinking at least 60 times mushroom / mushrooms! Love this video!

Love your channel so much. You and your team really capture the beauty of gardening. Thank you 🙏

Great Job Weedy!! Keep it up bro. Thanks for the videos

So glad u jumped up on my feed. Ur so koool. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge.

Mr.Weedy- love your short films. National Geographic/ Discovery quality. Would like very much to give mushrooms a go in my garden. I counted 44 times. Wish me luck

Thanks WEEDY.... I am there with U since the very inception.... Love you and all the best.

Love your Trailer - Beautiful - Love and Appreciate you Mother Earth 💓 Thank You. Thank you The Weedy Garden

You're gonna live those Wine Caps. They taste very nutty. 72.

37 times lol from Indiana awesome video.. looking forward to seeing more

Again: Brilliant Weedy! Eagerly awaiting the first flush.

Amazing thing spawn is. I've purchase one of those bags and managed to replicate it to the point I didn't know what to do with it XD I've learned too much water and you'll drown it; merely a soaked hay for a few minutes is more than enough to seal a bag and watch it grow *ejem* and never buy more spawn ever again *ejem* Thanks for the amazing video, looking forward to an update and a happy 1st flush!!!

Love it!!! Definitely going give this a try in my earthmagik garden😊😅

I live in Canadá and Î’m very happy to see your vídeo.

It's so relaxing watching you doing all this and so helpful for the future. Thank you again

Great video! I can’t wait to start my own mushroom beds

Little extra tipp on inoculating logs: drill the holes in a spiral form, because the mycelium can easily grow up and down the log and harder to the sides (because of the transport pores of the tree wich go vertically). This way you need the least dowels for the biggest effect :)

Hey weedy, great vid mate. We counted 41 mushrooms. Cheers Ethan

Respect brother! BOM ❤❤❤

this was a very nice vid to watch :) I just started growing oysters recently, waiting for my buckets and tubs to colonise fully, about half way there now. 1st time growing shrooms and I'm excited

Getting the stuff together, can't wait to give it a go, THANKYOU

Congratulations with the 200.000 subscribers! Amazing work :D Greetings from Denmark

I descovering Now this fantastic Channel! And i counted 41 time mushrooms

“39” Mushroom & Mushrooms! Waiting for more videos about mushrooms and banana plants 🌱

I counted 40 mushroom(s)! What a cool video! Even If I had to watch it twice, with captions, and at 1.25x speed :)

43 times? Lovely video. Inspiring as always!

I can smell the field work on you good job my boy

Another awesome and educational video Weedy. I love watching your videos. Today I counted you saying mushrooms 41 times. Thats a lot of mushrooms...

I just discovered your channel today. Already my favorite. :)
