Growing Oyster mushrooms is a tasty treat!

Check out another wild mushroom species that I like to eat--Shaggy Manes--in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTlSsGBwifU

  • Steve, i've watched this vid now many times and have tried indoor oyster cultivation. All my primordials get to an inch or so bigger and then die off. I've given up and am going to do the plug spawn method this spring like you have done here. I was just wondering what kind of logs you used here? They look like poplar or alder? Am i correct? Could you also let us know how the logs that you soaked turned out as far as fruiting? good job and cant wait to start my own! Thanks for the vid! Cheers!

  • @MorchellaMike Hi Mike, That is odd that your shrooms just die like that...is your humidity too low? Plug spawn or sawdust spawn worked great for me...but the plug was slower to run. The wood was in fact Poplar. In my area of WNC Oysters love Yellow Poplar and after I soaked them they flushed strongly and I ate well:-) Best of luck with your shrooms.

  • im trying to figure out if the mushrooms in my yard are deadly to my dog, how can i find a guide with pictures to know if they are safe or if i should pick and discard them? please respond, love my puppy and dont want him to get sick

  • @nate76cumb Try mushroomexpert (dot) com and there are many good field guides out there also...

  • I found some but I think there white

  • does it matter what kind of wood? i have fruit trees

  • these grow on a few trees in front of my house in the city. i live in st. louis. my friends on mycotopia told me to make some miso soup with them!

  • @snakesteve68 Tanks anyway ,I have tracked down professor at I.U.P.U.I who helps Identify mushrooms for the public 

  • @Thecrayzmapler no, they are Oyster mushrooms. You can find them in many grocery stores and coops all over the world.

  • Nice looking omelet!

    How did you inoculate the logs?
