How To Grow Mushrooms At Home: Pasteurizing Coir

http://tinyurl.com/GYOMushrooms - Grow Your Own mushrooms, step by step instructions!

This video is a slideshow of the process of preparing coca coir, vermiculite and spent coffee grounds into a pasteurized mix that can be used for bulking your grain mycelium spawn out into a larger container (like the kitty litter bin in a previous video) for a higher yield of mushrooms.

This is an Intermediate level mushroom growing strategy. If you are brand new to growing mushrooms at home, consider the PF Tek/BRF cake strategy videos before jumping straight to bulk.

Some growers decide to use Garden Gypsum instead of the spent coffee grounds, because coffee grounds are more prone to contamination than Garden Gypsum is. YMMV

Hey mycelian,

Would you consider this method a better choice than using the one in the "Lets Grow Mushrooms-Casing" tutorial, using the peat moss method with vermiculite, gypsum and calcium carbonate?

[mycelian]

@jo2424 The only difference with peat moss vs coir is that peat moss needs to be pH balanced so you start putting in things like lime or the calcium carbonate. I have found coir to be super easy to find, cheap to buy, EXTREMELY contam resistant, and the less ingredients in a pie the better, according to me ;) I'm sure they all work about the same, it's how you treat them during fruiting that matters most. (mist fan mist fan mist fan fan fan!)

hey does making up this bulk substrate stink up the house?

[mycelian]

@mistermajestyck not at all. it's a soil smell, like earth, not anything like anything stinky :)

so after all this theyll start growing right

[mycelian]

@aaaaaaaaa000 there's a bit of a preparation process involved in growing mushrooms. After combining the colonized mushroom spawn from the glasses in the kitty litter bin coca coir stuff, the bin gets covered and put away in a closet for 10-15 days until it's completely colonized. Then once that's done it's put into fruiting mode and 10-14 days later the mushrooms are generally ready to be picked :) Takes a bit of time but worth it!!

What are spores im new to this

[RevisionGraphics]

nice name lol

@SlipAllCityToy Yes, some people find that they can steam the jars without one. It just takes about 90 minutes or so. A good pressure cooker starts at around $29 for a small one at kmart. Unless you steam manure in there, its still good for cooking in and meats come out great!

[SlipAllCityToy]

Is there a good way to grow without a pressure cooker?
