Pleurotus ostreatus first mushrooms Im growing
    #19078311 - 11/03/13 01:19 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

All I did was take a medium sized pan and some corrugated cardboard that still had some pieces of the face on them because I didn't put them in the microwave on some water to peel them, and a large piece of Oyster mushroom chopped up the whole thing and layered the cardboard i damped and after a couple layers added the mushroom pieces then on another layer I put the lilac spore print I made on paper. Its been in my pantry. 4 days. Already Im seeing mycelium! I heard they grow fast and Im a total newbie on cultivation. I have a couple questions for you guys. Im planning on doing agar next time and haven't decided on what mushroom I will grow next. Any suggestions are welcome. Ive seen some crazy grow threads here on oysters. Neat shit! Figured it wouldn't hurt to try;) the simplest method and I'm surprised. I guess life will find a way :wink: im looking for the simplest way to get fruits without having to spend much.
1. After the mycelium spreads all over the cardboard. Can I just set them a foot away from a window in my house or should I incubate them with one of the mini grow lights I have?
2. Its winter here and my house stays cold like 55-60 is this all the reason to build a habitat that is climate controlled? I thought about buying some growing supplies suggestions appreciated.
3. If the cardboard has the printed layer of the box attached would it guarantee contamination or be unsafe to eat mushrooms grown from it?

Wait... so you didnt pressure cook the cardboard in a jar or anything? Its hard to understand what you're saying with hardly any punctuation. Im sorry

And no, you cant just set it next to a window and expect it to grow.. A little more to this hobby than that.

You should have posted this in gourmet/edibles or whatever the forum is called.

1) after your cardboard colonizes try add woodchips or chopped straw or somethin
2) get a heater
3) your suppose to be using the currogated stuff inside the middle

Ok good info. Nope didnt sterilize sorry was just a fuck it moment. I dont plan to eat them actually. I was just curious what might happen. Ty guys. Im going to do one up right. I came into some money and would like to get a good setup. May even get plugs and start outdoor logs. I know they take a couple years to get fruiting.

research which substrates they preffer and once the cardboard colonizes add some pasturized substrate and hope to get lucky and if it contams just chuck it outside and maybe motjer nature will have your back. but maybe research agar or even just the brf agar sub if you wanna bettet success rates

Ok TY I will do that! My next thread will be after I buy a pressure cooker and spores and materials to build a micro habitat and glovebox :wink: i wanna do something cool just cant decide what yet. Im not allowed to do actives where im from so I will have to find a cool species I would like to photograph or something rare.

Yeah im amazed at all the awesome tips! Im thinking i want to grow lions mane, Maitake, lemony oysters, morels maybe yellow ones, truffles would be cool, Maybe Reishi, artists conks because I etch on them. I find enough but would be cool to customize grow some :wink: and Shitake.
Are any of these impossible to do inside or outside?
