I am SO excited to see you all doing this content. I love mushrooms like a hobbit.
Costco had this pack of 6 types of mushrooms and I bought like 2 dozen packs and made multiple mushroom stews and froze them for the winter. I have tried to grow them before with kits from North Spore but nothing grew so I gave up. Probably bad spores, I don't know (the spores weren't from North Spore. I'd love to try again - trying to grow trumpets. I also ate Chantarelles recently, my new favorite, but from what I understand those can't be cultivated. They're SO good though. Morels too. So hard to find locally and I know they are not successful being grown domestically sadly!

I love how incredibly informative this was!
You can tell they really do care about mushrooms and how to grow them. I really appreciate the use of an older crockpot. It definitely gave me vibes of the crockpot being thrifted to use specifically for wax, instead of going out and buying a brand new one. Better for our environment to thrift!
I also appreciate how they mentioned to use the left over stump for mushroom growing, to kinda give back to the land for taking the tree.
I’ve seen this company on my FB for YEARS and I’ve always wanted to buy from them, but now I REALLY appreciate them as a company.
Thanks for the insightful video!

Great video. I need to grow mushrooms again. My climate pretty much always has high humidity and I've never had to do any spraying or special treatment. .
My garden and wild field are full of hundreds of different types of fungi, some edible. So I like the certainty of buying in ready made substrate. I highly doubt I could get anywhere on my old farmhouse property to be sterile enough to make clean substrate to grow up from cultures.
But I have a perfect climate for mushrooms. I'm missing out when I don't grow them.

I have a question about growing mushrooms outside. What if unknown varieties/species start growing along with the species you started in the logs I have a bunch of logs outside of my house, laying on the ground, that I use for bon fires. I have seen all sorts of different kind of mushrooms growing naturally out of them. Does inoculating the entire log like shown in the video keep other species from growing and taking over

Wow! What an impressive and super clean facility! I knew this place was serious the moment you walked in because all the worker's outdoor shoes were sitting under a bench. My jaw dropped when I heard the autoclave also functioned as a clean room pass through. Super cool! Also - using a pipette to add substrate to the logs seems so innovative to me because I'd never think to use one outside of the lab.

I purchased a Lion's Mane grow bag from one of the vendors at our local farmers market. The coolest room in our place is my bedroom. The vendor did not have instructions to hand out; but, he told me basically how to get them to grow. I cut a slit in the bag and put it in a 5 gallon bucket. I sprayed the inside of the bucket almost every day. By the end of two weeks, I was harvesting mushrooms.

Chicken of the Woods, my husband found a giant one growing on a tree on our property. Never had one, so we made sure it wasn't the poisonous look alike and ate it, for days, it was so big.
It is so tasty and dense, you could seriously substitute it for any meal with crumbled or shredded meat and carnivores wouldn't know the difference

This was so cool! I have a question regarding the logs. I’ve heard conflicting info about whether you should use brand new logs or older logs (specifically for oaks. I have live oaks surrounding my yard and they drop limbs all the time. Are those ok to use for maybe shiitakes Sometimes they may drop because they are dying a bit.

Watching that arborist was like watching an artist. His cuts dropped the tree into the thick branches, and he used them to hold the log while he cut it into pieces of a particular size without moving it. 3 cuts The economy of motion was gorgeous. I love efficiency.

I'm a carpenter by trade. I don't understand why he starts the drill off the wood. I believe there may be some confusion, most tools that's correct, never start a tool touching the material, but that isn't true with a drill. Also a paddle bit would probably be faster.

That was a blast to watch. This seals the deal for me, I'll be buying some Wine Caps thru Epic Gardening in the weeks ahead. Have to prep the small shady part of my garden first tho'. Thanks Jacques and thanks to Louis as well; I really learned a lot. Cheers.

I'm so glad they're covering this because I absolutely love mushrooms. It's just been intimidating to grow them because I live in a sunny AND dry climate. Would love to try varieties I can't buy from the stores and also compare my homegrown ones from store bought.

I love mushrooms and I love foraging and growing them, but I struggle to get blocks and kits to grow. There are just too many wild fungi species around, and the house is moldy and mildewy, and those end up competing with my cultivated mushrooms.

I was happy to learn Maple is a good candidate for shiitake inoculation. I just cut down a tree from between the houses and kept it for mushrooms but I think it might be too thin. It’s probably about 3 inches wide. I’m still going to try

I just LOVED this. I have been trying to grow winecaps here - but my warm season is just too short, I think. Also, pill bugs too rampant and eating the young pins before they can mature. That said - I haven't given up yet!

WOW, what an epic NorthSpore factory/farm tour, of such a low to hi-tech set up and awesome tutorial of log grows. A seriously impressive video. I'm jaw dropped at the scale of the NS operation. Mush Love from UK.

Hey, I’m not sure if you guys are aware but I just got a short that I thought was from Epic Gardening but it was actually from this account called Your Future Garden. But it has videos with Eric in it.

Great video. Very informative. I grew wine cap, lions mane and oyster this year. I have been wanting to grow shiitake and now I am going to. Do I wait until spring (Chicago zone 6)

This was so interesting. I cannot even believe their facility. Amazing Jacques your face just lights up, listening to this guy. I can’t wait to see what you do in your garden.

What an informative video! When we cut down some of our oak branches and place them along our garden paths, mushrooms appear on the Oak logs over time.
