  1. I could be wrong but I thought you were spreading hay while saying the hay wasn't a good fit for the mushroom. When you say straw are you referring to pine straw?

  2. Very nice video. Thank you for sharing the information.
    However, is it possible to indicate the ideal temperature, and moisture levels and how to deal with them once receiving heavy rainfall when growing them in the gardens with all your methods in the video?
    We have extreme high temperature started in June in Oklahoma (100 F and up the entire month) and heavy rainfalls sometimes.
    Also, can they survive through the ice and snow in the winter? Or we just have to regrow it every year?
    Thanks again for making such a great video!!

  3. If you had soaked that wood chips for some time, that would have ensured that room for the mycelium to move in. You can keep the logs soaked before you chip them.

  4. What about using rabbit manure or rabbit water on the top of it which I do that pretty much to all of my plants

  5. Thanks so much for the awesome video, really enjoy watching it, so the question is what’s the best time to put them down using your methods. Thanks again

  6. Hello 👋 do you think this will work in a hot humid environment (South Florida)? Thanks in advance.

  7. Can one use spores from store bought mushrooms to start their mushrooms. I'm elderly and living on a tight budget. I'd really appreciate your feedback.😉

  8. I love these ideas. Im trying to establish a food forest and that means a lot of mulching. Ive always wondered if you could grow mushrooms in that mulch. So cool! Until then i think its too hot and dry in my region.

  9. Thanks for the details for growing mushrooms in the veg garden. I've gardened for years and now will grow a new, nutritious crop between the veges. Can't stand the woman's creaky voice, but stuck with the video to the end as the info was so good.

  10. Today I decided to go and grow mushrooms in our gardenplot. I knew some information already but after seeing this amazing video, I'm even more exited about doing so! Love the video!

  11. this was an awesome video,thanks Quick question, when would you suggest putting spawn into the straw and wood chips for a colder weather variety here in the PNW, specifically NW Washington? would you pasteurize it first and what are the ideal conditions I'm shooting for? I definitely want to do some Oysters as well. just got my pressure cooker and I really want to be ready with the knowledge I need so I don't have to wait another year to start.

  12. Somehow she made picking mushrooms sexy. Great video! I know they are better for you cooked, but I always eat them uncooked.

  13. Will rice straw work for the straw methods, and would 3 year old pine chips work for the woodchip methods? Ive straw bale veggie gardened and have rice bales galore if I need them. They always go crazy with some sort of little ink cap when I first start. And being in NorCal, they've cut and chipped many trees on the property over the last few years so Ive had piles just out in the elements. I notice when I dig into them to use for the yard theyre pretty white and fungal in spots inside. Is there a better time to start? I'm in zone 9 (Nevada City CA) and the summers have been gnarly hot and dry for what I would consider mushroom conditions…but my property gets mushes galore and last year we notice HUGE oysters growing way up a dead willow snag. So glad to have found this vid and info!

  14. Is good to see your channels , it’s ezy to learn to follows your technique but how can we fine the mushroom do they have to sell in the stores or any website that can orders from please put more information on your channels thank you for sharing.

  15. I couldn’t wait until next year, till spring time come because I live in the Midwest so have to wait till spring that is time to start to do a gardens again but I just wander in the warm weather yea round like south west weather can this outdoor growth can we grown year round or not, first want to buy or to have mushrooms to get ready first, I am so excited thank you so much for your new research to show us .
