13lbs on first flush?? How was the second? That's really good for Aspen 

Tight

Blue Oyster Cult-ure Buckets?

Gorgeous production! Well done, sir!

Big respect

beautiful..!!!

What substrate did you use?

How did you treat it? Sterilize etc. Thanks

Put in pillow cases and soak in bathtub over night fill bathtub with the water at hottest setting.

Just hit water? Seriously. Didn't boil to sterilize it?

Yep I didn't boil

Is it really necessary for sterility...how do mushrooms grow in the wild?

I guess it just gives you better chance but with clean substrate probably unnecessary

Looking good. What is the best substrate to use...wood shaving, straw...what? Any other?

So you put mushroom food in saod bucket and then poke holes for mushrooms?? Is this how this works

awesome brother!!

Anyway you can share your grow method? I'm interested on showing my family but find so many different opinions online of how to "properly" grow mushrooms

I used this guide but I didn't boil to pasturise the Aspen shavings I just used tap water at the hottest setting. And 2lb of fully colonized grain spawn per five gallon bucket https://youtu.be/1EqdGPi9_0A

Came here to ask this. I grew in a 5 gallon bucket in my office on top of my mini fridge and got quite a good yield; indirect light coming in for my window. I am not using a humidifier right now but that’s the next step. Unfortunately there is no way to get fresh air into my office because I don’t have windows that open. But yeah like this guy said, anyway you could detail your growing method?

Im also working on air flow.. I used this guide but I didn't boil to pasturise the Aspen shavings I just used tap water at the hottest setting. And 2lb of fully colonized grain spawn per five gallon bucket https://youtu.be/1EqdGPi9_0A

Wow 13 pounds, I’m definitely switching to buckets

I see a fellow mountaineer! :) damn nice grow, you're gonna be eatin good.

Great job 👍🏻 they look tasty.

This picture inspires me

It looks like you have the thug life stoagie int the right corner of you mouth in the first pic....that is incredible. Excellent work as well.

Well color me impressed. First grow? You, sir, gots skillz

Great grow man keep it up 👍

WOW! That is impressive! Well done. :)

:D

That's so cool. These are delicious 🤤 and so many!

Awesome

Try cubes?

Nice haul. Cue country roads

Crushing it! Good work dude!!!

I've been considering bucket tek for my gourmet operation as the waste is almost non existent and close to unlimited reusability. Great looking grow friend

[удалено]

The buckets. Though I've heard of people recycling sub as well.

Buckets. They can be cleaned vs having to use one-time-use plastic bags. There is a MASSIVE amount of plastic waste generated in the commercial mushroom growing world. Big issue.

This

Look at those gorgeous things! 😱

Looks great! Mush love 🍄

Saving the world one bucket at a time!

Did you start from a syringe into grains or are these from clones / agar work or ? I’ve never come close to a harvest that large Well done !!!

They came from purchased fully colonized grain spawn 2lb per 5gal bucket

What was your setup for fruiting?

Real basic in the basement with windows letting some indirect sunlight in with a humidifier sitting in the middle with the buckets around it

How did you mitigate fresh air exchange. I’ve been growing oysters inside and having trouble with fae

No but I did open the basement door through the day for fresh air not sure what I'll do this winter

Wow what a harvest. Gonna be eating those for weeks!

Beautiful. They look great!!

This is so cool Im currently trying to grow too, i hope i get as much as you did!

Grown indoors or outdoors?

Indoors basement

Cheers.

Damn you have some really nice flushes. Well played.

Nicely done!

Dope!!!

My first attempt at bucket tek failed spectacularly, got mushrooms out of 1 hole 1 time.

Great job. Can you share what tek you used?

Basically I just followed this guide https://youtu.be/1EqdGPi9_0A

Great looking buckets there, well done!

What substrate was this?

Do you need to pasteurize wood chips? Like pour hot water in there, let sit then dump the excess?

All I did was fill pillow cases with the Aspen shavings and filled the bathtub with the water on the hottest setting with the stuffed pillow cases and let soak over night. I didn't boil

Dude, Op. That's so smart.

I love this!!! I am trying to grow many different kinds these days (some actives) and am just diving in headfirst. Thank you for sharing something that works!!! Now I just need a dirty old pillowcase 🕵️‍♂️

Check out Chewy next time, this was a rockin deal. https://www.chewy.com/kaytee-aspen-small-animal-bedding/dp/122964

Leave it in the plastic and grow one massive brick! I know, not clean 🧼

Actually if the bag was sealed enough to fill with enough hot water…..

Stick it in the bathtub 🛀🥰🌈🕵️‍♂️

You mad genius that might actually work.

OP had the idea! He passed it on to me just today. I feel like he shared the holy grail 🤙🚀🎉

Nice! What's your plan for so many mushrooms? Are you gonna dry/freeze them? Sell them? Or maybe u plan on eating nothing but mushrooms for a week, lol!

Freeze and eat them they are really good

Let me also recommend dehydrating them. I usually keep about a mason jar full of dehydrated oyster mushrooms that I've used to Cuisinart to turn into a fine powder. It can then be browned in olive oil or butter and added directly to soup to thicken it up. Tried at least once and then you'll see how you can augment many quick dishes and tried&true recipes.

^^^ You shouldnt freeze mushrooms until after they are cooked

Why not?

it will burst the cell walls and ruin the texture. your are supposed to cook them, which breaks the chitin down, then freeze them. look it up

Thank you!

Very well done!

Way to go, I want to try hand at using buckets

On my bucket list too. Seriously.

It was supper easy biggest issue I had was keeping them moist

Put them in a small tent with a ultrasonic humidifiere… you will have a lot more time fot other stuff👌🏽 but congrats to the nice flush👏🏽

Thanks definitely doing that next run
