hi
hello as some of you may know already that i recently have been to this webinar that
teaches me how to grow mushrooms at home and this video i will show you together
i mean i'll show you how to put together the kit that i have received from the webinar
and it's actually quite easy so i got this from the package that grows pearl oyster mushroom
and has got these paper pellets that literally is what people use for their cats' littering um
what do you call it tray i guess because i don't have a cat
um and then inside it has got these little things that is called mushrooms spaw?
SPAWNs. Which is like i guess the seeds for mushrooms um and some of like these
fungi already is forming and then they call it a nugget and you just have to
activate it i guess so first we need a bucket and then you squirt some dish soap in there
and add 900 milliliters of water and mix it a little bit
by putting soap in the water it raises the ph level
which helps to minimize the risk of contamination
you can also use hydrated lime instead but it's just easier to get my hands on the dish soap
and then you just open this bag
oh *woof* I forgot to wash my hands, I have to wash my hands
and now my hands are clean and we can put it ... hm, it smells weird
so in goes the nugget break it up a little bit
okay i've broken down these big pieces of the nuggets
and now i'll just chuck the rest of it in there
now i just have to put it back into this bag
uh and now we will use this marker/texta to poke six holes on the bag so that the
um stuff inside can get oxygen hmm how do i want this because eventually the mushrooms are gonna
grow out of the hole so i have to like position in a way that they can grow out of the hole
maybe this way so
one
and then now you would have to tape it over so that the stuff in the air doesn't get in
there and contaminated so we would now use this micropore tape to tape over the holes
ah uh oh it split.. try again! Yay, we will see if this is successful and i will get some mushrooms at the end
An update today is the 12th of October so it has been like three weeks i think um
the whole bag it's not fully colonized yet with like the white um what do you call it um
mycelium is the word i think but just now i was feeling this tape and underneath is
something bumpy and then you open it look at this tiny mushrooms coming out
i think i'll leave it open now and then hopefully in a week time i will have my mushroom
look at this so cute oh this is so exciting
this one i think i might just leave the rest a little bit for a little bit longer
It's two days after my last update which is today is the 14th of October and the mushrooms are growing
so rapidly look at these cuties so amazing and then i have activated another pack back there
so that when i ate this bag i will have another bag coming up
okay today is the 15th of october apparently some of my mushrooms
are already too old to be eaten i'm a little bit sad because it was so cool
to see them grow so quickly but you're supposed to harvest the mushrooms when the cap is flat
and if you wait till the cap flips up then they are already too old so i guess i was a bit greedy
in terms of waiting for them to grow bigger i guess they just won't um and
we have to harvest them now let's see just twist the bottom
okay so
that's my first bunch of mushroom i guess i'll have to do something with them tonight for dinner
it's just so cool
okay next! um i guess this would be perfect because it's flattened
but i guess i have to harvest them today as well or else they're just gonna start curling up
Ta-da! First harvest of the mushrooms i have one big handful of what is it pearl mushroom no pearl
oyster mushroom with garlic and salt pepper sesame oil and sesame seeds and mushroom udon noodles yes
meanwhile julius is trying to open the bottle of
kombucha and it was so carbonated that it just splashed everywhere oh you still haven't opened it
do it just do it oh maybe don't do it yeah you gotta do what you gotta do
and still going (Julius: Vooooolcano)
oh these things are passion fruit
