But it does vary depending on the type of mushroom you are growing. With this tutorial I will show you a typical and easy way to grow Pearl Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). You Will need: Some kind of bucket or container - Typically a 5 gallon plastic pail is used. In this tutorial I use a 2 gallon plastic pail. The picture below shows my materials. If it is going to take a while to collect up your coffee grounds you can store them in the freezer so they won't get moldy. Fill your bucket about halfway with coffee grounds. There can be more and I will show you why in a minute. If your coffee grounds are dry you should add some water at this point and let the water drain out. Now break up the mushroom spawn and add it to your bucket.
If you have enough spore and coffee grounds fill the bucket up to within an inch of the top. This prevents carbon dioxide from building up on the surface. Grow Your Own Truffles.

The key to using an agar solution in cultivating mushrooms is sterility. Keeping the work surface and your hands clean and free of contaminants is the most important thing in using agar.

What are the additional advantages of using peroxide in mushroom cultivation? With peroxide, you can make sawdust spawn medium from wood pellet fuel with just a ten minute steaming, rather than pressure sterilization. This is one of the fastest methods of making mushroom spawn yet devised. The spawn can then be grown on a bookshelf in your home, rather than in a sterile laboratory. And, the amount of spawn you can make isn't limited by the size of your pressure cooker, since you can use any of a variety of large pots with fitted lids instead. With peroxide, you can prepare sawdust cultures without pressure sterilizing either the bulk substrate or the supplements.

Right now I am switching careers to become a secondary mathematics teacher. Our family dream is to move to Alaska in about three years, buy between five and ten acres of forested area and basically start a "perma-culture compound". Getting into mushrooming and mycology has given us so many cool tools to dream with. Between getting a new degree in math, and struggling with the crummy income of a musician...I am just too time, and financially strained to go roaming around getting the stuff I need to do a good shiitake TEK with sawdust.

I can't find a "phone book TEK" anywhere on the board...at least not yet anyway. So does anyone have any ideas on what I would need to do to complete the TEK? Alexis Williams wwff.
