Thank you.
You can place the bucket with holes into a bucket without holes for the colonization. Blocks light and minimizes O2. Once it's ready to fruit, pull the bucket with holes out of the other bucket and set it in the fruiting environment.
Thanks for all the helpful info!!!
WISH YOU BOTH A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
EXCELLENT EDUCATIVE VIDEO.
THANKS FOR THIS.

When Fruiting in a bucket or a bag, which method produces the best clusters if the bag and/or bucket capacity is comparable?
Cover the holes with micropore tape to keep the humidity in and contamination out. Remove it when colonisation is done.
Does anyone have an opinion or data on the yield of this method vs the yield of grow bags methods (either sawdust or sawdust+soy hulls)?
I have grown mushrooms in bucket like this and it works flawlessly.
Thank you for sharing this
You want the water to be 70°C AFTER you put the substrate in, otherwise the contaminants aren't really seeing much less soaking in that temp.
I did this similar with same size holes.
I would suggest smaller holes so the chance removing subszrate when harvesting is smaller
Please, do a video or blog on how to fruit mushrooms in a bottle or jar? I'd like to grow on a smaller scale. Can straw be used to grow mushroom in a jar?
What about using straw pellets?
I love what you guys are doing, more power to you all at grocycle!❤
Don't you have contamination problems with this low time/temperature sterilisation/pasteurisation of the wheat straws? it's because you don't use any supplement? Did you stopped using coffee ground? thank you 🙂
wow, relly simple and looks easy, thank you 🙂
