Grow Mushrooms with Alex

Fruiting #chestnutmushrooms #enoki and #kingoystermushroom from bags of rice - this is the technique for top-fruiting mushrooms (including healing 🍄). See my last video for side fruited like #blueoystermushrooms and #lionsmane 1) Tear off tops of colonised bags of rice (see previous reels on how to inoculate and colonise) 2) Fill with water and soak for 2 hours 3) Drain and massage the tops of the bags to flatten them out. 4) Add a small layer of mushroom substrate or ‘soil’. Check out previous reels on how to make this. 5) put into fruiting conditions. Stay tuned to see how it goes! Thanks @mycopunks for the lively liquid cultures! #homegrownmushrooms #easygrow #mushrooms🍄

Growing #blueoystermushrooms and #lionsmane mushrooms straight from bags of shop-bought rice! These were inoculated just over two weeks ago using the #unclebenstek method. Thanks @90secondmycology for this excellent method, and @mycopunks for the banging liquid cultures. This is the method for side-pinning mushrooms. For mushrooms that grow on flat surfaces, stay tuned for future videos fruiting #enoki #kingoyster #chestnutmushrooms straight from the bag! 1) take colonised bag (watch previous videos on how to get to this stage) and cut a small X in the side with a clean blade. 2) put bags in a container of clean water to rehydrate for around 2 hours. 3) drain and put into fruiting conditions. Stay tuned for more on fruiting - and to see how my experiment goes! #lowtech #keepitsimple #mushrooms🍄 #homegrownisbest

Research is consistently suggesting that m*gic mushrooms can help in treating anxiety, treatment-resistant depression and even addiction recovery. So why are they still illegal in many places?
