Growing Mushrooms at Home from Scratch and Repurposed Plastic Container as Bulk Substrate Container!
This video is a continuation of the growing mushrooms at home from scratch series. Thankfully, I repurposed a plastic container as a bulk substrate container. Reduce, reuse, and recycle! I want to emphasize that growing mushrooms at home is extremely easy once you know what you are doing. A great place to start is learning about the growing process of mushrooms and go from there. Today I will be pasteurizing straw in my kitchen by heating it in water between 160-170 degree Fahrenheit for 1 hour. Then I will be inoculating the straw with some brown beach mushroom grain spawn that I made in a previous video. Here are the previous videos in this series:

I used a laminar flood to do my inoculation today but you could easily use a still air box (SAB) instead.
IMPORTANT thing to note that I didn't mention in the video is that the particle size of the bulk substrate is critical. I cut the straw into small pieces using a lawn mower, but I've also seen people use a weed whacker in a big bucket or barrel. You want the straw particles to be between 1 and 3 inches in length.
