When I decided to try and grow edible mushrooms from wild oyster mushrooms that I found in the yard, I really didn't expect it to work. That's one of the reasons I decided to go cheap on it, using nothing but old cardboard and a couple of ziplock bags. Well, my wild oyster mushroom experiment has been more successful than I had anticipated! I ended up with quite a bit of mycelial growth on my little cardboard pieces. After some research, I have decided that I would like a larger sample of cardboard spawn to play with before I begin trying to grow any actual mushrooms. This is my attempt at breaking up the original cardboard spawn and using it to make even more. Once I have enough, I will start looking at my options for a good fruiting substrate for these oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Thanks for watching, and I hope to see you next time for more Daily Sustainable Living! ************************************************************************************ If you missed the first video where I successfully started my cardboard spawn from wild oyster mushrooms that I found in my back yard, be sure to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTJqpuler-s&t=49s ************************************************************************************ Interested in seeing more from the Sustainably Yours Homestead?

Did you know that there is a trick to freezing squash? This is how we freeze our pre-battered squash so we can enjoy fried squash all winter long. #Shedwars21 #Shedwars #TeamWillItGrow #ShedwarsGardening Check Us Out On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sustainably-Yours-Homestead-417473462430857/ Music: Grass by Silent Partner: https://youtu.be/VlohuOGWzG8 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgAD5oQ0_3Q

It's been a little while since I've had a chance to really work on a video. Things have been SUPER busy since school started back, so the three day labor day weekend was much welcomed! I was able to get a few thing done around the house that I have been needing to do. This video is just a quick update about several things that I had kind of left hanging. ENJOY!
