I tried this with king Oyster mushrooms last week, mycelium has started running so hopefully more King Oyster’s.
Love reading your blog!!

How about indirect light? You don’t mention that or how far into the process you should introduce it to light, but i have seen it before. Can you keep the mycelium dormant or somehow keep it alive so the cycle can be continued forever? How would that work? I think this is awesome. Thank you, Todd.

This should work with non-organic mushrooms. You will get non-organic results, however. Oysters are the easiest. The requirements for other mushroom varieties are very specific and do not lend themselves to simple bucket production.

Thanks for sharing this technique! I’m going to try it this weekend. Do you need to use organic mushrooms or will all mushrooms sprout? Can you use other types of mushroom?
