Mushroom Growing

This section is dedicated to discussing a new project at Spring Valley Student Farm, growing edible mushrooms!

Methods of Mushroom Cultivation
Coffee ground cultivation:

Materials:

5 Gallon bucket

Coffee grounds

Drill with ~1/4" bit

Mushroom spores (in sawdust)

Spray bottle

Plastic wrap or permeable cloth/fabric

Plastic bags

1.) Collect 2.5 gallons worth of coffee grounds (if they are going to be collected over a few days or weeks place the grounds in plastic bags and put them in the fridge to avoid mold).

2.) Place the grounds into the bucket when you have enough and moisten them if they are dry (don't add too much water though!)

2.) Break up the sawdust/spores and mix with the top 1" of coffee grounds

3.) Drill holes 1"-2" above the coffee grounds and 3-5" apart

4.) Place plastic wrap over the top of the bucket and punch several holes into the plastic, Or a cloth if you have one

5.) Set the bucket in a warm dry place and mist with water as needed, try to avoid placing the bucket in areas where there might be mold growing already
