California Farm Mushrooms on Coffee Grounds

You can get fabulous indoor mushroom growing kits on the internet now, chockfull of white mycellium strings, feeding on………used coffee grounds! I have been growing oyster mushrooms from a kit, and feeding it daily coffee grounds, and found out I can get a second crop of mushrooms that way, two months after harvesting the first crop.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 people

Cooking time :

10 day growing cycle, half hour cook

pearl oyster mushroom kit containing 700 grams coffee grounds and mushroom strands

60 grams

leftover ground organic coffee bean grounds, added daily

squirts Daily room temperature water spray on mushrooms, spores and grounds

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Grow the mushrooms, harvest, make the recipes in here. Open the growbag per instructions. Open the top and bottom of the box, stretch out the growbag. Make an extra slit on top of the growbag to add the coffee grounds, add water, I add 60 grams used coffee grounds daily. Collect any spores dropping from the gills underneath the mushrooms and mix with the coffee grounds.

* Step 2

Get the kit. Follow instructions, water daily, add daily coffee grounds to the growbag. Collect the spores from the mushrooms, they fall from the gills, mix with the fresh coffee grounds, water. When the mushrooms are ripe and harvested, you might get more for free, if they feed on your added coffee grounds. Might take a while, but fun to try!

* Step 3

Cut the top and bottom of carton grow box, pull grow bag out, make slit to add used coffee grounds to the bag, daily. Water and wait till the coffee grounds turns white from the new mushroom roots.

* Step 4

Day 1, day 5 and day 6 of activation of the grow kit. Cut slits in plastic top of growth kit to water the white mycellium roots of the mushrooms. Add used coffee grounds and water, laying down on kitchen counter in light but no direct sun. On day 6 you can see the start of pinhead clusters developing.

* Step 5

Day 7 and day 8 of growing oyster mushrooms on the kitchen counter top. You can now see the stems and the caps. Spray daily with water.

* Step 6

Day 9 and 10 of the oyster mushrooms: the gills are dropping spores for the next crop. Mix with coffee grounds for the next harvest. Spray with water. The oyster mushroom harvest weighted 230 grams, 8+ ounces, 3 cups, with lots of small starting new mushrooms at their base. Sliced and sauteed in olive oil with unsalted butter, nothing else, they made three ample appetizers and tasted delicious.

* Step 7

Update: April 18, after 45 days, we have another crop of oyster mushrooms! It started 36 days after adding black coffee grounds, they started to turn white from the mushroom mycellium roots. New mushrooms were sprouting on the edge between old and new nutrients! See picture below. Just spray water daily.
