5.0 out of 5 stars I am the first?!? Hard to believe but awesome!!, January 19, 2008

This review is from: Let's Grow Mushrooms! (DVD)

To any budding mycologist: Consider these videos required material. Buy them at the same time or even before you purchase your brown rice flour, grain, jars, or pressure cooker. These guys show you almost everything you need to know when it comes to growing mushrooms...almost any kind. They show how to collect spore prints, make syringes, inoculate jars, spawn to bulk substrate, clone, work with grain and agar, and so much more. The videos do not spend much time on fruiting parameters because these are species specific and vary quite a lot.

For info regarding species specific fruiting parameters head on over to The Shroomery(google) and ask roger rabbit and roadkill yourself.

This review is from: Let's Grow Mushrooms! (DVD)

Wow, it's a no-brainer to give 5 stars to this 2 DVD set!

I had previously purchased a copy of Paul Stamets "The Mushroom Cultivator", so this time I ordered "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms" and the "Let's Grow Mushrooms" 2 DVD set by Marc R Keith at the same time. I really like the straightforward approach to teaching how to grow and cultivate mushrooms that is presented in this instructional DVD.

"Let's Grow Mushrooms" skips all the technical/scientific jargon about pleurocystidia, basidium, cheilocystidia, etc., which is all great to know for us mycology geeks, but is really confusing and completely unnecessary for beginning growers who just want to get started learning how to grow mushrooms at home. "Let's Grow Mushrooms" begins and ends with specific hands-on video demonstrations of extremely easy to follow techniques that will have you starting to grow mushrooms the very day you receive your DVD, using materials readily available from your local grocery store or nursery.

Detailed video techniques on using brown rice as both a spawn and substrate open the DVD, and it then progresses from there through the production of grain spawn, growing mushrooms on straw, manure, sawdust/woodchips, and finally finishing up on disk 2 with the more advanced techniques you'll use later on to isolate strains, and also to isolate healthy mycelium from contaminants on agar. All techniques are presented in a clear, visual format, and the music, pictures, and graphics are first-rate quality.

If you've been lost trying to figure out exactly what steps you need to perform to cultivate mushrooms at home, or if you're a visual learner, this 2 DVD set is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes growing mushrooms easy!, May 27, 2008

This review is from: Let's Grow Mushrooms! (DVD)

The video is great. Anyone interested in or growing mushrooms of all kinds should have it. It made the process of growing P. Ostreatus "oyster mushrooms" from a test tube culture alot easier and funner for me. From start to finish and beyond Marc's way of explaining things is priceless. He makes it easy to understand the more technical steps that are sometimes less well explained elsewhere. Also, he provides many good tips that you don't get from some of the books. If he makes another video or book...I'll buy it!
