    The document provides instructions for easily growing oyster mushrooms using coffee grounds. It is a 6 step process: 1) Collect fresh coffee grounds from a local cafe, 2) Inoculate the grounds with oyster mushroom spawn at a 10% ratio, 3) Incubate the growing bags for 2-3 weeks until fully colonized, 4) Place bags in indirect light and spray with water daily for fruiting, 5) Harvest when mushroom caps flatten by twisting or cutting, and 6) Soak bags overnight after 2 days of harvesting to encourage a second crop. The process turns coffee waste into an easy way to cultivate mushrooms with no special equipment needed.

    Growing

    Oyster
    Mushrooms
    In Coffee
    w w w.g r o cyc l e .c o m
    Are you thinking about growing mushrooms but you are
    not sure where to start? Mushroom growing is often seen
    as a complex process. But in my experience, anyone can
    learn to do it pretty easily if they choose the right meth-
    ods.

    I’ve spent the last 10 years focussed on finding the easiest


    ‘low-tech’ ways to cultivate mushrooms. And one of those
    ways is to grow mushrooms on coffee waste.

    Here’s your Step by Step Checklist for doing this too.

    Happy Growing!

    Adam Sayner
    step1
    Collect Fresh
    Coffee Grounds
    Leave a bucket/bin with your local cafe and collect the next day
    Use it for growing mushrooms whilst still fresh (within 24 hours
    of brewing) Espresso grounds are best, filter or cafetiere coffee is
    often too wet.

    Weigh your coffee grounds & add:

    Pasteurised straw or hydrated
    Oyster mushroom spawn sawdust pellets (20% of coffee
    (10% of coffee weight) weight) Mix together well and
    place into growing bags

    I n c u b at e g r o w i n g
    bags for 2-3 weeks
    Leave your grow bags in a warm (20-24C) and dark place. Check
    every few days to see the white mycelium starting to grow across
    the coffee. After 2-3 weeks your bags should be fully colonised
    and bright white.

    Now for the moment you’ve really been waiting for!

    Cut 2-5cm hole in your grow bag

    Place in a shaded spot with some indirect light


    (Oyster mushrooms need some light to grow properly)

    Spray with water each day Mushrooms will begin to start growing in
    around 5-10 days

    Keep spraying regularly for another 5-7 days as they double in size each
    day

    step5
    Harvest!
    When the top of the caps begin to flatten out it’s time for
    harvest Twist the cluster off of cut with a knife

    Cook them up and enjoy the satisfaction of eating mushrooms


    grown from coffee waste (no, they don’t taste of coffee!)

    After 2 days, submerge your bag in water overnight to


    rehydrate the substrate

    Then spray daily to encourage the 2nd crop to grow
