Building Mushroom Beds in the Woods (Wine Caps, Oysters & More)

Mushroom beds from the ground up in the woods. We begin by clearing a path, pre-soaking straw, and layering straw and wood chips to create a healthy substrate for mushroom growth. We then evenly spread sawdust spawn throughout the bed, followed by additional layers of straw and wood chips before watering everything in thoroughly.

These beds are tucked under a tree canopy to maintain moisture and provide the shaded conditions mushrooms prefer. We’re growing multiple varieties, including Wine Cap, Italian Oyster, Pink Oyster, and Nameko mushrooms, and now the waiting begins as the mycelium establishes and prepares to fruit.

This is part of our ongoing forest farming and mushroom-growing journey, where we work with the natural landscape to grow food sustainably.
