== The Growing Process == | |||
There are numerous ways to successfully grow oyster and shiitake mushrooms, all of which share the same basic steps and principles. More details on each point is below. | |||
*Creating a growing environment; humidity is key, temperature seems important as well. It also needs to reduce the risk of contamination from alien bacteria. | |||
*Getting spores (several methods: ) | |||
*Preparing the growing medium (several methods: ). Needs to be sterilized! | |||
*Inoculation of spores into the growing medium. | |||
*Maintaining conditions for growth in the growing environment (several methods: ) | |||
*Optional: Stopping the process and turning the mycelim populated medium into a kit that is "hibernated" | |||

Morten contacted Rikke from Tastebridge about coffeegrounds preparation. Here's what she said: | |||
<blockquote>From the few images I posted to Google+ at the time, it looks as though the pressured cooked, non-supplemented batch did best, i.e. colonized the medium fastest (which is good, because faster colonization means lower risk of contamination by bacterial and other fungal competitors).</blockquote> | |||
