Growing mushrooms on toilet paper.

Good evening friends! How's everybody in this new year? I've tried to grow some mushrooms on toilet paper in large plastic, but ended up being spoiled. How can do it the right way? And how could I produce more mushrooms on toilet paper? Done it last month at a Christmas event at my community farm in my neighborhood and I enjoyed it. I'd like see how it's done. Please shoot me back if you need me. Take care.

Although I've never used this method, it sounds really simple and really fast compared to the log culture I normally do. In fact, I'm tempted to try this method myself after seeing how ridiculously easy it looks! Here's a really good video from Field & Forest on how to grow oyster mushrooms on toilet paper rolls:



Field & Forest sells their "TeePee Kits" for this method. One kit contains 7 filter patch bags, 2 lbs. Grey Dove Oyster spawn and rubber bands for $28. They've also got two other "TeePee"  kits.

As you can see, they use grain spawn. I would also use unbleached toilet paper. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Cool process! Where I get the bag and mushroom mix from? Could we find those at any store such as Home Depot or Ace? And do they have the large plastic bag as shown on YouTube? Thanks!

Field & Forest is from Wisconsin. I have used their spawn successfully for over 20 years and they are a great family-owned company. Here's a link to their TeePee Kits:

If you live in a different country, you could  order from a local grain spawn producer and use your own bags. Filter patch bags are sold by big mushroom grower supply houses or you can make your own. If you use grain spawn, be sure to keep it away from rodents, since they will do every thing they can to eat the spawn.

M.K! How are you? I'll check out Field And Forest for the mushroom mix. Do they accept PayPal as a source of payment? Thanks!

I'm doing fine!

I never use paypal- they're on my list of bad companies.

Just give Field And Forest a call tomorrow and they will answer your questions: 1 800 792-6220. They're open 8-4 M-F. They are helpful and informative.

Keep in mind that because of the "Polar Vortex" that is still stalled over the north central U.S., they might be reluctant to ship spawn right now. Good luck!
