In this cool weather, you can easily grow clean mushrooms at home using coffee grounds. Here, we can apply this to shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms (also known as seafood mushrooms),... First, pour coffee grounds into plastic barrels, buckets, pots, or various types of wide-mouthed bottles (glass, ceramic,...).

Separate the mushroom stem and roots, divide the root system into small parts, mix evenly with the grounds, then lightly press down with your hands. Use transparent plastic bags to cover the substrate opening, and poke a few small holes on top. Once the mushrooms start to sprout, remove this covering bag. Place the substrate in a location with minimal light and wind; mushrooms prefer low humidity, between 13 - 18 degrees Celsius. Remove the bag cover daily to spray mist twice a day. Within 1 - 2 weeks (depending on the type), mushrooms will begin to grow.
Prepare the materials and meticulously follow each step.

Finally, there's the method of growing mushrooms in non-woven bags with mushroom spawn readily available on the market. The spawn is a pre-inoculated substrate block containing mushroom mycelium; simply spraying water will initiate mushroom growth. The spawn contains all the necessary components for mushroom development. The advantage of this method is its affordability, ranging from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of Vietnamese dong for common mushroom varieties. Such as: gray oyster mushrooms, white oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, lingzhi mushrooms,...

The mushroom spawn should be placed in a shaded but well-ventilated area with sufficient humidity. Excessive sunlight and wind will quickly dehydrate, so avoid placing them on the rooftop. You can place them indoors, under the floor, or hang them high to save space and grow many bags at once. If desired, you can use a bamboo knife to cut a few lines on the bag. Additionally, remember to regularly water to create optimal conditions for rapid and abundant mushroom growth. With this method, we can harvest results within just 2 weeks.
