Growing Mushrooms From Used Coffee Grounds

It has been 18 days since I started the 2 jars of mycelium on the middle which are becoming colonized nicely.  The jar on the far right is at days ten which is also grey oyster mushrooms.  The jar on the far left is on day 3 and is either a king oyster or and Italian oyster.  I picked them up at a different supermarket then I bought the grey oysters at.  The mushroom company that those came from is called Song's Mushroom Farm.  I tried to call there to find out what strain they are but just got an answering machine.  Here's a photo of the new strain:

I went through 2 boxes of oysters at the store and only found 1 with a stem butt that wasn't cut off.  I bought 2 others that were cut but looked as though there was some mycelium near the bottom.  It may take longer for these to take off since there was not much to work with.  It looks like 4 weeks are needed to produce a full jar that is totally colonized.  If you would like to see my "how to" video, it is posted below.

I'll be adding a section for growing mushrooms to this website as soon as I have completed the tutorial videos.  Stay tuned!
