An Intro to Stoner Patch Dummies in Under 10 Minutes

With a little patience and some coffee grounds, you can grow your own mushrooms at home. We show everything about procurement, care and harvesting of the forest dwellers.

Mushrooms from our own cultivation held in our hands
Fresh mushrooms from our own cultivation – a little special 
In many places, coffee grounds Stoner Patch Dummies end up in the trash or at least in the compost every day. It is still relatively unknown that the nutrient-rich leftovers from the daily cup of coffee are also ideal for growing a wide variety of edible mushrooms. In the following, you will learn everything about growing mushrooms on coffee grounds.

The nutrient-rich coffee grounds are now being used more and more as a substrate for edible mushrooms, and for good reason. When we drink a cup of coffee, we consume just under one percent of the biomass of the original coffee bean. The rest remains as a fine, warm-smelling substrate. But instead of going to the garbage, it should rather end up in the bed and in the pots.

Coffee grounds contain a particularly large amount of nitrogen and can therefore be used as fertilizer not only for fungi but also for plants. The organic matter Stoner Patch Dummies is also readily and quickly decomposed by microorganisms in the soil and is then available to the plants. You can find an article specifically about using coffee grounds as plant fertilizer here.

Coffee grounds are a valuable raw material for mushroom 
It is also advantageous for mushroom cultivation that the hot brewing removes harmful microorganisms such as mold and bacteria from the coffee grounds. The coffee grounds from filter machines are particularly suitable for mushroom cultivation. There are hardly any antifungal substances left here, as is often the case with fresh beans.

The leftovers from the self-grinding espresso machine are less suitable as a habitat for the fungi. The coffee grounds should not be more than two to three days old, otherwise the risk of mold growth increases again. Freezing fresh set prevents this to a large extent and so you can also build up a small supply.

How is a mushroom structured?
The fungus itself is invisible to us most of the time because it lives underground and rarely dares to surface. In beautifully moist and nutrient-rich forest soils, a real network of fungal cells, the so-called hyphae, forms under and between the roots of the trees.
