Hey there I do use organic seeds. But the seeds you need are of the giant variety. Like with pumpkin for instance Atlantic giant would be a good one. Buy seed from growers who have grown massive veg. That way you will also have the genetic viability in the seeds.
Hope that helped 😉

How do you get so many worms

I do, but I usually keep them in a dark place. I do not use giant puffballs for this though. I just buy the mix. I do try to grow them ones in a wile in some cow manure. But it is very much hit and miss 🙂

I noticed you had a Mason type jar with a special lid for your puffball spores. Do you store the spores year round in that jar? I’m asking because we have some puffballs that “bloom” in the fall and I would like to try your technique next year. Thanks for all of your great videos, too!

I see. Yes! Thank you. It was in a Jiffy Pot. Now I feel bad that I tossed out the poor “fun-guy” (fungi) lol! Thank you for the insight. I won’t panic the next time I see another fungus growing near my veggies. Thank you again!

Hey there 🙂 80% of all plants form a symbioses with fungi. So generally there is nothing to worry about. If the fungi is on a wooden pot then it is eating your pot, that’s all. Even if it were to be a harmful fungi, it would have done the damage already as the mushroom you see is only the fruiting body. The large part of the fungi is in the ground. With lots of fungal strands going through the soil.
Hope that helped you. If not let me know.

Awesome vid! I do have a question. Are all fungi good for plants? Cause I recently discovered a tiny thin stem with a spider-web top that appears to be a type of fungi on one of my pots and I was worried it might kill my seedlings in the pot. I’ve looked online but was not able to find it to recognize as a good or bad thing. So I removed it as a precaution. So my question again is, are all fungi good for plants? Or are there only specific varieties?

No as it is anti bacterial. Honey would hinder the growing microbes 🙂

Hey that is great. Me too. We must exchange after the year, so the seeds get more adaptable. 🙂 All the best David.

Thanks,
It is a great way to get bigger veg. Please do note though, that the spores you need are the ones you can buy over the internet.
As you might have to otherwise make a mix of several different kinds of mushrooms yourself.
I am going to work on that soon.
Thanks for your comment,
Best wishes David.
