She read <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/196974\/mycelium-running-by-paul-stamets\/9781580085793\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mycelium Running: How mushrooms can help save the world<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Paul Stamats, which spotlights the benefits mushrooms bring to the environment and ecology. She became fascinated with the role mushrooms play in agriculture and in ecology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey are really multifaceted and play a huge role in our ecological economy, and that\u2019s why I was drawn to them. They are able to help the soil, and heal the earth through mycoremediation,\u201d says Ellis referring to a form of bioremediation that uses fungi to clean the soil. The relationship between plants and mushrooms are symbiotic.

She attended <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midhudsonmyco.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-Hudson Mycological Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meetings. She collected everything she could find about mushrooms\u2014articles, books and media posts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She started wondering how mushrooms could fit in with farming as livelihood and began considering it in the grand scope of being a farmer. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By late 2018 she committed to making cultivating oyster mushrooms her focus this growing season.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8716\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic5.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8716\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic5.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A whiteboard with Nailah\u2019s collection of articles, photos, and illustrations about mushrooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Growing mushrooms<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In launching the mushroom project, Ellis immersed herself in workshops, talks and books (she has an ever-growing library), and she is mostly self-taught. She started by researching varieties of mushrooms. She chose the Djamor (pink) oyster mushroom and Pleurotus citrinopileatus (golden) oyster mushroom because they thrive in warm weather and sync well with the summer season in the Northeast. The mushrooms also lend themselves well to many culinary preparations. They are known for their meaty texture and easily adopt the flavors of the aromatics, herbs, and spices they are cooked with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the process of inoculation (mixing spawn with the substrate) to harvest can be quick compared to most crops (in this case 5 or 6 days), the steps and tools required are precise. Light, temperature, and humidity are essential when it comes to growing stellar mushrooms. Ellis built two small greenhouses within a greenhouse. The first is an incubation chamber that is darkened, and the second tent a fruiting chamber that allows naturally light to flow through where the mushrooms sprout and are harvested.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other essential tools were a Humidistat (a humidity controller) that connects with the Hydrofogger Humidifier. Mushrooms thrive on humidity and ideal temperature. The incubation room needs to be 80 percent humidity and temperatures need to be between 65 degrees and 85 degrees in both tents. Success hinges on a delicate balance of oxygen level. The level of oxygen is purposefully decreased in the incubation chamber and stepped up in the fruiting chamber since it triggers the mycelium to produce mushrooms.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8713\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8713\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8713\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Straw is prepped for the polypropylene plastic bags.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Problem solving<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ellis was met early on with a challenge of how to pasteurize the straw effectively and within a budget. She was limited with the kind of equipment she could buy. A solution was to build a metal basket to hold the pasteurized straw, which would serve as a base to be mixed with the spawn. After the straw is packed into the basket it is lowered into water that has been heated to 170 degrees.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She built the table where the straw would fall from the metal basket and be mixed with the spawn. She purchased bags of certified organic mushroom grain spawn from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldforest.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Field &amp; Forest Products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this case, Ellis used straw as a substrate, which is the substance upon which the mycelium grows.&nbsp; The substrate depending on the kind of mushroom being grown can include everything from wood chips and saw dust to logs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The straw was previously chopped and baled in preparation for pasteurization. She slit holes in the polypropylene plastic bags giving space for the mushrooms to grow. Then<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;she layered each bag lasagna fashion with one layer of spawn and the next of straw, so the mycelium <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has easier access to the nutrition-enriched substrate.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8714\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8714\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Polypropylene plastic bags are layered with straw and mushroom spawn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bags were placed in the dark tent for 10 to 13 days before being moved to the fruiting chamber where the harvest occurs. Most bags explode with mushrooms after five days, and by the sixth day they are ready for harvest.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ellis estimates she can pack 30 bags in a day with every bag of spawn creating up to 17 bags when combined with the straw. Every bag can generate dozens of mushrooms. In between inoculating and harvesting, Ellis can be found in the greenhouse buried in books and articles about mushroom growing. In the greenhouse there is also a large white board that is telling of her passion. On there is an ever-growing collage of cut out articles about mushrooms, drawings, photos and renderings of mushrooms. On a pink Post-it there are the words, \u201cMillennial Pink,\u201d a color made popular through social media and pop culture.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was added bonus that they (the mushrooms) were a vibrant color,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8715\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8715\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&nbsp;Dozens of pink Djamor mushrooms burst from the bags.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>First harvest<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the second week of June Ellis was busy harvesting mushrooms. She picked off the layers of mushrooms that had burst through the plastic slits. The ideal Djamor mushroom is a deep pink and palm-sized with wavy edges that curl down. Less ideal are the ones with the caps that are curled up. Many of Ellis\u2019s mushrooms were bright pink and palm sized.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strawberries also continue to play a critical role Ellis\u2019 learning and experimenting. On the ground in the greenhouse is a makeshift garden, where Ellis is growing strawberries and wine cap mushrooms side by side to see whether they thrive when grown in tandem. This is part of Ellis\u2019 exploration into intercropping, which involves planting complementary plant species in close proximity with one another for a synergistic effect. Considering most fruit don\u2019t like to have their soil distracted, Ellis is interested in what effects one has on the other and vice versa. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mushroom project will run through October with Ellis\u2019s planning to inoculate on a weekly basis. As the weather cools, she plans to shift to cooler varieties of oyster mushrooms.<\/span><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A greater question, especially considering the flush of mushrooms, is what is next.

Ellis oficialmente comenz\u00f3 a cultivar setas la primavera pasada, eligiendo cultivar setas de ostra como su proyecto clave este a\u00f1o.&nbsp; Esta es la primera vez que se cosechan setas en Farm Hub y, para Ellis, es un cambio notable del proyecto del a\u00f1o pasado de cultivar fresas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El cultivo de setas lleg\u00f3 a Ellis mientras buscaba un nuevo proyecto para esta temporada de crecimiento.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ella estuvo en una ponencia en Stone Barns Center for Food &amp; Agriculture de William Padilla-Brown, mic\u00f3logo y editor colaborador de FUNGI Magazine, quien habl\u00f3 sobre el reto de cultivar <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mushroom-appreciation.com\/cordyceps-sinensis.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">setas Cordyceps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> y sus propiedades gen\u00e9ticas adaptativas. &#8220;Creo que eso despert\u00f3 mi inter\u00e9s&#8221;, recuerda Ellis.

Comenz\u00f3 investigando variedades de setas. Eligi\u00f3 la seta de ostra Djamor (rosa) y la seta de ostra Pleurotus citrinopileatus (oro) porque prosperan en climas c\u00e1lidos y se sincronizan bien con la temporada de verano en el noreste. Las setas tambi\u00e9n se prestan bien para muchas preparaciones culinarias. Son conocidas por su textura carnosa y adoptan f\u00e1cilmente los sabores de arom\u00e1ticas, hierbas y especias con las que se cocinan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aunque el proceso de inoculaci\u00f3n (mezclar semillas con sustrato) para cosechar puede ser r\u00e1pido en comparaci\u00f3n con la mayor\u00eda de los cultivos (en este caso 5 o 6 d\u00edas), los pasos y las herramientas requeridas son precisos. La luz, la temperatura y la humedad son esenciales cuando se trata de cultivar setas estelares. Ellis construy\u00f3 dos peque\u00f1os invernaderos dentro de un invernadero. El primero es una c\u00e1mara de incubaci\u00f3n al oscuro y el segundo, una carpa, es una c\u00e1mara de fructificaci\u00f3n que permite que la luz natural fluya a trav\u00e9s de donde brotan las setas y se cosechan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otras herramientas esenciales fueron un Humidistat (un controlador de humedad) que se conecta con el humidificador Hydrofogger. Las setas prosperan en la humedad y la temperatura ideal. La sala de incubaci\u00f3n debe tener 80 por ciento de humedad y las temperaturas deben estar entre 65 y 85 grados en ambas carpas. El \u00e9xito depende de un delicado equilibrio del nivel de ox\u00edgeno. El nivel de ox\u00edgeno se reduce deliberadamente en la c\u00e1mara de incubaci\u00f3n y se intensifica en la c\u00e1mara de fructificaci\u00f3n, ya que activa el micelio para producir las setas.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8713-2\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8713-2\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8713\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic4.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8713-2\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparaci\u00f3n de la paja para las bolsas de pl\u00e1stico de polipropileno<\/span><\/i>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Soluci\u00f3n de problemas<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ellis se encontr\u00f3 desde el principio con un desaf\u00edo de c\u00f3mo pasteurizar la paja eficazmente sin salirse de un presupuesto. Hab\u00eda limitaciones en cuanto al tipo de equipo que pod\u00eda comprar. Una soluci\u00f3n era construir una cesta de metal para sostener la paja pasteurizada, que serv\u00eda como base para ser mezclada con los engendros. Una vez se met\u00eda la paja en la cesta, se pon\u00eda en agua calentada a 170 grados.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construy\u00f3 la mesa donde la paja cae de la canasta de metal y se mezcla con las&nbsp; semillas. Compr\u00f3 bolsas de granos de semillas de setas certificadas org\u00e1nicas de <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldforest.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Field &amp; Forest Products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. En este caso, Ellis utiliz\u00f3 la paja como sustrato, que es la sustancia sobre la cual crece el micelio.&nbsp;El sustrato, dependiendo del tipo de seta que se cultiva, puede incluir de todo, desde virutas de madera y aserr\u00edn hasta troncos.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La paja fue previamente picada y embalada en preparaci\u00f3n para la pasteurizaci\u00f3n. Ella cort\u00f3 agujeros en las bolsas de pl\u00e1stico de polipropileno, creando un espacio donde las setas pudieran crecer. Luego hizo capas de bolsas, una encima de la otra como si fuera una lasa\u00f1a, con una capa de semillas y la siguiente de paja, de esa manera el micelio tiene mejor acceso al sustrato rico en nutrientes.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8714-2\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8714-2\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8714\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8714-2\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las bolsas de pl\u00e1stico de polipropileno est\u00e1n en capas con paja y semillas de setas<\/span><\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las bolsas fueron colocadas en la carpa oscura de 10 a 13 d\u00edas antes de ser trasladadas a la c\u00e1mara de fructificaci\u00f3n donde se produce la cosecha. La mayor\u00eda de las bolsas explotan con setas despu\u00e9s de cinco d\u00edas y, para el sexto d\u00eda, est\u00e1n listas para la cosecha.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ellis estima que puede empacar 30 bolsas al d\u00eda, y cada bolsa de semillas crea alrededor de 17 bolsas cuando se combina con la paja. Cada bolsa puede generar docenas de setas. Entre la inoculaci\u00f3n y la cosecha, pueden encontrar a Ellis sumergida en libros y art\u00edculos sobre el cultivo de setas. En el invernadero tambi\u00e9n hay una pizarra grande que nos muestra su pasi\u00f3n. All\u00ed adentro hay un collage en constante crecimiento de recortes de art\u00edculos sobre setas, dibujos, fotos y representaciones de setas. En un Post-it rosa est\u00e1n las palabras, &#8220;Millennial Pink&#8221;, un color popular en las redes sociales y la cultura pop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Fue un bono adicional que ellas (las setas) tuvieran un color vibrante&#8221;, dice.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8715-2\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8715-2\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8715\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Pic2.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8715-2\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decenas de setas djamor rosas estallaron de las bolsas.<\/span><\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Primera cosecha<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Para la segunda semana de junio, Ellis estaba ocupada cosechando setas. Ella tom\u00f3 las capas de setas que hab\u00edan estallado a trav\u00e9s de los hoyos en el pl\u00e1stico. La seta djamor ideal es de un rosa profundo y del tama\u00f1o de la palma de la mano, con bordes ondulados que se curvan hacia abajo. Menos ideales son las que tienen gorras que se curvan hacia arriba. Muchas de las setas de Ellis eran de color rosa brillante y del tama\u00f1o de la palma de la mano.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las fresas todav\u00eda juegan un&nbsp; papel cr\u00edtico en el aprendizaje y la experimentaci\u00f3n de Ellis. En el suelo del invernadero hay un jard\u00edn improvisado, donde Ellis cultiva fresas y setas bruja marr\u00f3n (que en ingl\u00e9s se conocen como setas de tapa de vino) lado a lado para ver si prosperan cuando se cultivan al mismo tiempo. Esto es parte de la exploraci\u00f3n de Ellis en el intercultivo, que implica la plantaci\u00f3n de especies vegetales complementarias en estrecha proximidad entre s\u00ed para ver si hay un efecto sin\u00e9rgico. Teniendo en cuenta que a la mayor\u00eda de las frutas no les gusta tener su suelo distra\u00eddo, Ellis est\u00e1 interesada en los efectos que el uno tiene en el otro y viceversa.&nbsp;El proyecto de setas se extender\u00e1 hasta octubre con la planificaci\u00f3n de Ellis de inocular semanalmente. A medida que el clima se enfr\u00ede, piensa cambiar a variedades de setas de ostra que prosperen en climas m\u00e1s fr\u00edos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otra pregunta importante que considerar, especialmente teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de setas, es cu\u00e1l es el pr\u00f3ximo paso.
