I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with BPD. Spent my whole life fighting BPD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@MuratBasar-jm9lc]

Psilocybin is so misunderstood and underrated in the psychiatric world. So glad your mom introduced this healing g modality to you!Thanks for talking about this.

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

You're living the life mate! This is the stuff my dreams are made of! The experimentation is likely the most exciting part of cultivation! Wished I had the ability to do so, I certainly have the aptitude but yeah, life just won't allow for it at present... Anyway, keep up the epic work, particularly in inspiring others to get involved, it's so incredibly rewarding! PS. producing spawn is not always time consuming, with some thriving Liquid Culture and grain buffered with coffee (instant or ground) and gypsum powder, you're looking at 100% colonization at about the 2-3 week mark when kept in the ideal conditions. LC for the win. I swear by the stuff! Spores just take too long but are if course a great option for long-term storage. Another tip I picked up for super fast colonization / propagation is to let either core cuttings, spores or LC mycelium grow out on agar and then squirt distilled water into the dish, give it a good shake, suck it all up and squirt that solution into your LC. You'll have so much mycelium you wont know how to use it all =D

[@subramaniampalghatbalasubr3208]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Just putting a summary for time pinched people. But I recommend watching the whole thing for full context. 1) You can grow in non-sterilized medium/substrate, done waste time on sterilization. Learn about pre-sterilized substrate like coffee grounds 2) Its easier to buy spawn/spores from a supplier rather than growing yourself 3) Growling Mushrooms at scale is really labor intensive, not like hobby growing. So start at lower scale 20kg/week and see if you can scale up 4) Selling food can be more difficult than growing it. Difficult to get a market so get buyers lined up before growing. 5) Its difficult to grow mushrooms as a full time business. Need to augment with other businesses like mushroom kits, courses etc

I wondered about the sterilization aspect because when mushrooms grow in nature there is no sterilization. Thanks :-)

[@GroCycleTV]

yes, good question, this is something people often wonder about...in nature, there are also billions upon billions of mushrooms spores, only a few of which land in favourable conditions and outcompete other organisms and go on to grow to maturity. So when people first tried to master the cultivation of mushrooms they worked out you can make it much more reliable by sterilising the substrate to remove all competing organisms. It works well, but we found over time you can also make it work reliably in non-sterile or semi-sterile conditions as well. Check out our video on the history of mushroom cultivation if it's of interest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naWQkICjmbB0jKM

[@GooseDave]

@@GroCycleTV thanks - I would be worrying about other spores from dangerous, but similar looking mushrooms colonizing or is it the case that using spawn stage media in the substrate means that the head start it has, eliminates all possibility of spores of another type taking hold? More of a problem when creating your own spawn, I guess.

Mushrooms can be very profitable depending on where you live. I started up in Vietnam and Bali. Growing Oysyers and snails on small 1 acre lots. I found the best places were to upscale or medium upscale buffets. Especially to like these big fancy hotel buffets. They would pretty much buy everything. Plus labor is cheaper so I just watches the operation. Gave me more time to shake hands and take samples to smaller places with a chef I had hired to do demonstrations on the product.

[@luvinlayers]

May I just say that I am in total sync with you. Ok, I'm now 68 and you look a lot younger and have the opportunity (time wise) to achieve your goals. I was very impressed by your video, not just because you seem to have sorted your business out to a large degree), but because you have shared it with others, giving them a chance to judge for themselves whether to get involved in a venture such as this, whereas otherwise they would not have felt it possible to advance to the beginning. From personal experience, I spent most of my childhood on a farm, both horticultural and agricultural, and since about 40 years ago have been trying to get back into that lifestyle. As the years have passed, I have found that sheep run faster than me, as does my wife, digging has become more strenuous, and the prospect of farming has become more remote. I now live on a busy main road which is a great opportunity for me to sell produce on the roadside. I would really like some more detailed advice as to how to produce mushrooms from scratch. If this is not available from you, then I can fully understand, and I wish you well with your endeavours. Warmest regards

[@whoisdingusstinkfinger8976]

Considering getting into the business and this was exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!

[@frederikdupreez6700]

As a designer of mushroom cultivation environmental conditions I agree with your comments about marketing. However, if you succeed in establishing the market the hobby turns into an all absorbing 24/7 beast where you are not allowed to make one error in the six week growth cycle (white mushrooms). To be able to supply mushrooms on a regular basis you need crops in all stages of production otherwise one week there just are no mushrooms to supply your customers. You are also correct in buying spawn - to create and maintain sterile conditions is very, very difficult not only from the environmental aspects, but due to people management. The main reason for sterilization of substrate is to ensure a consistent end product. It can be achieved by fermentation, autoclave or rinsing in hydrogen peroxide. Any sterilization process adds to the production cycle and therefore to the costs. You are also correct about labour. The minding of the growing rooms temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and air velocity during the various stages of the cycle is labour intensive. The picking and packing is also labour intensive. The often overseen problem of lots of labour in a growing room is that the room needs extra cleaning due to the intense occupation. Commercial mushroom growing is an established venture. However, the smallest commercial farm I have seen growing white mushrooms have a capacity of 600 kg/week. Smaller is OK for speciality mushrooms like shittake, oysters and others. The market shrinks for specialities, but unfortunately the production cycle is still there as explained above.

We got three crops all together and the mushrooms (oyster) were delicious. Now the pack is in the garden, under a tree and I'm hoping something will happen there.

[@h3lblad3]

Because you don't want mold growing on and around your mushrooms or bugs in the soil from hatching and eating them. They may survive fine, but you don't know what else is in it.

[@jorgemagana5497]

They may grow on the wild just fine with the sole purpose of surviving and reproducing but we sterilize the substrate so that the mushroom we intend to grow does not have any competition brought by other contaminant microorganisms. Simply put, the less contamination you have, the more fruiting bodies (edible part of mushrooms) you get because the mycelium is focusing all its energy in reproducing and not in fighting off competitors.

Great advice, i have a small scale mushroom farmthat produces 60lb a week on full, what i like about being small is the low overhead, and I can turn down the volume when sales are slow, while other farmers have to keep full throttle because their overhead or investment debt dictates it. I also have a salad farm, microgreen farm, and do other vegetables, so mushrooms is 1/3 of my overall income. I do plan on tripling my production, but am slow and designing ways to remove 10-30minutes of labor in as many of the processes as I can before completing my expansion.

I appreciate your honesty when explaining everything you have learned from your experience growing mushrooms. I have a fairly large space on my property that was used in the past as a small factory and I also have an opportunity to purchase 6 acres of land next to my property. Because of this I have been searching for the best uses of that limited space. I also live in zone 5a area which can get pretty cold. My research as to what may be the best crop to grow has brought me to you. After watching this video I am wondering if you could explain to me more the portion where you explain the difficulty in growing mushrooms as a full time business. It seems as if you are saying that the production of mushroom is not enough and that there must be a specific number in terms of production amount that must be hit before making a profit that would make it worth pursuing as a business. If certain types of mushrooms are in high demand and fetch a high price then why would that not be enough to make a full time income? I do plan on growing bush mushrooms and micro greens based on your other videos but since I am still in the decision making process I would like to have a clear idea if I am making the right decision on what crop to grow before I pull the trigger.

Watching this as my first kit is wrapping up, truly inspired to continue through into hobby level production. Cheers 🍄

Your honest info probably just saved me from falling into that same rabbit hole! Thanks!!!

Kind of makes me feel like growing mushrooms. Not sure why KZbin suggested this but it was nice. Thank you.

This is practical and honest. Thank you for being real

The presentation is informative and realistic for prospective mushroom producers regardless of size of proposed farms. I have certainly learned alot from it.

Brilliant! This information is particularly useful for any small scale or home based business. I have had some of the same struggles as s soap maker. Luckily I have a little time to get my products to my sellers. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to get produce sold consistently. Great info and presentation! 🍎Jen
