In this video, Brian discusses commercial mushroom farm strategies for season extension, and a new mushroom sterilization design. In 2018, we will again be making a lot of changes to the company, and we now have the cash flow and experience to execute a strategy focused on profitability and production. Our business has always been experimental, meaning years of research and investment was necessary to achieve a successful outcome. Through innovation, hard work, patience and ingenuity we have achieved the impossible, and have built a successful seasonal mushroom farm that produces quality local mushrooms featured in the best restaurants throughout the Okanagan

WHAT THE FUNGUS hi brother..question..what are you gonna with those bags.after u harvested all mushrooms. ? Do u have any thoughts to get more profits out of its..including those contaminated.. With a new ideas you come up..I think. You still guessing or not sure %contamination. Which patches?.which room.& when it's happened? How many bags.?; Until week or 2 later..do u think eliminate most % risky contaminate more important than fastening line of products. .?no offense. Brother..but it's is..thanks for sharing all ur hard work & ideas...

Have you tried to put the fuel pellets through a shredder?

Hey! Heres some good advice on how to massively speed up your cool downs for a relatively cheap cost. run an inert sterile gas through the bottom of the tanks, like co2 or nitrogen. you could cool off a tank in 30 min to an hour. you could easily get gas tanks delivered on site. any questions on application ect let me know. Id be willing to help. I work with stainless reactor vessels both cooling and heating them.

[@whatthefungus]

dag gooder not sure it would cool the bags that fast... never heard of anyone doing this... very interesting idea

[@Fullautofreedom]

if you had injection port on the bags you could have an gas line umbilical leading to to core of each bag it would in those time frames. it would probably be a couple hours extra work to save 4 days of production time. I also believe they make inline sterilizers for air compressors and you could accomplish the same thing. but of course air doesnt have the cooling capacity of co2. although there would be less of a learning curve with just air. using co2 you could freeze the blocks solid in a hour.

[@Fullautofreedom]

also heres another idea. pull a partial vacuum on the sterilizer once its done. then you can vent in nitrogen back to atmospheric pressure, do that a few rounds and that will also cool everything off. pulling a vac first will force all the cold nitrogen deep into the bags, thus actually cooling the media

[@whatthefungus]

dag gooder vacuum would be risky. The sterilized substrate is at risk of contaminating during the cool down. Time and patience is still likely the best option. If my tanks were steamed pressure vessels your gas idea could likely work for sure

[@0ctivate]

What if you seal the bags before steaming then cut open in the lab? too much work? maybe could also pump hepa sterilized air into tanks to cool

[@0ctivate]

What is the advantage of colonizing bags inside? Is it just darkness? or is temp involved as well. Thank you.

Good work! .could a 200 square foot single fruit room produce enough yield per week to make a living? I'm green as cabbage when it comes to fungus :)

[@AB-um2dl]

Sam McCormack, very nice. It's looks fun just to watch :) I can see how people get hooked.

Some farmers would kill for the CO2 you are blowing out in to the air!!!
