All good points Gary! Funny that you had this video come out, we're talking about the same topic on our Thursday live show. I appreciate your practical methods and your methodical approach to everything. You've really leveled up the videography game and I'm loving it. Makes it hard to work and listen to you though cause I keep wanting to watch instead.

I find invisible mushrooms are the easiest as they don’t require muchroom

[@jacobjamar]

[@polswep]

this video looks really good and is informational

[@yakivpopavich]

My question is how do you get plugged into the connections in regards to companies and businesses to purchase your mushrooms in bulk?. Once you are netting a certain yield is there some organization you apply to or something?.

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

we have a video coming out soon that addresses this topic but every client has pros and cons and the ideal time to seek out those types. there is a good sequence and it's best to naturally grow into larger clients as the business develops. For us, we started at a small local grocer, went to farmers markets, met chefs and small vendors, then took on larger clients. all stages have their challenges

[@Thekingoffungus]

What was your initial start-up cost when you first started?

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

I started as a hobbyist with just a tote and some grain spawn. The biggest investment before going commercial was the flow hood and then sterilizer. The rest of our equipment and space was accumulated over time

[@Thekingoffungus]

@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Thanks! That's how I plan on starting.

"the most common issue is contamination or everything else" 😂😂😂

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

a lot of people forget to account for failure early on which is why it’s important to start small
