This channel is everything I’ve been trying to figure out for years now and because of you guys my dreams can finally come true. I had a good plan but it had many holes and bugs in it that are completely fixed by gro cycle. Thank you so much please never stop!!

[@hirutzuwad1756]

Same to you

[@Thingsyourollup]

Thank you for giving good info on costs. I dabbled a bit in growing some mushrooms at home a few years back, and while I found the initial process to be a lot of work with all the cleaning and sanitizing and growing your cultures, once that is out of the way it was a total joy to watch the mycelia grow every day and colonize the substrate, and its just super rewarding when you get your first pin set. A long standing dream of mine has been to start an all-encompasing farm, growing standard veggies like tomatoes and herbs and lettuce and such, but also expanding upon that and growing using aquaponics where appropriate, a section for vermiculture and composting, a section for mushrooms. The startup cost to do it all will be high, however mushrooms and vermiculture might be the perfect starting places.

[@0hopscotch0]

Thank you for the information . With limited space how to start out is what was preventing me from getting ball rolling. I appreciate you for it.

incredibly cut and concise material, perfectly condensed knowledge. well done!

I'm certain my daughter buys your fungi from a farm shop near Totnes. I've a space on my 14 acre holding in Cumbria, where I really want to grow both culinary and medicinal fungi for personal use, then expand the culinary side out to supply my local gastropubs and restraunts. I'm on the learning curve thanks to you guys 👍

Thanks so much for the clear advice and analyses. Let me know if you’d like a “busman’s” holiday in Hawaii in 2023 to advise on a set up using old shipping containers!

[@razzlebazzle420]

Set them up like a hazmat area. Plastic sheeting, tape, one to scrub up, mask up, get your lab coat on, and plastic tunnels running between separated by heavy plastic flaps. Run a humidifier, heater, and air purifier in each. Sounds like you're 50% of the way there by having an actual structure. You'd need maybe 6, substrate storage, sterilisation, spawning, mixing, fruiting, and processing. Obviously depends on the scale, you might be able to do all your spawning on a worktop in the kitchen haha

[@celestineopara1960]

How can I buy mushroom seedlings. I live in Abuja Nigeria

[@weasel9062]

We could use more suppliers of lions mane, corydeceps, and reishi in many places around the world.

[@kaorumugen991]

If you're talking about fresh fruiting bodies, it's easy to see why there isn't more supply - they're not mainstream culinary mushrooms, there's simply not enough stable demand to support consistent production. Dried, powdered, or liquid extracts of species like those are far more viable from a business perspective, which is why there's actually plenty of suppliers of them, in that form.

[@RuKuaj]

For lion's mane, alot of the benefits are better if from the mycelium rather the fruit

There are studies on light effects on mushrooms you can go read. Blacklight has been tested on them too. There really isn't anything you can think of that hasn't been tested with mushrooms. If your light isn't putting out Kelvin's it's useless. Stay on the blue side of the spectrum.

[@sunburntsatan6475]

Hello! If you're still looking for some info, maybe I can be of help? It will depend on your species, but generally rye berries are a great spawn material. Soak them for 12-24 hours (not longer if you can avoid it, might sprout them) and simmer them for like 10 minutes. If rye is too expensive you can use wheat berries for similar effect! If you can get some sort of sealable plastic bag (like a vacuum bag or something similar) put your grains in there, put some high temp silicone gasket maker (www.walmart.com/ip/Permatex-High-Temp-Red-RTV-Silicone-Gasket-Maker-75152/16879904) in a little circle and let it dry for 12-24 hours. Then put it in a pressure cooker (if you have access to one). This is the easiest way to sterilize it! It can be a bit of a barrier to entry, but you can get a cheap instant pot or any kind of pressure cooker. If you don't have bags, a mason jar works just the same! Hopefully this helps someone! :)
