In this video, Brian answers an email from a subscriber. Learn how to start selling your product to chefs. Brian goes over tips to selling mushrooms and the best ways to keep clients and grow your business.
Benjamin Crowther asks:
While you are learning and figuring out your consistency (before you bring on too many restaurant clients) what do you do with excess mushrooms? Is it all sold at markets, or do you sell mushrooms to fruit and veg stores when you have too much supply?

[@wisefool1111]

What are the laws and guidelines for operation? Could you do a video that explains health codes, zoning regulations. (If you don't already have a video for that.) I'm contemplating on starting up. Thanks

[@denisedejean1309]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I really enjoy them! Great information and advice all the time.

[@lakecitymortgage7847]

What varieties do you grow and sell?

[@Ucodia]

Your channel is outstanding, thank you so much for sharing your work! Another interesting question would be how do you set the price with clients?

[@freichttrainarchtt]

You're a legend brother, thank you for this info! ! !

[@carlostimon1]

Thanks for the video! Keep the good work and the good info going! Love the music on ur videos... In this one just the bassline! I'm a real noob on the mushroom growing but I love to learn and keep growing!

[@seaak6346]

I am hooked on your videos. I binge watched you today like netflix

[@TomHutchinson5]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are giving back as others have done before you. We really appreciate it.

[@Jonah_Krsna_47]

Dude the intro had me laughing 😂😂

[@zStickyTreeFrog]

impressive work thanks for the knowledge

[@phil9715]

Hey there, really liked the video :) The idea of independence with something you love to work on inspired me now for a while. Though it is a lot of fun it takes also a lot of time, a question That urged me: Especially you are now at a point where upscaling is a good possibility. At what point and how would you do it? What way would you take for passive income without the exchange of time for money? Best regards dude :)

[@bethanys6782]

Very helpful thank you

[@josi0405]

Thank you so much for this video. Amazing!

[@jesseknox9322]

You create your boards? That's pretty awesome! Do you do your own lumber due to cheapness of the boards or is it difficult to bring in the materials? I really enjoy your videos and this one was wonderful thanks for the awesome content!

[@whatthefungus]

Jesse Knox we make our own lumber because we can and have the equipment

[@aliceswonderland7503]

Hey Brian. How do you select and approach restaurants you don't know? I have been struggling to sell it to restaurants, out of every 10 restaurants I visit I get one buying and most likely they won't call back to ask for more. I'm sure quality, freshness and boxing/packaging is not the problem. I started approaching the restaurants by simply showing up, most of them simply despised me as for them I'm just another guy trying to sell them something. So I changed strategy and start calling to see if they wanted me to pass by and show the product, got I little better but still sucks. I live in a 3 million people city and can't sell more than 15lbs a week. I would love to know how do you guys sell it that easily and in those volumes.

[@jasonkelley6114]

Give it to them for free

[@andrewbaldwin3358]

Do we need a sellers permit?

[@jcapdevila]

Great video keep em coming!

[@yarpemningshen2370]

What type of mushrooms that restaurants demand

[@proteintornadoblender2129]

Oysters are popular right now

[@bbonander1234]

Getting ready for the upcoming first growing season would you recommend putting feelers out there to restaurants to see if they are interested in your crop even if they wouldn't be ready for 3+ months? I feel like it could be beneficial to get an idea of how many pounds weekly to aim for.

[@whatthefungus]

you just do not want to over promise and under deliver. If there is no competition in your area then you should have no problem picking up clients

[@jerryspencer2811]

Thanks for the video it's very helpful and I can't wait to see the video you mentioned your other viewer suggested. The question I have is what equipment do you use to make your lumber and am I able to make 2x6's with pine trees? I'm a new viewer and subscriber so if you've made a video already point me in the right direction please lol. Thanks again brother and I'm glad you are prosperous😊

[@whatthefungus]

Jerry Spencer we have a Lucas Mill

[@whatthefungus]

[@justincurrie8143]

Is there no-one who can plane your shelving? (smooth them) it would save a lot of money.

[@whatthefungus]

Justin Currie shelving for 1200 bags is about $800

[@johnsansome3435]
