I like hearing the stories of what worked and what didn't. Those are very helpful. Great video.

[@markspath]

You know these videos will be good to teach the new staffs. Good content as always!

[@rashoietolan3047]

These videos serve well as promo, public education, and employee training 🤝

[@macrosense]

The photo montage at the end is a nice touch

[@Aquavidify]

Mike you made that bag folding look a lot easier than it is!

[@goatrock123]

Just my opinion. This is best shroom education anywhere.

[@Frankiebonez337]

Looking good mushroom Mike! I like seeing your personality come out bro don't hold back

[@sonpham8761]

Great to see more of the crew behind the scenes of the mushroom magic!

[@hungarianmushroomfarmer3670]

I finally saw you really smile. This video was full of life. Thank you h uploaded, it was really good to see.

[@SaraRae2Yu]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. I do so enjoy seeing all that goes into producing the beautiful mushrooms you grow there. Also, you do a wonderful job in explaining all that goes on in the different processes. Thanks again!

[@Australien8]

Awesome video!! Would love to see more of you're whole crew working together! So wholesome.

I love your channel so much. The clarity that goes into breaking down the whole process is amazing!

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Thanks for the tour... I used to have a cement mixer for mixing soils... sold it when I moved... Now I have another reason to get a new one.. lol :) cheers!

[@RuthlynWills]

I just love watching your videos, thanks for sharing your life's passion... I was never into mushrooms (don't like the texture in my mouth) but you caught me GOOD when in a video you mentioned putting them into bread... I'm deeply into making sourdough bread and I'm ALWAYS on the hunt for variations to recipes for my clients or just to try out something new 🤗... again thanks soooooo much and lots of love from Trinidad and Tobago 🥰

[@triple_gem_shining]

Rad to see this part of the process. Learning mycologist here 🙏

[@yearofthegarden]

ha I always like to see how other people do the mundane parts of mushroom production. makes me appreciate my mixer and bagger, and makes me want to do a batch for once in my life, thought I'm jelly you have access to soyhulls

good to see you have help with all that this time !!

[@SO-ro5gr]

I just started some gourmet. I think watching these vids helped.

Bro idk if you’ll ever see this comment but you used to come into my place of work for Cheese Veggie sandwiches all the time.. I’m a blonde dude with glasses. I was just scrolling through my KZbin feed and recognized you immediately. Stoked to see you’re killin it bro!

[@XroorX]

@3:50 mark, you need 36” clearance for the “knife” or breaker disconnect for the sawdust/water mixer, mounted on the wall. The table and scale presently located there will prohibit an emergency shut off.

[@Paintingtube]

Awesome team work 👍🏼

[@meh4748]

Looks like your living your dreams man hopefully one day I can be as big as you and we can all prosper in this community 🤙🤙

[@nee3029]

For anyone who is wondering what they use as a funnel when bottling. You have to look for a suction hood, which you can find at Ventilation accessories or welding accessories. There are different sizes and shapes.

[@jcims]

Just look for duct reducers at Home Depot or Lowes. Most will be round at top but they may have some 'transition' pieces as well to go from square to round. Self tapping screw into some pvc and you're set.

[@gardnzr]

Thanks for posting all these videos. Really inspiring.

[@Abundnce10]

I love hearing about your original process before moving into a warehouse. Did you use a normal pressure cooker to sterilize the 10lb plastic bags? How much did it cost to upgrade to the industrial sterilizer that you're using now??

[@senadeva8457]

Very interesting to see this process

[@joeyricefried9621]

What an awesome work environment!!

[@MycoTrophic]

I’d give up everything to move to AZ and work with this team.

You rock. Tight work! Super appreciate sharing your POV, respect

[@nos3575]

Ya'll should add some sort of guard to the top of mixer or a emergency shut off thats close by in case someone gets pulled into the machine

[@samb4733]

Thank you for the humble knowledge

[@CTEM]

Mush thanks for all the videos

[@topfeedcoco]

I really dig your setup and everything brother. I would advise some extra precautions be paid with your mixing situation however. Homie with the long hair there or anyone with loose clothing or just hands and arms could easily get caught in the agitator and have real issues in fractions of a second. A lid with a trough in it for filling kind of thing might save an arm or a life.

[@akselakesson9796]

Could you link where you get your growbags from? 😊

[@andrew1717xx]

I come for the A-1 mushroom content.

[@catshannon7196]

Thanks for the video but I have a question. What do you do with those bags when they are already harvested? Do you just throw them away or recycle?

[@Green-Dean]

where do you buy your block foliage bags?

[@joshuafreeman6720]

What size bags are those for the 10 pound blocks

[@ns8158]

I live in Michigan but this lowkey makes me want to move, lol. Looks like a great place to work/great team! I'll be working on starting some lion's mane on my own soon at least - thanks in large part to these videos too I might add!

[@cybertones942]

Moved the mixer I think. just got done watching video of the mixing you did solo

[@seanshiels153]

Hello Mike from Ireland. I'm a big fan of your videos. I am hoping to ask you a question about the hydro tents you use. Do you have water run onto the floor from condensation on the walls of the tent due to the high humidity environment? Or are the tent floors also waterproof and not just reliant on the WP floor insert that usually comes with hydro tents? Thanks for all your inspirational videos

[@siliuksas2533]

It seems I have the same issue in Ireland, with condensation.

[@alexnoman1498]

In his cleaning video he references how, why and humidity of the tents, the brand is Gorilla Grow afaik.

[@nielvanzyl]

Loving all the videos that you-guys are sharing, thank you!! What is the exact size of the bags that you use?

[@omkarbabuk9511]

Hi Mike.. Really a good job Man. Planning to start one on small scale in India. Do you supply spawn?

Great work! Do you use that horizontal autoclave (model STS-1) 6:00 and is it worth it?

[@pinky882]

Homie has a mycological black belt.

[@MagikFredo]

Hello, thanks for all your work. With what could i substitute Soy bean? The point is to bring Nitrogen and "Sugar" (glucose) in the substrate?

[@CriticoolHit]

A place I would literally pay to work at.

[@mike_lives]

Whats the hvac duct piece for filling bags called? I tried finding it at the home depot and no luck

[@anjarautnig1944]

Which bags do you use?

[@daved2403]

I was doing some research on moisture content and some web sites say it should be 50% to 70%, which seems like a large range. I did a batch recently where it was close to 70% and I still couldn't squeeze any water out. Does it matter the type of substrate in terms of what field capacity might be? Also do certain mushrooms like more or less moisture? Thanks

[@guanxinated]

How much are the oak pellets? I'm thinking of entering the shiitake business in a couple of years, but so far, hardwood pellets seem to be prohibitively expensive...

[@papasmurf3529]

Cool stuff! Do you think magnets would help keep the rim of the bags lined up with the metal chute while filling? Nice use of air duct metal and PVC XD

[@kylewalter6714]

Awesome video! Are you sterilizing your substrate and not pasteurizing? If so why or why not?

[@millieloves2]

I would love to work here

[@vedantshelke8981]

You had masters in mycology

[@67healthwellness9]

What is the brand of the sterilizer you use?

[@jamesedwards6416]

Very knowledgeable .. with your knowledge what can you tell some of us about morel mushrooms .. and if you've ever talked about them can you point me towards the video .. please and thanks ..

[@gigimikabadze8296]

Can you tell more about humidifer machine? How to assemble a similar one?

[@cakopinolo]

Bro that metal pice u use in your bagfuller wht its is???

[@2HighNoon]

My grain spawn comes today :)

[@danstankiewicz8222]

I would be interested to learn if you can recycle your substrate after the the final blooms? In other words, what happens to the substrate after it is used?

[@donhynes7630]

Is there a reason you don't seal the bags before sterilization?

[@themyceliumnetwork]

where can I get the specs for the substrate filling stands ?

[@bandanahanna]

Wholesome A F!

[@harryallen4222]

anyone know where to find the metal part of the funnel used to make scooping into bags easier? UK based

[@bobbyhockey93]

are you dude that did militaris first? how do you do your militaris?

[@adeptuspsyconautica]

Hey Michael, I am in Brazil, we do not have Oak, birchwood, or any of the woods you guys use. We have eucalyptus, hay and soybean hulls as waste, what do you know about eucalyptus sawdust?

[@bobbyhockey93]

how do you source your wood? i almost want to run micro trees, to plane them, the give the microbes to the spot to break down the dense roots. at least you know its a clean as your standards are before you autoclave or pressure cook whatever, i do want reshi.
