How much does a low tech mushroom farm cost? | GroCycle 

I have spent months researching into how to grow mushrooms and discovered a fantastic resource at gregs mushroom grower (google it if you are interested)

Where are you located?

Thank u so much. It's very informative to start a livelihood program for the Seniors Citizens in our City.

@@abdoughost5754 QqQ

@@obviouslytwo4u If that happens I want to be announced :))

Same to you

Hows the grow going?

Hello, please can we be friends

musta from Olangapo

Cumbria uk?

That is the difference between the mushroom community and everything else, we share this knowledge because it's not only profitable but it's very medicinal aswell, and tons of many other reasons tht is the beauty about the mushroom community tho

Not like it's secret information.

Hey I I'll refer you to were I got mine. they're super reliable and ship directly to any location

They're on Instagram and telegram as

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

That's knowledge people pay a lot money for 😉

For me I just use straw. I think I will add soy hulls to my substrate after this

@@abdulhamid2369 what do you mean can you explain what media is required for growing mushrooms.

@@worldstarepic9942 straw.. with added hulls

Wood chips. Hay. There's a lot of other options and you can sterilize them easily.

@@prachetasnayse9709 pasteurize?

@@NihilisticHatred Same shit. The substrate needs to be sterile.

@@prachetasnayse9709 sounds like splitting hairs. Until you've sterilize something that can handle only pasteurization and you waste weeks and money like I did 20 years ago once.

@@prachetasnayse9709 No, it's not the "same shit" . That's why it's two different processes depending on which substrate you use.

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.

look up uncle ben tec on reddit :)

Yes! Its called RU-vid

Check out@scott_fordd on instagram.he literally grows shrooms and sell refine DMT and LSD and weed ..he gets your orders discreetly delivered to any location..

I think try to work with an existing delivery scheme given the current situation with Covid19. You might well get some strange responses otherwise...

Asian restaurants tend to like oyster mushrooms, at least here in the states.

Any hardwood should yield results. Jarrah and red gum both should give growth

@@karterrook7373 Sure, but which one has a higher yield ?

Any tips or advise would be really appreciated

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.

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

@@kaorumugen991 Id love to learn how to make extracts and stuff

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! :)

Always start small. It's better to give up on a 10k$ failure than a 100k$ one if something goes wrong.

With certain substrate mediums you can get by with just pasteurization

With a pressure cooker you can sterilize grain jars easily

@@BrogCanadian ........

High nutrient like grain need pressure cooker. Lower class like cardboard and straw better on lime because cheaper i think

@@mwa5704 its far more sterile youve got your answer....

both have their own place. and serve different purposes.

Could you give details. Is it profitable?

Yes. 30-40 kgs a day is a huge amount

How much is that in us$

@@mithu59 Was profitable untill hit by Corona!! Need a tremendous amount of dedication. Its like taking care of a baby..!!

Where in India are you based? I am interested to start my own too.. Can you kindly share details thank you 😌

WarPig1379 Thanks a lot :))

No problem, they definitely make life a little easier

Just don't use straw, stay away from straw, it's horrible to work with. Use sawdust/hardwood pellets.
