    Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

      I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them
      again, either. I wish there was a good,
      organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

    This is a very nice set up! The right way! Buttttt I was doing 35-50kg per week in my small basement for under 750 bucks, had to stop due to family issues but you can most deffinetly do this for a budget, home made flowhood for 50$, know it sounds too good to be real but I had 14 restaurants and 4 different farmers markets I supplied, us did a lot off business on etsy for extracts and dried product, was selling about 25-35kg per week on average but produced 40-50kg just incase, it's my true passion and learned all my work from mossy creek mushroom, one day I will be growing again, Mush love yall!

      But actually, if he had any hidden motivation, it would be to discourage competition by presenting higher costs, not lower(which would be the case if he was selling growing equipment, for example). I agree it's honest, but be clear on reasons why he'd try to be honest- not strictly out of the goodness of his heart.♥

    ATTENTION: As mentioned by user Jaeson Barnard, these costs are to setup an operation that can grow 30-100kgs per week. If you just want to grow some mushrooms for your dinner plate, it can be done very cheaply! around $50 and some time and you'll have yourself a delicious feed of mushrooms.

      I'm seriously looking into doing this. I've had previous experience with the trade, and I know what it is going to take. My estimate for what you have described here is about $10,000. I've cut a few corners where I know I can; (no commercial fridge) and probably over budgeted for lab supplies which are more disposable. But, I would say you present a pretty good estimate in the end.

    Building your own laminar flow hood is a lot of fun, but you can't beat the price on the ones Meyer's Mushrooms has for sale. Costs sound realistic, assuming you have the space for a lab, incubation, and fruiting room. For most startups, renting a commercial space isn't going to be viable. Great video as usual. :)

    Man, I looked a long time to find this! So to summarize: startup costs (conservative) $7500 USD. 50 bags per week each one grows 1 kg x $40/kg = $2000/wk. Cost just $1.50 per bag or $75 total. So we talking (optimistically?) $1900/wk??? Is this right?

    • @OakandSpore

      potentially, but there are a lot of other costs involved. for 50 bags per week it will probably cost a little more than 7.5k for the bare minimum setup.

    Renting a van is certainly an option in much of the world, I could, I could have a van on the road by the end of the day here if I did it right now (it's 1500hrs here just now)
    I myself have 2 couple hundred litre still air boxes I use, & I just use small 15 litre Dub tubs to grow, & just use jars for Grain Spawn & Subtrate & small jars for cultures.
    Dub tubs are fantastic for the I guess we'd call this the Ultra Cheap method, if I do eventually take this commercial, I could already supply local restaurants weekly with fresh mushrooms, just using 2 walls of shelving in 1 of my rooms, the tubs are effectively self regulating in terms of humidity & aeration just needing, the sealed ones just need opened every few hours once significantly grown, & I have others with filters that aerate just fine.
    I'm still just finding my feet in this field, just how I could move forward on this is the really intensive task, if I can tackle that for most contingencies, I may actually do this.
    I could easily already make decent money from this to fuel an expansion, I've got 2 perfectly good rooms I could utilise for this right now & be succesful.
    It's just terrifying taking that next step ya know.
    Setup cost for me to take up those 2 walls would be around a grand, & substrate & grain just a fraction of that per month here

    Thank you very much for the detailed info. Mushrooms could become an important source of protein and other nutrients. Grown lokaly without pesticides and a great output of protein per invested energy/ biomass.

    Hi, fantastic resource, thank you !! I would like to ask about your temperature control ?? What heater do you use ?? How do you balance heating cost with the need for air flow (removal of CO2) and maintaining humidity ???

    I already have most(more like the first $1500) of this from my grow set up. And my grow space already set up to grow. Seems I just need the means to buy/make my own fruiting bags, and a source for my mushrooms. I wanna grow lions mane and oysters obviously. Looking for beginner advice.
