    Thank you for sharing this story. I love how he gives back to the community, the school and the children is able to benefit. Im a new mushroom grower and my first goal as to why i started my mushroom is that i can someday be able to share to people who cannot afford to put food on the table and give them a start up bags for them to grow mushrooms and also maybe even make a little profit. The school idea is great, as many children simply just dont have the means to eat at home 3x a day and the school usually does the feeding. This is an inspiration and a sign for me to keep pushing to achieve my goal. I was about to give up after 2weeks of growing as i could not see a single pin, but i realize i need to understand how a mushroom grows and be patient. So thank you for sharing.

    If the mushrooms are already sporing in the fruiting chamber, it is TOO LATE. Need to harvest much earlier!

    After so many years, still no break even - that doesn’t sound right for a commercial mushroom farm. Too complicated a Singaporean process. 😂
