I can't thank you enough for sharing this video. I'm 29 next month and on the verge of a massive career change as I launch into creating my own small scale mushroom farm this year. Exciting and terrifying times! I am also self taught and I am so grateful to people such as yourself that have been so open and generous with their knowledge. So, thank you! Just the inspiring words I needed to hear in this moment. Big Love, from Nikki - Australia 💗
Update? One year later!
1 yr update- hows it going?
2 year update?

Looks like you are crushing it on Instagram! Awesome work
I am 31 years old. I am going to be working at dominoes so I can fund my future mycology business, you sir, are a true inspiration.

Am 42 and am a chef in a 5 stars hotel . Last week we got some training how to cultivate mushroom and hope to start growing soon .
Incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much for making this video. I just started watching your videos and I'm so excited to watch them all and learn more!
So glad I came across this channel I have recently got into mushroom hunting and also at an end with life but this has given a boost into how I want my future to be great content and honesty love the fact of sharing ideas only pushes us forward than you 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾
Great content. Keep it up!
Im 34 and am in the beggining process of getting my mushroom business started. I'm a career chef that recently left the kitchen to persue my own business.
Im starting with 96-120 blocks capacity fruiting room, small air box and just incubating a small tent. Im really putting my all into it. WTF has been a big inspiration and motivator.
Just reading your comment, we’re you able to move forward on your goals?
👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, and he got shrooms, Dmt, lsd, mmda, psilocybin, chocolate bars, he got a lot of it.. 🍄 💊🍄🍫💯🔌..
Heavens yes brother, we appreciate you. Keep it up, your channel is amazing. I am so glad you are doing internships. teaching people is where true value is generated
Hey Sire 👋
I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!
I got a ad on the video and it was some guy saying "is this video you just clicked going to help you pay your bills?" Yes I just clicked on a video to learn about starting a mushroom business. That was a bad ad placement. I already a cannabis cultivator. So this seems like a natural progression to diversity my income. Cannabis is crazy flooded here in Oregon. 40 an oz. I just recently built a cannabis extraction laboratory which is turning out to be lucrative because everyone is flooded with flower.
Keep up the great work I wish you guys the best of luck. That's a lot of dedication and a blessing to become your own boss being self taught.
I would also like to thank you for sharing. I am at the same point in my life as the previous posters, and have found that finding good information can be very frustrating. thanks again!
I appreciate what you do! Blessings on your harvest🍄🙏😊
Nice story:).I am about 10 years behind you but same story..lol..almost 40 and trying to start a local grow operation...so much work...Good job man
It won't take you 10 years though to reach where he is just because there has been so much more Info and tech available to support your farm. I wish the best to you.

Heavens yes brother, we appreciate you. Keep it up, your channel is amazing. I am so glad you are doing internships. teaching people is where true value is generated
Thank you, this mostly answered my question from last episode. Great work, thank you for doing this.
Thank you for your efforts. Your channel is one of the best. I'm 48 with a similar background to yourself and I'm at that point where making that break will make it all worthwhile.Thank you for the inspiration. Greetings from sunny South africa
Darius Archer thanks man
@@whatthefungus Hi Brian thanks for the info. I bought land in Southern Colorado and it's hard to find work there I'm looking for ways to make money. Can Mushrooms be grown efficiently in a semi aired climate?
@@JP247thatjusthappend Not sure what you mean by semi aired climate, but mushrooms can be grown efficiently anywhere that has enough moisture and ventilation. They breathe in O2 and produce CO2, same as us, so proper ventilation is needed for them to grow.
Wow this is amazing! Thank you for this. I'm at the VERY beginning of my journey (about to harvest my first Lion's Mane grain spawn bag), and this has me incredibly optimistic about rolling up my sleeves and putting in the work. Will definitely be looking into more of your content in the future. Mush love to you my friend!
Awesome story! I'm in the same boat. I have a buisness that does well, but just not consistent income. I'm fascinated by mushrooms and honestly, mentally, they bring some form of calmness in my life. I totally dig your buisness model of shifting your product with the seasons. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more awesome videos!
thank you for these videos, I'm in the same position as you have been so I went back to school. now four years later I'm just finished my degree in horticulture and will be slowly getting into growing mushrooms. keep up the good work always look forward to your next video!
paul kelly a.
I really enjoy watching your video and motivated me into mushroom farming.thx
Just found your channel and subbed! We are a small homesteading family in North Carolina and I am hoping to start a MUCH smaller mushroom business for homesteaders and gardeners in my area! Can't wait to watch your videos and learn! - Tom from the Whistle Thicket Channel!
Thank you ! Brilliant video, very clear and inspiring.
I love your videos. You are so informative and at the same time, down to earth. I am using your videos so that I can start a mushroom farm here in Poland. You are a great inspiration man.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
your story really inspired me to start mushroom farming as well.. thanks for sharing your story.
Following the same path, using RUclips to further my education. Still needing to research my market before taking the dive into opening a business. Being in Louisiana..we have more than enough humidity to cultivate, but I’m not exactly sure which direction to take (medicinal or culinary, if not a blend of both).
You are, by far, the most influential person I’ve seen on RUclips when it comes to mushrooms. It’s been a curiosity of mine for a couple years, but you give people like me the courage and determination to pursue our goals. Keep up the awesome work, man!

Brother, you rock!!!! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much for sharing that, how generous. I wish you the very best of luck. I'm in my mid thirties and work in healthcare, I want to start a small grow for restaurants and farmers markets.
This is such a good video!! So many jewels here!!
Thank you for your inspirational words, brother. I am in process of trying my hand at indoor cultivation to feed my locals. Bless you sir.
Great sharing of your experience! Cheers!
Thank you for the valuable information and personal experience!
Hey man
I know you probably won't read this
But I'm at a similar point in my life, just turned 30, been a bar manager for way too long
I just got a new job doing logistics for a landscaping company, I don't know a whole lot about growing mushrooms, but I dropped out of college for med school and I'm familiar with labs
However, I feel my story is similar to yours and my favorite thing about you is you aren't afraid to teach people
My favorite part of your channel is that you've shared your vulnerabilities and shown how you've come from nothing come across hardships and still moved forward
I love it, you've inspired me and maybe in six years when I get my operation I'll take you out to dinner and we'll talk about working together because I live very far away from you and live in an area where this kind of thing is in short supply and high demand
You've inspired me
I'm willing to put in the work and time
Conor Gober I read every comment! Really appreciate the kind words. Been one hell of a journey man. It takes patientance, the ability to problem solve and one hell of a wife showing you support and encouragement.
Hey, thank you for sharing, I am at exact the same stage where you have been. Also Gastronomy. I love your humble way of showing gratitude. I am working hard on an organic farm to produce for our tiny restaurant. You give me hope and inspiration. Thanks.
Off course we want to see more videos like this....lotssssss of themmmmm
You are now a symbol of aspiration. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🥰
You are blessed man
Thanks for your videos and your willingness to share your knowledge. Great channel! What is your favorite mushroom channel you would watch on you tube?
honestly, i didn't have a favourite channel back then as it was hard to find consistency on RUclips. I jumped around a lot
love your honesty about not knowing what your doing and think a lot of businesses would be better off if their founders would just admit that. Working on a similar project myself and fully expect to mess up and do some stupid stuff but hope flies eternal and i hope and expect you do well in the future.
Congratulations!..... 2 years later i wonder how much your business has grown already. You deserve your success....
People freely sharing knowledge online made me as well. Great story. Well done
Thank you for sharing. I knew that there was more to it than a bag of wood chips. Once I thought about it for a few minutes I realized that there is obviously an investment, one has to do research, become a student, develop a market, storage, delivery, logistics, knowledge, experience, and skill. As well critically have some passion like other businesses I had when I had the energy and was healthy. I was reminded that it is a job and it takes a lot of work and commitment to start and run a business. So your video confirmed the basic laws of business. I wish you continued success and again I appreciate you sharing your valuable insight. P.S. Best intentions to all entrepreneurs wanting to give value to this world because making money alone isn't enough in my book.
And I'm from Philippines... Good luck and may you continue growing your mushroom business..
"Just Do It!" Thank you very inspirational.
He didn’t “just do it”! Life isn’t a slogan. He studied for 2 years, found mentors & invested $30k! That’s called doin your due diligence. Mushroom farming isn’t easy or inexpensive! Few succeed, many fail.
Great initiation Big man!!!
Thank you for sharing this. Big hug from Mozambique.
I am hooked on your videos. Thank you for producing them! I have a question: I want to grow mushrooms in my 10' by 8' shed which has one small window. How can I get good FAE in the shed? Thx again!
If u have power in the shed.... Cut a hole, install a bathroom fan caulk around it for seal and ensure you have a filter over the intake.
Great story.... Thanks for sharing...
I am also grower of mushrooms...
I want ur help....
How to preserve mushrooms...
Can we make mushrooms in the vaccum polybags...
thank you for sharing your story. i have a question. can we grow mushrooms from other parts of the world here in the US ? thanks in advance.
thank you for sharing...that's really inspiring story..
I happened to come across your youtube channel and I found it to be most interesting. I would like to start a mushroom farm - albeit a small one initially. Would it be possible for you to advise me the best approach to do so with regard to the initial setup for a small production.
Many thanks.
Good job keep gioing you will have a happy life. I need to learn from you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hello, Please can you tell me how to preserve mushroom for a longer time on self at the super market. Thank you
i give you thanks for your video i watch it,,,,it so helpful for me,,,,i'm new in this mushroom business here in the Philippines,, i start it last month,i watch more video and get any idea...thanks a lot.
I wld like to have a mushroom small scale farm! Great job with yours, it seems you are on the right path. I was wondering if you had to apply to a farmers license or apply as a business like an LLC or anything. I liked hearing your story of your journey, the good and the bad.

Very inspirational. Thank you.
Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing ...
Last time i was in Okanogan was in 1979 picking apples for my uncle Garnald Smallwood.
Great story man , Ive always worked for myself and i know how bad it can be at times and how rewarding at the same time. Ive been looking into growing mushrooms myself here in Quebec . I would LOVE to get more info on the work program . ive got a ton of construction and landscaping and horticulture experience . More importantly I work hard man lol. But otherwise thanks for the vid and ill be subbing up anyways. Im looking forward to learning from you. Congratulations by the way ! take care
I find it interesting to watch others make media, there are sooooo many different ways. Mushrooms are a labor of love.
Could u pls tell me, which books have you read?
Good day, could i have some info on how to apply for your one week workshop, and steps that i need to talk.. much thanks, and i appreciate your videos...
you, sir, are a treasure. keep it up. subscribed
Do you have spore syringes or agar spore solutions
Dude - its pretty clear... they were thinking you had a magic mushroom grow project underway!! I have never grown edible mushrooms before, but have dabbled in some Golden Teachers and B+ mushrooms in my basement - works out GREAT! The next batch i did, i went large scale and did like 15x ten-gallon fish tanks, over 150x mason jar setup to start things off before transferred them to castings.... then GOT MOLD! Ughhh, the love-hate relationship that is the FUNGUS-AMONGUS!
Love your story. I am within reach of tackling this same carreer path, though your personal history with the challenges make it seem daunting. Definetely need to keep grinding in the books and research. If the Canadian boarder didnt have such ridiculous restrictions I would sign up for the 1week in a heartbeat. In anycase, thanks for sharing. Your humility is refreshing.
Hi Brian thanks for the info. I bought land in Southern Colorado and it's hard to find work there. I'm looking for ways to make money. Can Mushrooms be grown efficiently in a semi aired climate?
Great info, im trying the same in England.
Thanks for sharing brother,I really appreciate the heart, as well as your desire for the open source flow of process. Long live the youtube revolution!
I'm 49. My family is doing this too. Studied on you tube for months. I want to take Paul's course too. We have 13 acres. My dad is about to get an LLC. Funds to start is what we need. I'm excited about it too.
Brian, thanks to share!
Man! What an amazing story !
Anyone know any of the locations he mentioned? Possibly Canada?
Everytime I try to grow them they get moldy. Do you still have any workshop or volunteering opportunities?
awesome!! Thank you!!
I have a question regarding humidity and carbon dioxide: if you run high humidity in grow room and at the same time carbon dioxide level increases, where automatically switches on ventilation to flow out the air, which might decrease humidity level at the same time. How you deal with such case?
Sweet thanks!
Thank u for your kind words bro! Sharing is caring😀😀😀😀
Nice work bro..keep it up
How many times can you harvest one bag
Do you still do the programme?
Sir how can we contact you for further info about mushroom business. Tnx
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Do you have a certain protocol for cleaning your greenhouses during fruiting? With indoor grows I feel like you have to clean floors with bleach/vinegar every day or eod.
as summer approaches and it warms up we like to scrub the floor every 1-2 weeks with peroxide. Mostly we spray out the floor once a day and flip and clean the greenhouse every 6 weeks.
thanks, dude! it's pretty funny that you mentioned this idea of people in their late 20s getting into this sort of thing...here i am at 27 and i'm just spunging all this info up. thanks so much for paying it forward!
Great video. Those are beautiful mushrooms.
hey man, inspiring video, im studying to grow in the UK, my friend lives in penticton, im on saltspring island learning, id love to visit u
Great story inspiring
Great story, I love that you just went for it! No promises, nothing was a sure thing. But, that you adapted and followed a dream. BTW, did you use the normalize filter? This video's audio mix sounds good on my TV.
Bryan Hargrave yes normalizing has been the missing link to my videos
I have to admit that I love success , and I have been learning from both you and Curtis ... I have spent the last 7 years studying health , which led me into many different field avenues , but the most interesting study for the last few years has been on a quantum level of photosynthesis regarding the human genome and the plant genomic structures . I have actually just released a new protocol regarding the massive improvement of the crystal structure of water in both liquid and solid form . I have discovered a system and method of recording a memory onto the crystal structure of water , which in fact , will increase production of your farming operation as well as Curtis's farm operation . Decreased germination times / less time to maturity , less water consumption and use / and increased plant structures = extra weights on all plants using the protocol / extra big shrooms ... plants as well ... up to as much as double the size at maturity ... lol, I do know that you are now thinking , WTF , is this guy claiming ... it is a truth that we were never taught , or even considered was possible , but , extended research on a quantum level has made me discover this new protocol , and no I haven't been sampling the skinny strains ... lol... Somehow / some way , my beginning research on my personal health led me into the field of quantum microbiology / quantum entanglement applications / and a basic understanding regarding other quantum mechanical applications ... I have released my protocol to a top world known Neuro- surgeon / a top set of microbiological labs and research specialists around the world , and just in the last 2 weeks from this memo ... I am the guy that can honestly state ; human diseases can be cured by simply drinking the correct structure of water , and knowing that and having that understanding will also allow me to teach others on a far different level than they currently know . Think of an old style of recording called a cassette tape , it could play a song , and when you wanted a new song to listen to , you could erase that song and record a new song onto it , and again and again ... a phase angle of bonding exists for all water , which is in fact the hydrogen and hydrogen bonding to the oxygen molecule = the phase angle ... tap water averages 104 degrees / plastic bottled water = 101 degrees of phase angle bonding / my protocol increases the phase angle of bonding to 114 approx. degrees phase angle = a far less rigid water structure , which as a result has better absorption into a cell membrane , and if energized / will have super beneficial results of usage ... this is a new understanding that will work 100% on any plant structures , and has been shown to have approx. 85 % success rate on eliminating stroke in people that have had a stroke / it will actually eliminate many types of inflammation , which of course is arthritis , and will in many cases halt and even reverse ms / parkinson's , and over a hundred more so called diseased conditions in humans ... anyhow , I am offering a trade situation with your business for my new discovery ... you teach me about your business and I share my knowledge with you ... my protocol was actually developed by me , with no outside funding and little expenditures ... very low equipment costs involved , but super beneficial .... pm... me and we can go from there ... ttyl, T... p.s ----this discovery is named after me ; SQUIRES LIGHT ENERGY PROTOCOL ... derived from understandings of ; EINSTEIN ---BEC 1927 , ALSO ---E=MCsquared , TESLA ---EVERYTHING IS THE LIGHT , MASARU EMOTO --- VICTOR SCHAUBERGER , and many more ... every day for years ... Humans as well as plants go through a photosynthetic metamorphosis regarding light ... which in fact makes much of currently understood medicine ---wrong ...
wow ... I am somehow being censored on releasing this understanding of water ... the line out or stroke out magically appeared after being posted to your site ...
@@SuperChromer1 Con artists get censored, score one for the good guys!

What about the risk of spores when growing in an apartment
I live in the tropics and was wondering what type of mushroom will do good in the heat.
Pink and yellow oysters
Thanks for sharing. Insane that you got defacto banned from growing mushrooms by a landlord. Sounds quite comical now, but I guess at the time it wasn't.
Fantastic to hear that everything is starting to grow strong roots.
I think in the future a mushroom farm is where I want to be. I'm doing some stuff on air pollution at the moment so I'm a bit tied up. My biggest fear I suppose would be messing up a regular supply contract with a contamination issue. I guess I could just sell when the mushrooms are ready.
I think my next step is to put a small grow operation in my back yard and just keep practicing growing until I'm confident.
Thanks for the videos, it really is inspirational and helpful
All the very best :)
What books would you recommend for starting a mushroom farm?
👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, and he got shrooms, Dmt, lsd, mmda, psilocybin, chocolate bars, he got a lot of it.. 🍄 💊🍄🍫💯🔌..
Hope all is well !
did you use mushroom money to build the farm and scale it up?
What a random video to appear on my youtube feed. I'm even allergic to most mushrooms, lol.
Thanks...
I recently order oyster spawn and get a experience of mushroom farming then I'll start a proper business
❤❤❤thank you
Great!!!!
