"My success is having as many connections as possible"
That sounds a lot like mycelium now doesn't it ;)
I thought the same thing!
I was reading this when he said that. Weird.
First they got Paul, now Brian! Hope *we're* next, and I want a hat!
Winner of a video, I have been researching "mushroom log tek" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Heenyan Mushroom Organifiction - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.
You're a legend!! Cheers for sharing all the advice and information. Mad Karma points and wishing you all the best!
Your success in having as many connections as possible is a mycelial concept. Look at how the mycelium branch out to form as many connections with the surrounding environment as possible. I once thought that independence means isolating yourself from everything but in fact, true independence is being connected to everything so that there is no dependence on any one thing. Thank you for the video man.

I love it! This is the kind of inspiration that feeds my ambition to just keep cultivating, and never let go of that goal to get to a commercial level. I just built my first lab and locked down an LLC. I hope to meet you someday to learn some more insights from someone as open as you about the trade. I can tell you really just love fungus and all it can teach us! If every business had a compassionate drive like yours this world would be a better place.. keep up the hard work! Also, keeping it classy with just one little f bomb thrown in there 😂. You rock dude.
Great video.
That's exactly what I have noticed in many industries with a high profit margin after initial start up. I believe that info should be free to those that seek it.
Glad your sharing
Thank you so much for all the info! My Dad is building me a grow room in my garage here in southern Missouri US. Now he’s said it’s all up to me to make some money Lol. I gotta get some knowledge fast and start growing!!! I will be binging your videos for the rest of the week!
Thank you very much for everything you share. Very much appreciated my guy.
Thank for for a good honest video full of informative content. I definitely hit the like and follow buttons and . Merry Christmas from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for all your time and effort in making these videos.
I must be doing things your way because all of the points you just made are where I am in my journey to create my mushroom farm.
Time more time, money and information are the key.
Thanks again and keep on growing the fungus.
Philip Kewley the years just slip away
Thanks for your honesty and willingness to share.
Thank you Kind Sir ! I watch all of your content and have learned tons of valuable info.
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for all your videos you put out and the time you put into making them. Im sure to a lot of people it seems effortless to share information about what you do. However, I understand the time and effort it takes to plan each video, set up your camera, edit and what not. Thats time you spend away from your business directly (even though I'm sure its contributed to it in the long run) all in the effort to aid in the success of others.
Much respect dude.

Lana Santo Making RUclips videos is definetley a lot of work.. mostly editing at the end of the day. But RUclips is the best social media platform out there. Our education program has been so successful this year from RUclips so I'm happy to make these videos.
Just stumbled upon you whilst researching growing mushrooms, your work is amazing and thanks for sharing it with us. Were in the uk and would love to start growing some mushrooms :-)
Thank you!! Greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your advice and hard work!
Massive thanks from the UK ! I've been growing Lions Mane / Reishi for 18+ months and looking to take the next steps. Will be going through all your vids in near future - cheers mate ;)
Great video as always. I've been doing actual logs for shiitakes for a few years and playing with coffee ground kits then using that to inoculate straw. For a small scale and learning purposes what are your thoughts about lime and or wood ash pasteurization with straw for oysters?
thanks new to you great info to feed on cheers from Toledo,WA
Thank you 💖 want to do this. Very good advice.
Would love to get another one of these but an updated version coming out of the pandemic and how you adapted etc and goals moving forward. You're awesome!
Noted!
Its great to see ppl such as urself spreading the wealth of knowledge around m8. Much appreciated, always looking forward to ur next video.
The Hillbilly Homestead thanks
I found this very helpful. Thank you!
thanks for your videos friends,im learning alot!!
excellent, keep it up, pioneering the mushroom business. love the communication
Thanks for the info. Very helpful!!!!!!
hi . thanks a lot for the video i am from algeria and here we havn t the knowldge to make a mushroom busniss no information no culture no spaw or mycluim of a lot varities and i dont know haw to start but thank you for all these information its helping and inspiring
Thanks man, much appreciated.
Thanks for this!
thanks man, appreciate your insight
Thank you for sharing, I'm just starting out growing for Restraunts. I plan to only have about four regular customers to start so I can really perfect just a couple strains for them. I still work part time and I'm going to take my time growing this farm but my main focus is mushrooms since a. I love them, b. they are fascinating and c. not many people in my area grow local mushrooms yet...I'm so glad I found your channel. For the past three years I've been finding a good source for my spawn and I found a reliable fruiting block company out of Westbrook, ME called Northspore Mushroom...excited to make a success out of this...thanks again for sharing your knowledge
What kind of business license do you need to sell your mushrooms to a restaurant?
saving to take your mentorship program! Mush Love from Whistler brother
Just starting out in the mountains of wales and stumbled upon your site wow cool thanks for info
Amazing business ... you've done very well!!!
I don't know if I'll ever start a mushroom business but thank you for putting this channel up and sharing this info.
Thanks bro. I'm brand new. I live in southern Maine and I'll check out cap and stem
Awesome video. Our farm is about a few miles away from Paul’s. And after watching your vids we want to dip our feet in mushrooms! Thanks for all your hard work.
We have to grow our spawn here in Mexico too. Although there are spawn producers in the country, they charge a lot on shipping!!! Of course if we were producing a huge amount of mushrooms, that would be ok but for now we do everything ourselves
Eduardo Ucan Morales do you have a farm?
People are closed because we are greedy sometimes, and like control. Once knowledge is freed, we have no control over it. It really is sad. We gotta evolve past this phase or we're totally screwed.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, mushroom dude. You're changing the game in a huge way; bigger than you may know.
I like how a video about growing mushrooms keeps switching from a warm to a cool light filter
Right on thank you
I got a small codycep from the mycelium. I wanted to ask that after the codycep is harvested can the base be used as mycelium for growing more or do we need the codycep itself for making more mycelium?
Passion Sir ! Good job
thank you much..you need to specify how much is sufficient to start up, blessings
Thanks for posting. Hope your business does well.
thanks for the info I am just starting out
True inspiration, this. For reals.
What's the Business permits, certificates, and licenses like?. I'm in Ontario and I'm planning to do a small scale indoor farm like a small warehouse. Is 8-10K good enough for small scale?. Thanks.
Is it bad that I noticed the color fluctuating in the video? Like I was on a mushroom trip? I'm joking of course but I noticed it. My husband and I are seriously thinking of starting a farm outside of Colville, WA. and we hope to follow this operation for guidance.
Hey what temp do you grow your king trumpets in?
Cool video man
I have a lemongrass farm I would I to use lemongrass leaf for mushrooms. How can I buy wholesale fungi for farm
hi this Ganapathi, from India .
can I chart with you through this, why because we have mushroom farm in our native. so if I talk you I will get some knowledge that's what bro.
Thanks for video! I know a guy that has multiple utility sheds on this property that he doesnt use. Maybe I should offer to rent some of his sheds(1 or 2 at a time), and try to grow shrooms in them, but then i wonder how I can affordably keep them heated and properly ventilated? WOuld space heaters, and fans work? Must be expensive on hydro or can you do it with solar panels, or wind turbines? I live in Ontario, but this guy lives in Quebec where hydro is suppose to be more affordable. What do you think. How expensive is it to operate a grow room?
There's a fungus among us.
Hello. I also live in Canada, and I've been considering the idea of starting a business in producing spawn. From your video I get the impression that focusing on one aspect of cultivation may be helpful because you don't have to multitask nearly as much. It's interesting that you mention that there is currently no reputable supplier of good spawn, which means that potentially there is an opportunity in the market to build a business. I'm curious if you think it would be possible for spawn produced in Ontario to be shipped to other parts of the country without damage? Hypothetically, would a BC grower buy spawn from a producer from Ontario? Or is the shipping distance too great to make that feasible.
I have been making my own spawn and brain-storming on how the whole process could be scaled-up. So I do have a pretty good idea what spawn production company would look like, however I'm just not sure how much of an untapped market I would be able to access if I were to try to make that happen.
i think producing spawn commercially will only be successful if you have experience growing commercially
Getting inspired!!! Watch out! :)
Thank you, mushrooms for dummies, i like it
How can I buy mushroom seeds?
How do I get in touch with you? I really want to start something like in Ghan.
how much is an alright price for a ready set? im from germany and here the kg price for king oyster for example are 20€ and one block costs 21€ everywere I looked.
that seems a bit much.
Why do you not grow morel mushrooms?
any tips for home growing as a business?
What is the name with there 2 company?
So what I did is I rehydrated it in hydrogen peroxide and planted the dissected codycep on the culture media. The media I used is "rice wheat a teaspoon sugar". In a glass jar with an opening for plugging in the cotton.
I am from CA, USA... I want to quit my 9-5 to start a mushroom farm, how do I get mentored by you? I would love to write to you through email.
I love the name.
Is this possible for psilocybin?
How much money you make a year?
these ready-to-fruit blocks from fungi perfecti and cap and stem cost on average $20-odd. how many pounds of mushroom could each produce in your estimation?
r3horst contact Cap N Stem and ask for bulk pricing
Spawn is so expensive when pre made, idk if I can agree with this and you and Myers mushrooms both suggest this. Spawn is ridiculously cheap if done yourself. Honestly in my opinion it should be required that anyone getting Into gourmet mushrooms for business grow the spawn and produce it themselves; unless just harvesting for personal consumption. Leave the business to the passionate ones willing to do the work from the ground up. Buying pre made blocks is leaving so much money On the table
That website wouldn't let me buy the shirt. Links aren't working for me in the site
teespring.com/stores/what-the-fungus
Awesome
I need to know if I take codycep fungi wild type from the market (last year's stock) can that be used to start up micelial culture? Please answer quick yes or no. It's quite cold here Kashmir
you need to get spores. It might be possible to rehydrate in hydrogen peroxide and transfer culture
done.. lets see if micelium happens.. without any contamination. what is the temperature and light conditions for micelium?
after soaking in hydrogen peroxide, you would still tear open the mushroom and transfer a clean piece of tissue on agar with a flowhood.
I have transferred to the culture. i did tear it open before planting it on top of the culture. what the initial temperature and light conditions. completely dark?
I would say buying pre-made blocks is only putting money in the pockets of those producing and selling them. He is correct about getting a flow hood and starting there, but after that sterilizing and pasteurizing substrate is no more complicated than the flow hood work. He is arguing for his own limitations and past experience, which does not have to be anyone else's reality. It would be very hard to buy a bunch of blocks and expect to make money. Straw is very good to begin with, I agree with that too.
Who do you sell to?
What are the legal implications to sell food you grow direct to customers and restaurants? Licensing? What if I wanted to sell mushroom supplments?
Love you tho
I know you grow outdoors in tents, but if you were growing indoors(warehouse)..............wouldn't it be more productive to grow year round?
Its the same thing dude
Both are controlled environments
Great information, I wish you didn’t speak over the trucks trying to get some air time though.
can I join here?
how much money do I need to franchise with you
Bobbie Costar your better off connecting through our Mentorship first. Franchising is a few years away if we go that way. Check out course details on our website www.wtfmushrooms.com
Does apple tree wood work?
Glenn Dyne yeah it probably will work really well, mushrooms naturally decompose cellulose, which is the main component in trees
Can you repost book suggestions please?
I would love to check out the course but I'm a broke 22 year old lol
Good day it is profitable business to start
I wanna go try selling a wide variety of mushrooms at a farmers market... But Idk I feel like no one will wanna buy them.
WHAT THE FUNGUS would taking advantage of the ground temperature help extend your growing season like in this video? ruclips.net/video/Ibaf_rkW_30/видео.html
Umm quick summery of what he said. To start a business of growing mushrooms you have to start growing mushrooms. It sounds like im being sarcastic but thats really what your telling me? Also pay extra money to have other people send me already made bags?
I'm based in Thailand and really starting to wonder if making your own bags is ever worth it when you can buy them for as little as 0.20 USD (inoculated and ready to go). Sure looks like a lot of work for a relatively low value product.
US might not be as cheap but it's certainly a consideration to make.
GiPSy FiSH ready to fruit blocks cost $3.50-5.00 here
GiPSy FiSH 0.2 dollars= 6 baht? Thats extremely cheap even for Thailand. You sure you meant spawned bags?
Might have misread.Google translate and all... From my understanding some go as low as 6-8 baht and it shows bags in the pictures. Your information sources might be more solid, I got it from this website: www.nanagarden.com searched for เห็ด
GiPSy FiSH no, you are correct. Its wholesale price if you buy several hundreds bags. I didnt realise , that this stuff is so cheap here... I bought some single bag for 25 baht at my local market. Thanks for the info :)
I don't want to fit in. I just want to grow basic mushrooms (oyster or button) in large quantity, because spaghetti with out mushrooms is less.. That's it! Texture.
still waiting for the "How" to start"
Fungi perfecti a company by mycologist Paul stamets. Great guy check out his podcast on joe rogan. Nobody has more of a love for mushrooms then this guy.
He repeatedly mentioned him and Fungi Perfecti by name..
First let me say that you seem to be knowledgeable and fairly successful in your endeavors. Especially to someone like myself who is still in the research stage of my journey. Having said that, this video sucked. Particularly, as the content relates to the title. Ask yourself that same question, and watch the video for an answer to that question and you'll see what I mean. Sure, you put out some anecdotal blurbs, but never really got specific enough to create a baseline to start.
"Buy" a kit. Really? I'm sure your a wealth of information. I think you just fell short on delivery in this instance.
dankonia69 The video talks about the value of hands-on learning. Starting a mushroom business is not black and white and certainly not easy. I go into detail that you will be more successful if you focus on just growing, and buy ready to fruit blocks. If you want to learn what I do then take my course. This video puts into perspective the challenges I went through during start up. I got lots of videos on my channel that you should find helpful.
I think the franchise method will make everyone much more happier and successful. Each piece of your equipment has been made specific. Where as if since you have isolates that are proven. Making the blocks since your already an a-z farm. It would help your entire system to capitalize on each piece. Hmu Brian. Cause small scale and lab work is fun but it's not getting it to market without a whole lot of money, time and work.
He started off with they don't like to share, you feel he shared anything but his situation.
Ah, he sells a course. Thats why its so vague.
I’m just starting out a mushroom growing company it’s only day 19 I’m here trying to absorb all this info like crazy it’s stressful starting from the ground up but so exciting. Working with a $20,000 investment and I’m not doing it alone. Wish us luck and I really think we’re gonna get somewhere
@@csv294 well man, it’s been a long winding road. And a lot of things fell through especially with our investor. We were swimming against syrup and it didn’t go the way we expected. We had some success selling mushroom products at several different farmers markets but we lost our grow space and office due to some unfortunate circumstances. But honestly I think it was all for the best and was an interesting learning experience. I haven’t given up on the dream though and it’s still something I hope to work toward. The road just isn’t gonna be so straight forward as originally thought but that’s just how things go. I’m moving out of this city in 2 months and starting a new chapter. Hopefully I find my way haha.
Thanks for the comment. Reading back at what I wrote 2 years ago at the start of this venture is somethin else huh.
Maybe I need to re watch this video huh!
@@csv294 thanks brother, same to you
Less talking more information, thanks
why are you out of business?
Deuki Ray I'm not. We shut down for the winter
Aren't you worried that at some point teaching people will backfire on you? If too many people do this then it isn't profitable anymore. The market will become over saturated because of youtube. I use to be interested in doing this but it doesn't look like a good business anymore. Is the cat out of the bag?
Gary Bolinky nah we have a strong foundation in our market. Like I said this business is not easy. That's why we offer a course but you still gotta put in the work
But business isn't supposed to be easy cuz if it was everyone would be doing it and then there wouldn't be a very good profit for you
Why empower your competitors? I would rather keep the knowledge in house.
why do you complain??
This was a terrible vid.
I am so humble.....now let me talk about all the things I have done for the community and all the people I inspire.
Very misleading title
Im upset I clicked on this video it was a waste of time, you didn't realy give any info just your own what ever
