This is by far the most informative video, with the most direct presentation of info that I have seen on mushroom farming. Anybody that is just wanting to get started, like myself, should absolutely watch this video! So many ways to make money, and save money. Thank you so much for making this. Sincerely.
I just want to eat a lot of mushrooms. It would be too expensive to buy the amount of mushrooms I would like to eat on a daily basis.

@@TrojansFirstbergwilly11 is the best, he's been my supplier in anything psychedelics.
he got other varieties of legit and clean psychedelics products, and he ships discreetly.
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my wife 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.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
Saw people talking about..checked him out, I must say he's good at what he does. My son is clean 1 year now. Good luck. just micro dose and you won't trip. Mushrooms helped my son get off opioid.
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 good example of how successful entrepreneurs think. Nice job!
Amazing detail and insights! I guarantee you that there are people selling courses on getting started in mushroom farming that don't have half the level of depth. Thanks for sharing!
thanks. and yea thats a fact for sure on other classes.
Hey, just wanted to say how much I appreciate you sharing what you've learned. I want to get into growing mushrooms as a hobby first, and this really helps me understand what could be possible down the line if I continue along the path. Awesome video! Thanks!
Man, I hope your generosity has been well rewarded ❤ Thank you for the info. With inflation, I’d love to hear how your process has evolved and get some updated prices for 2023.
I would do medicinal mushrooms, such as Lion's Mane and place a placard listing all the health benefits of the mushroom. Together with Turkey Tail Mushrooms and its tremendous therapeutic health benefits.
thought this comment was going in a different direction when I started reading it
Shhhhhhh 🤫
you are one of the smartest mushroom grower on earth
This information is so valuable. Thank you n you didn't even try to sell me anything. This is how you build true rapport. Life time subscriber here. 😁
Dude, you are a fine business man. I admire the way you think
This was great I got into growing LM a month ago and already have people intersted in my area and am gonna be scaling up. Ideally I just want to produce 20-30pds a week. This was great info! New sub
You sir know your stuff. I can see you being successful at anything you choose to do. Thank you for all the excellent info.
Thank you pal.
Good luck.
"I'm in the military"....... INSTANT SUB BROTHER! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS IN ALL YOU DO!
not sure ive got your clarity and energy but grt vid thanks.
that's pretty cool man that you are sharing your sells and labor with other people most people I know are greedy and wouldn't do that they would try and keep everything to themselves
I lived in EP for 7 years. It was a hot place to live. I wasn’t happy there. I sure wish I would have known you while I was there though. I’m liking your videos.
The co-op delivery idea is genius.
Finally, a video that isn't about psychedelics. It's tough to find advice on growing mushrooms without being lead to places that do illegal things.
thank you
Great info, thanks
I've seen this video several times- great review. thanks dude

Another piece of advice for you to chew on is to be your own Farmer's Market. Organized Farmer's Markets usually have a fee or a booth rental included into the process to pay for organizing and/or renting the space to have it. Invest in a trailer ($500) some lumber and minimal hardware ($500) and build your own stand that you can take anywhere any time. You can make it as simple or complex as you want, generators, l.e.d. lighting, automatic sprayers, etc. Your mushrooms, coupled with your friends' produce for variety will make you unstoppable. Get to know the owner of some high traffic, semi-affluent locations i.e. upscale fitness center parking lots, senior centers and the like and ask for permission/rent a spot.
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful in developing the big picture on the business side of this business.
Kick ass video.. just stumbled upon it while looking up mushroom grow videos.. very informative.. thanks
Awesome video. Working on starting a mushroom business in Southern Oregon. Oddly enough I'm also thinking of a microgreens business.
About the chefs, what are your most popular strains?
Thanks mate, really good information, and great idea bringing other growers in. Thanks again!
excellent....
Helpful ideas ! Thank you !
One question I have that I have yet to see anyone discuss in their videos is: HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH MOLD IN YOUR GROW ROOMS. Maintaining humidity in the 90% range in a small enclosed space inevitably leads to the growth of mold. I've started to experience this in my own grow room despite a ton of air flow and frequent air exchanges and have struggled to keep it clean and suppress mold growth. I've been wiping down surfaces with dilute bleach, but have been looking for other methods to intermittently purge the entire room (i.e., fumigation or use of ozone generator). I know that commercial scale growers often steam sterilize their grow rooms (not practical for me). What do you do to routinely clean, and periodically sterilize your grow room? Thanks in advance for this information... it will be very helpful for me (and may prove to be a useful video for others if you'd like to address this with a TH-cam video)!
Keep the room clean. Build it with inorganic materials like metal and plastic.
You can make your grow room colder and use heat tape on your rack floors, you can insulate the outside of your tub walls to hold warmth, its best to have a dry cool sterile room that you then maintain a warm moist fruiting chamber in. Smooth hard surfaces that are easy to clean and sterilize are very important if your worried about contaminants.
@@MyersMushroomsFarmsdo you have a book? i really want to learn but don't know where to start. I get some of the different aspects of the operation but not knowing what comes first is tough.
You can get an ultraviolet light on a timer to steralize the room.
Are you filtering your air intake?
Thank you so much for your great vedio, God bless
Thank you.
I have been seriously considering trying to do this! I love to grow and love variety as well!!! Thanks for your experience!
You can get your growing materials from @benjidelics
Seek on Instagram
Some priceless info, really appreciate this, thank you
Great advice and information. Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well your way
Great advice. Thanks 😊
Dope and informative, thanks
Nice video! From a former Ft Bliss "inmate". A 1/65 ADA 11th BDE IHAWK
hell yea!
Well Done Sir😀👐
Thank you 🙏
Hey ☝️☝️☝️☝️ look up the handle for grow kits spores shrooms etc
I have a question, I am starting out with everything and unfortuanately where I live in California I can only have a business if I have a cottage industry permit. Problem is mushrooms are on the list of unaccepted items for cottage industry here so what would you advise I should do? I have an area to grow them but not a commercial kitchen. Any feedback would be awesome thanks!
nice man , nice.
Great job bro like that you live in El Paso I live in West Texas too
Im in Kansas now but i sold my operation in el paso and its still running there
Where did you learn to grow mushrooms
Where did you get your startup spores? You said you bought a grow kit, where is the best place to get one?
Quick google search will have you on your way!
Cuales son las dimensiones de las bolsas?
Urban farming. Why not, just work through the learning curves.
Brother! You're videos are incredibly helpful! I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I'm passing through your area in about 2 weeks. Any chance I could help you out in your shop to pick your brain for a bit?
Shannon Grady I offer a hands on class if you would like training. Email me at myersmushrooms@gmail.com for more info.
Didn't know M&M was into mushrooms...not the edible one anyway.

I much appreciate the info, as I wish to be fully informed before I begin my new hobby. Unfortunately the music is much louder than the needed audible info.
Thanks anyway bro-heem...
Psilocybe is perfectly edible, idk what you're talking about.

Nice!
I came here to learn to grow the trippy shit
Hey I'll refer you to a mate that sells them very reliable and ships discretely bought from him a couple of times.
👆👆
Nice love from denver!
You look a lot like "Driving on salvia" host Eric.
What about legalities are there permits or anything like that needed?
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?
Im a few months into starting my own mushroom farm. I just noticed that you have already taken the Name I was going to use. I wonder if were related, and I wonder if you are above suing a possible relative for creating a Myers mushrooms in southern Louisiana.
Kiefer Myers 😂
Brilliant..same setup in the UK?
Great Videos, I’m doing the same thing as you, I’m in Cali, I would love to take a class. What do you use as an exhaust fan? And humidifier? What would you recommend? I’m growing in a small 6x10 room, also you sterilize all those bags in a pressure cooker?
Thanks
What device do you use to measure co2?
I am retiring soon. I am seriously thinking about a mushroom grow. THEN I saw you here on line. One question in addition to other problems...How hard is it to prevent mold and bacteria? Many others on line are having all sorts of problems?
El Paso?? is that a larger city?? I'm sure you are not the only mushroom farmer in the area, did you face a lot of rejection in the beginning??
Is there a link to your starting chamber video?
Do you use cooler or air-conditioning unit to your mushroom chamber? Window type? Split type? What do you advice?
Would you say an indoor hydroponics grow tent would be a good for starter mushroom grower as "flowering room" or would it not be necessary?
I wouldn't mind giving mushroom growing a try. But that startup cost. Oof.
WHat about, licenseses, health certificate, bank account, fictious name? Can you explain all of this seem no one ever mentions it.
Most states don't require a license, not until you deal with processing the mushrooms. Bank accounts are free and credit cards want to literally give you money and a huge line of credit more then you'd ever normally get. File your company with your state, like $100.
@@MyersMushroomsFarms what does that mean, "processing" the mushrooms. Are you saying that in general you do not need any license or health certificate to sell to resaurants or at fleamarkets?
@user-xb1ht4py2v it's not until you get to distribution level that you might be required MGAP, GAP, Organic for fresh produce. On the processing, chopped, canned, dried, extracted and any processed goods all needs licenses and process approval. We have a USDA/FDA inspected processing facility so we can legally ship out of state and country even.
@@MyersMushroomsFarms Thanks that helps.
okay I had some eletical issues that need addressing due to my automation setup , and and I did a trial run with Oyster mushrooms, unfortuatey the hmidifyieer kept blowing a fuse. So I did what I could to humidify manualy a few times a day maintain a a 75% humidity, in the environment but the micro environemtn It wad duitable at around 80-90%. Somehow I had an issued were my mycelium was lookgin good and fruiting was looking promising but something happened a dnmy beautify why Mycelium turned BLACK. is this the dangerous mold I am familiar with, with the exception of the extremely hazards mols and I am wondering if the entire bag all balck is one of those hazardious molds.
How i do what i do
*pops collar*
Thats right youve officially been pimped
That was amazing!
I will be getting 3 spore blocks Monday..Turkey tail, Lions Mane and Pearl Oyster
I plan to set up a 40 gallon aquarium to grow them in by the south wall of my kitchen floor. Can I grow all of them together in one aquarium? Or would 3 separate Rubbermaid tubs be better? How can I successfully grow them without all that equipment?
It's better to grow and fruit separately, otherwise you risk them fighting each other in a small space. For larger grow rooms, not aquariums, it doesnt seem to be an issue. Walmart sells rubbermaid totes for about 5 bucks a pop (there are usually two areas in Walmart that sell totes, with one area having more expensive totes than the other. Idk why this is, but all three of the walmarts near me do this)
Are you in El Paso, TX?
If I get jars and spores, can I just inoculate them and then put them in a heated humid tub?
Yes. You gotta make sure which temps and humidity.
What are the best/ most profitable mushrooms to grow ?

2.27kg £29.48
hey, i had this madness of an idea that might just be absurd..
since i dont have much space to grow i just wonder if you have or know anyone who have tried this direct method of growing
with these steps:
drying mushroom
sterillize the dried mushrooms
''Using the Dried Mushrooms As Substrate''
like is that even possible to use maybe 50% dried mushrooms and straw what ever to repeat the mycelium growth process.
since the dried mushrooms is already dead it might erase its original state and just be matter if that even makes sense.
I just moved down to El paso from Arizona I have shipping containers ready to set up for growing, do you have any contacts you can put me in touch with in the el paso/las cruces region
El Paso is already being supplied by Myers Mushrooms El Paso and then there are a few growers in Las Cruces supplying thr markets and chefs there. Andre might be able to supply you ready to fruit blocks if your interested. There may be some establishments on the east side to sell to.
Is there a notable smell ?

i dont understand how you can make any money when selling them for $8 a pound
You say your selling for 8-10 bucks a pound? Where are you located at? All I can get is like $2 a pound across the board.

@@MyersMushroomsFarms But what state? I'm in IL. Great channel btw.
Hey! You're back! You guys got unbanned! F' TH-cam!
Super curious about this business, but those numbers you guys guve arent very promising actually.. One needs to at least start with $6-$10k a month profitability in order to call it a business. Especially with current crap economy we have. Otherwise it's just a small side hassle.
I've been researching into how to grow mushrooms and discovered a fantastic resource at gregs mushroom grower (check it out on google)
So how much does it bring in per year?
depends on local market. I was making $1500-2k per month from the mushrooms, then another $200-300 from the backyard farm
if mark zuckerburg was normal
You have to read coran and judge it
Thank you.
Look up mush_trips on Instagram,he’s products works magically and professionaly treated.A friend recommended him to me.They've got shrooms and growing kits.
Is there any way you would do a video on a smaller scale production for at home consumption and not for whole sale. I am interested in growing for a hobby/ at home consumption.
Just stop at a pressure cooker. You wouldn't need a drum sterilizer. Everything else is the same. You can fruit on your counters in your kitchen or bathroom with a mist bottle
I also have my videos about totems. That's the lowest tek outdoor method to grow.
@@MyersMushroomsFarms Can you make an example video of a setup for home growing?
James Haaksma, go for it dude. I just did it out of curiosity after success with tempeh making for my family consumption. Bought two pressure cookers from estatesale, 5 small plastic baskets from dollar store, clear trash bags big enough to hold that basket in a tent and use my old humidifier for fruiting. I bought oyster mushroom dowel spawn from eBay and stored them in the fridge until I was ready with the straw sterilization. The first basket I put on the kitchen counter aborted fruiting because of not enough fresh air and humidity. So I moved the rest into the spare bathroom and introduced small fan to get air circulation going. The first basket came back alive with vigor and I managed one pound of mushrooms from it. The second basket I got nearly three pounds. It’s a fun hobby but I don’t think you can safe any money on electricity or time. Oh, I got the straw bale from Walmart and also co2 monitor.
@@neiloppa2620 watch my outdoor totem video
I like this video. Informative and getting me ready to grow mushrooms and microgreens
I'm very happy you made it back to you tube, you have been a great help in my mushroom growing experience
