hes got the greatest leader heart man
I like hearing the stories of what worked and what didn't. Those are very helpful. Great video.
Mike you made that bag folding look a lot easier than it is!
Looking good mushroom Mike! I like seeing your personality come out bro don't hold back
The photo montage at the end is a nice touch
Great to see more of the crew behind the scenes of the mushroom magic!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. I do so enjoy seeing all that goes into producing the beautiful mushrooms you grow there. Also, you do a wonderful job in explaining all that goes on in the different processes. Thanks again!
Awesome video!! Would love to see more of you're whole crew working together! So wholesome.
I want to be a mushroom man one day 🍄
Then be a mushroom man today
You are what you eat.
Aww, im sure youre already a fungi ;)
Me too kid
I finally saw you really smile. This video was full of life. Thank you h uploaded, it was really good to see.
Good to see you with your staff around. Love your vids. Thank you
I’m glad his work and passion, what he has established is being recognized.
I just love watching your videos, thanks for sharing your life's passion... I was never into mushrooms (don't like the texture in my mouth) but you caught me GOOD when in a video you mentioned putting them into bread... I'm deeply into making sourdough bread and I'm ALWAYS on the hunt for variations to recipes for my clients or just to try out something new 🤗... again thanks soooooo much and lots of love from Trinidad and Tobago 🥰
Just my opinion. This is best shroom education anywhere.
I love your channel so much. The clarity that goes into breaking down the whole process is amazing!
OMG. Just watching from germany and love the spirit of all da dies.
good to see you have help with all that this time !!
Thanks for the tour... I used to have a cement mixer for mixing soils... sold it when I moved... Now I have another reason to get a new one.. lol :) cheers!
For anyone who is wondering what they use as a funnel when bottling.
You have to look for a suction hood, which you can find at Ventilation accessories or welding accessories.
There are different sizes and shapes.
Just look for duct reducers at Home Depot or Lowes. Most will be round at top but they may have some 'transition' pieces as well to go from square to round. Self tapping screw into some pvc and you're set.
ha I always like to see how other people do the mundane parts of mushroom production. makes me appreciate my mixer and bagger, and makes me want to do a batch for once in my life, thought I'm jelly you have access to soyhulls
Rad to see this part of the process. Learning mycologist here 🙏
I love hearing about your original process before moving into a warehouse. Did you use a normal pressure cooker to sterilize the 10lb plastic bags? How much did it cost to upgrade to the industrial sterilizer that you're using now??
Dude, your videos are amazing. Very detailed and direct. Much appreciation from someone on the path towards having a lab! much love bro!
Thanks for posting all these videos. Really inspiring.
I just started some gourmet. I think watching these vids helped.
Awesome team work 👍🏼
Enjoyed your video
Blessings To All Worthy Of Being Blessed
Very interesting to see this process
Bro idk if you’ll ever see this comment but you used to come into my place of work for Cheese Veggie sandwiches all the time.. I’m a blonde dude with glasses. I was just scrolling through my TH-cam feed and recognized you immediately. Stoked to see you’re killin it bro!
I’d give up everything to move to AZ and work with this team.
Michael, please give a shout out to your hard working crew. They are dedicated, or so it seems.
Looks like your living your dreams man hopefully one day I can be as big as you and we can all prosper in this community 🤙🤙
What an awesome work environment!!
i love you guys, yall are truly inspiring
Ya'll should add some sort of guard to the top of mixer or a emergency shut off thats close by in case someone gets pulled into the machine
I love these videos so much. You have inspired me Mike! I hope to one day build up to an operation like this. So cool seeing how things work there. Thank you!
You rock. Tight work!
Super appreciate sharing your POV, respect
Very wholesome team :)
Keep making the videos. We just like to see you do your thing. Thanks for the content brother
Stoked on your vids mate.
Keep them up.
Love from Australia
And I thought it was all about keeping them in the dark and feeding them bulls**t 🤣🤣🤣
I love these videos and the way Mike describes the processes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We are currently starting a mushroom farm in Denmark and we really love your videos! Now looking for a cement mixer!
Hey
Love watching the process!
Moved the mixer I think. just got done watching video of the mixing you did solo
Thanks for the video but I have a question. What do you do with those bags when they are already harvested? Do you just throw them away or recycle?
Very inspiring. Hope to be in your position one day! Thanks for sharing your success!
Hello, thanks for all your work.
With what could i substitute Soy bean?
The point is to bring Nitrogen and "Sugar" (glucose) in the substrate?
Mush thanks for all the videos
you are the man.
Hi Mike.. Really a good job Man. Planning to start one on small scale in India. Do you supply spawn?
What a nice boss
You know these videos will be good to teach the new staffs.
Good content as always!
These videos serve well as promo, public education, and employee training 🤝
I love your work style, good luck with
How many blocks fit in sterilizer?
Inspiring!
I am making one of my own thanks brother , goals
Omg I love these videos!
Very knowledgeable .. with your knowledge what can you tell some of us about morel mushrooms .. and if you've ever talked about them can you point me towards the video .. please and thanks ..
Hello Mike from Ireland. I'm a big fan of your videos. I am hoping to ask you a question about the hydro tents you use. Do you have water run onto the floor from condensation on the walls of the tent due to the high humidity environment? Or are the tent floors also waterproof and not just reliant on the WP floor insert that usually comes with hydro tents? Thanks for all your inspirational videos
It seems I have the same issue in Ireland, with condensation.
In his cleaning video he references how, why and humidity of the tents, the brand is Gorilla Grow afaik.
Wholesome A F!
Can you tell more about humidifer machine? How to assemble a similar one?
The HVAC with the PVC as funnels, is genius
I was doing some research on moisture content and some web sites say it should be 50% to 70%, which seems like a large range. I did a batch recently where it was close to 70% and I still couldn't squeeze any water out. Does it matter the type of substrate in terms of what field capacity might be? Also do certain mushrooms like more or less moisture? Thanks
how do you source your wood? i almost want to run micro trees, to plane them, the give the microbes to the spot to break down the dense roots. at least you know its a clean as your standards are before you autoclave or pressure cook whatever, i do want reshi.
Good
Awesome video! Are you sterilizing your substrate and not pasteurizing? If so why or why not?
I live in Michigan but this lowkey makes me want to move, lol. Looks like a great place to work/great team! I'll be working on starting some lion's mane on my own soon at least - thanks in large part to these videos too I might add!
Loving all the videos that you-guys are sharing, thank you!! What is the exact size of the bags that you use?
Could you link where you get your growbags from? 😊
I would love to work here
Love that bag filling rig! Where do you get the triple elbows at? I've never seen them at H.D.
Homie has a mycological black belt.
I would be interested to learn if you can recycle your substrate after the the final blooms? In other words, what happens to the substrate after it is used?
You had masters in mycology
How much are the oak pellets?
I'm thinking of entering the shiitake business in a couple of years, but so far, hardwood pellets seem to be prohibitively expensive...
Hey Michael, I am in Brazil, we do not have Oak, birchwood, or any of the woods you guys use. We have eucalyptus, hay and soybean hulls as waste, what do you know about eucalyptus sawdust?
Wish you were my neighbour. I would take that mushroomcompost right of you hand 😍
I just found out about the medicinal use of lions mane mushrooms. I want start growing some for my personal use. Can I use oak substrate blocks to grow them or another hardwood?
I found a Lions mane growing in the woods on a dead tree. Can I take it and use to start growing on a block?
Whats the hvac duct piece for filling bags called? I tried finding it at the home depot and no luck
Sweet

Great work! Do you use that horizontal autoclave (model STS-1) 6:00 and is it worth it?
Hey Mike isn’t it a safety hazard to have the industrial mushroom sub mixer on while you pour your contents inside? Seems like a injury hazard if someone gets fatigued while pouring 40-50 pounds of substrate. Nonetheless , cool rig and setup 😎
I've been researching and looking to see how many,if anyone grows in my area. No-one close. So what tips would you give me to get started? I'm so interested in starting my own business
QUESTION: Do you utilize any special lighting in your grow tents? Are you using LED lights? Have you experimented with different color (red and blue) grow lights?
Where do I find Oak pellets? I cannot find them
I come for the A-1 mushroom content.
where do you buy your block foliage bags?
anyone know where to find the metal part of the funnel used to make scooping into bags easier? UK based
Is there a reason you don't seal the bags before sterilization?
I've been bringing up, and have been really surprised from moringa.
My grain spawn comes today :)
Amazing work! Where do you source your soybean hulls? I can't seem to find any vendors in the Southwest.
Why the inclusion of the soybean hull? It’s a discard from the crush and the bean and the oil press. What benefit does the soybean hull grant to the substrate?
Nutrition and Bulk … I suppose … Nitrogen.
A place I would literally pay to work at.
Anyone know the size of the ice scoop he’s using?
are you dude that did militaris first? how do you do your militaris?
i can't find harwood,only pine and eucalyptus in my area. it serves?
You gotta research first don't just take them. I got good recommendations from @mycojakkie on IG
