This is like a masterclass and shared for free. Massive respect for this chill dude.
This. Many thanks for your generosity, I'm learning so much from your experience
Kinda wanna share some magic 🍄 with him. Probably you too 😂
Previous some steps skipped 😅
The way you are narrating whole process is awesome.
yeah he has a very chill voice, i feel like he stretches it a bit though so i always put his vids on 1.25
Wrong, way to long...
I have know idea why you produce these videos but I am so glad that you do. It is fascinating to see your large scale production! And your free content is very helpful for the new home producer. Your hard work making these is much appreciated.
You are so honest and passionate. I love your energy.
Right!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone as relaxed and so passionate and confident about a subject 🙏 inspiring ⚡️
finding a way to reduce the amount of plastic waste produced in this process sounds awesome, gonna spend all night seeing what all has been found on plastic-eating mushrooms up to this point. thanks for sharing ur wisdom man
You’re a brilliant teacher, thank you for such an excellent overview!!
It's weird how satisfying it is to see him creating all those identical neat clean block/bags of substrate and piling them neatly in.
Thank you so much for talking about the plastic waste. I've been looking into that. ✌
I just binge watched 5 hours of these videos! Very clear, open communication and very informative and helpful. Seems like a super cool dude, thank you for sharing the entire process. Blessings 🍄
I'm so grateful for your sharing of your work!
Great video! I really like that the mushroom growing crowd is willing to share and help others getting started in this hobby.
You're doing a great job, all around. Thank you.
Mike is incredibly talented and generous. I am so fortunate to have a free instructor with such great magnitude of knowledge. Thabk you southwest mushrooms
As always, thank you for Sharing the knowledge!
This is incredible. I just love the idea of this becoming widespread, which is why I think he's so willing to share their methodology. I don't exactly know how, but I think mushrooms will play an integral role in the longevity of our species. Mushrooms are the most efficient chemical factories on earth.
Bang on!
Had a magic mushrooms trip, it told me to start growing my own and spread its spores
It already did! :)
I haven't smoked weed or done psychedelics for 10 plus years but I would for sure get blazed with this guy.. Greetings from Portland Oregon
I love the videos and his narration is on point. I would love to start a new job and have somebody this well spoken, relaxed, and knowledgeable train me. Mushrooms are a new interest for me and I'm absolutely fascinated. Videos like this are priceless.
Mike your awesome, you have given me a retirement plan. Lots of work but keeping me active. Thank you

Hey,
Thanks for these vids sir. It's top of the class culture and great narrative on the process itself. Thanks for addressing the Plastic Bags issue with so much clarify and honesty. It is what is is. Thank you and keep the good work up. From Uruguay!
Amazing what you do, i look up to you very much!
Your words of encouragement are much appreciated. 🍄
Fascinating!!!
Thank you. Your videos are very helpful and informative
Going back and forth from this channel to Home Mycology and although obvious that they work in different settings they both pull Amazing yields and yet have completely opposite outlook on CONTAMINATION lol Love the videos keep them coming!
I’ve learned a lot from your videos. You do a great job.
this vid just saved me hours of serch time, great info team!
One of the coolest guys in the industry.
Enjoyed your video
Blessings To All Worthy Of Being Blessed
Yow! Love your content, because it answers my questions which the rest of the internet don't, thanks for sharing this wholesome knowledge.
I just keep watching you bro's just because! Awesome work mann 🤙
love your videos. Keep 'm coming..
I would enjoy seeing your innoculation process. great videos. a real professional.
Bro i freakin love you man! The way you narrate and explain everything, thats true passion! Thanks dude!!
Maybe he can't be all of our bosses. But he can be the spreader of boss knowledge.
you ar the 1, love you man!!!
I have learned a lot from you. I have 2 bags of oyster mushrooms fruiting and looking fantastic. Thank you
I love this guy!
This guy is awesome, great set up
I have a large space to set up cultivation, and intend to do so this by this summer. Your videos are extremely helpful. Would love to visit.
Man u truly have mastered your craft keep shining like the King u are
Thank you!
thank you! your videos are soooooooooo good.
God Bless Brother!
Thank You Brother !
Nice interesting information presented with a calming voice.
cool vid. super good made! congrats.
bro just found this channel. so dope love your content!
You a real one.
Excellent. You are very good at what you do and I am learning so much. Recent abrupt retirement meant I was bored. You changed that.
Love your video’s and all the information you offer. Just started my own automated Martha tent and loving the results. Can you recommend a steriliser? I only have a presto PC and looking to expand. Keep up the great work! And best of luck in your ventures 👍
The way he figured out how to combine and achieve all the various fruiting conditions into a 3 chamber 3 parameter set up..... to grow ALL. BAMF bro. Grows hard
Great video. How long do you have to run the atmospheric sterilizer to sterilize grain spawn? thanks
awesome video and explanation of process thumbs up and subbed :)
Pestalotiopsis Microspora (plastic eating mushroom)
“In 2012, students from Yale University discovered a rare species of mushroom that can eat plastic. The mushroom is called Pestalotiopsis microspora and it comes from the Amazon rainforest. The fungi are capable of surviving on plastic alone!”
Pestalotiopsis is not a mushroom, it's a micromycete fungus, meaning that its spore bearing structures are microscopic - it doesn't produce fruiting bodies, or mushrooms, hence it's a fungus, but no mushroom 🦠🧫
@@sandroshanidze6060 there are actual mushrooms than can break down plastics now now? I heard that a lot of oyster mushrooms can pull it off but can’t actually survive on plastic alone
@@beatthefood It takes 400 years for plastic to break down naturally. Not for the fungus to.
As you talk about misinfo. 😂
Loocking forward to aply all that im learning, this channel feels like a master class on growing mooshrooms, it's genius!!

Thank you for talking about the plastic issues. It is a huge concern. If we could fast forward 10 years into the future, I'll bet you're the one that finds an answer.
I wanna hop on the train of getting paid per pound of plastic my mushrooms eat
In about 3-5 years we'll see at least a 60% drop in population worldwide, mostly from the continents that use the most plastic in their consumer goods ie: North America, and Europe. So this won't be an issue in the near future.
Thanks for info
Awesome!
Dude you are awesome!
Your talented. Thank you for providing an insight into your methods and understanding. I feel like Barney Rubble compared to where you are at. I appreciate it, thanks!
One of my heroes
This is a thoughtful video. How do you feel about the cold water lime pasteurization process for sterilizing wood blocks?
I love this! I would like to offer a tip though. I sell fertilizer online and we do a similar packaging process on a little bigger scale. I would recommend not handling things twice, fill a bag, pack it down and stack it straight into the sterilizer. You are effectively handling the bags 2-3 times and that is a lot of extra time. Not as clean perhaps.. But handling things multiple times will take years off your life, haha. Trust me, handling packages is my life and this bothered me. With that being said I probably have no clue what I'm talking about and I truly dig the videos! Great stuff, just something to consider, small businesses can always use more efficient processes and its a fun evolution! My wife laughed at me as I watched you, I had to say something. :D
Very impressive. Can't wait to be at your level!

I recently started watching you iam from india all I can say is you are so inspiring for me I am new in this Its not that I wanna do business I just enjoy it I love gardening it's very new and interesting concept indore farming I have seen many videos on youtube but never seen them doing like u can I ask you a question from beginning to fully grown mycelium many people say that you have to make a hole in the bag but u just easily make it possible without making holes in first 15 days I am pissed from fly and larva and I see u do it pretty easily I sterilize substrate properly but it's still not enough can u make a full video of beginning to fully grown mycelium oyster bag thank you sir for inspiring me love from india😘😘😘😘😘
how long do you compost your sawdust/substrate before bagging? thanks for the reply
Hi. I've been watching your videos, and I'm very grateful for all the work and passion you've shared! It's been pretty inspiring to see you sweet brother, Bless.. _/\_
Could you please share, where I could find the atmospheric steam sterilizer you show on the video? I see it's about a 200lt tank which is quite optimal.
You are awesome!! Nice Video! What brand is your atmospheric steam sterilizer?
HI, THANK YOU 4 ALL THIS KNOLEDGE , GROWING MY 1ST BATCH, IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD YET, ONLY 3 DAYS, BUTH THE WHITE OYSTERS ARE GROWWING IN A DIFFERENT SPOT THAN THE X SPOT WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO CUT THE BAG AT, SHOULD I CUT THE BAG WHERE THE MUSHROOM IS GROWING ?
SGT.PENTRITE
0:39 sounds like "i just got this new awesome toy talk" :3
Do you mean pasteurization for you atmospheric steam barrels? or are the actually sterilizing at those times and temps?? nice equipment and thanks for the vid :)
So much knowledge here, what brand/model are these atmospheric steam sterilizers?
I wonder if it would be at all feasible to make the bags out of mushroom/mycelium plastic (I think mostly chitin)? I know there are companies experimenting with making other plastic products out of mycelium but I'm not sure if it would be feasible to make them totally clear or not. Would you really need to wash a reusable container if you were going to pasteurize them anyway?
Southwest Mushrooms videos are the best mycology lab porn I've come across so far. Everything just looks so damn legit.
Thank you for this much insight!
I am a lab-mycologist turning to small-scale commercial production in the country of Georgia - there is a growing demand for Shiitake here and I'm involved in opening the first mushroom farm specializing in anything other than A. bisporus or P. ostreatus - so we are basically going to be pioneering Shiitake and Enokitake and King Oyster here.
If I may ask for an advice, would you recommend that we get a 30, 40 or a 50 liter big steam pressure cooker and work with that? Your old allamerican is what, 20 litres big?
I am thinking that if we can get an autoclave that sterilizes 10 bags of which we'll get ~18 of fresh mushrooms, than our goal of very modest production volumes could be fulfilled without that optimal but expensive and harder to ship from overseas atmospheric sterilizer.
Hi there me also working on king oyster and Ganoderma...can I have your email or contact ....or any other option to contact ...
Do you build those sterilizers or buy them pre made? I've been selling mushrooms at farmers markets here in Oregon for the past 5 years. I'm still using 55 gallon drums on propane burners, but they are a nightmare to maintain temp and water level. Any help getting my hands on one of those would be appreciated.
Do you wrap the bulk substrate bags with anything when going into the all American pressure cooker
Thanks for the video, so easy-understandable for even not-so-myco-techy guy like me :) one question, is it ganoderma lucidum on the ultimate photo?
Another great video, is it possible to build one of the atmospheric sterilisers?
@@justinlangley9529 Cool, I'm very tempted! Thanks
Can you tell me about the petcock with a hose on the AllAmerican pressure canner? Where did you find it? Or did you make it?
Are you closing the bags before putting them into the pressure cooker? Or are they just folded? If I wanted to do this at home - could I place them into the pressure cooker with the ends sealed up?
Great video can you use a autoclave for this process ?
What do you think a start up cost would be about for someone wanting to do this as a start up? Obviously everything you've got going is scalable down right? I would like to do this in Oregon.
good job bro
@southwestmushrooms did you make that sterilizer or is it gear u found on the market? would love deets!
Thank you for your shared experience . Where can I buy sterilizer like that?
did my first Lions Mane grow and cook...folks you gotta feel the power, literally 20 years younger overnight...I sauteed the mushroom in garlic and butter and made a nice french bread sandwich with it. Opa
Mushrooms are what people call "brain food" right?? 🧠
That is so awesome. I want to get into the science of the different mushroom strains and all of that.!
@@kemosabe7815 yeah, this guys vids got me started...growing, searching outside, learning...I think the mushrooms create a better digestion of your food and the glucose level improves which is what your brain needs as fuel...much like fungus in nature...it's a "digester" of the wood, etc
Paul Stamets is the real authority on all things mushroom, check out his vids
Thanks for the video. How large (in gallons or litres) are your steam sterilizers?
This may seem like a stupid question but are the bags of substrate sealed before the go into the steamer or simply folded over?
does the type of substrate make a difference to the flavor or medicinal effects ?
Love your work where do u buy the big bags ? Greatzzz
Hi! whether spore green molds (trichoderma) are destroyed by atmospheric sterilization. How much time?
He makes me wanna take care and proper procedure in everything I do😏...like folding clothes carefully and putting them in a nice neat pile.
Can you use an insta-Pot for smaller batches like Mason jars?
Truly biodegradable 🙏
Love these videos and am learning so much but can’t help but feel incompetent during and after watching them 😞
Hey guys, in the atmospheric sterilizer how much time would you put the grain?
On the pressure steam sterilizer do you let it sit at 15 psi with the fire on for 2 hours or with the fire off for 2 hours.
