If you want to increase your yield, wear plaid :)

Without meaning to be confrontational, but take a moment to look into the mushroom growers. This guy, who seems great btw, is very much a prime example. Almost every supplier/grower is very open and willing, even eager, to help others grow also. Mushroom growing is the least competitive and contentious of all interests I have, of which gardening is one. There is much more anger and discontent in gardening groups than you find in mushroom growers.

I am so impressed. The hygiene, the science behind it. The equipment. The layout. The process. These people are going places!

I loved this video. Best wishes to you in Puerto Rico and to Justin and his wife at Longview Mushrooms. I appreciated when Justin said, “you eat a piece of the earth and it becomes you”. That is spiritual as he also said. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. ❤❤❤

FYI, you could also just use the kits as starters for different strains and then create a library of spore prints. Some strains will even keep going for a really long time without contamination if you carefully use techniques like grain to grain and spawning to substrate. Syringes with distilled water are very easy to make and agar isn't too difficult. Some strains can thrive outdoors too. Choir is your best friend, it fends off potential contamination from most common causes and it sets a solid foundation for mycelium to colonize. I've used it for a whole chamber once and it worked great. If you don't want to go that far you can simply put a layer of it on top of your substrate.

This guy is the Steve Irwin of plants and fungi... Love his enthusiasm.

This is great buddy! We met at my booth at the farmer's market (Mohave Mushrooms). I am still doing my thing out here, but moved to growing to make supplements !

It's super easy to buy the bags like this here in Thailand everywhere. Makes it easy for anyone to grow and sell mushrooms

As far as growing green goes, this has to be up there with one of the most energy efficient, food production systems I’ve ever seen!

been a GYG viewer for almost a decade, culinary mushrooms are great and nutritious for sure. What I really want to hear is your experience is psilocybin mushrooms John! I recently got into microdosing using tmt pure mushroom capsules, 250mg of pure magic mushrooms each every other day. My anxiety and my depression literally vanished after a few months of usage

Outstanding video and interview. It really shows how anyone with dedication and effort can make a successful business. Very impressive!

I am a peasant when it comes to food. I like the simple button mushrooms. Some of it is because my teeth, (that I have left) cannot chew as well as when I was younger. But I also like the taste of brown button mushrooms.

"supposedly" if you dry mushroms in the sun it increases the vitamin D content 50X, and it's a great way to store the mushrooms that can later be hydrated, or ground into a powder with a coffee grinder.

Wow. I live in Kentucky and we have a ton of varieties that grow naturally. NOT sure what is edible. Trying to educated on those. Love this video!

Thanks so much John and Justin! - Terrific interview. Justin, your hearts in the right place. Many blessings and God keep you safe when the big quakes come to the West Coast.

Justin IS the new mushroom Industry! I'm very adamant on wanting to taste 'outside' when I eat mushrooms so I was never a fan of indoor farms; this interview definitely inspires me to reconsider though. Much love to you both :-)

Protect this man at all costs

You are The Best! I have been a subscriber for years. Best video yet! I will be contacting this man and growing my own shrooms! Thanks!!!

Look on KZfaq... There are many farmers showing the entire process including taking wild specimens and cultivation indoors. Just FYI I've been growing mushrooms at home for over a year. Fun but not for me to be a full time growers. My neighbors and family get my extras... Also, you can grow mushrooms like Wine cap that do well outside. Have a great day.

This is the best educational video on growing mushrooms/starting a mushroom farming business, that I've watched on KZfaq.

I've never been more motivated to grow shrooms than after this !

It is absolutely beautiful how people talk so many things about psychedelic and magic mushrooms too.. Everyone focused on how magic mushrooms can change and also save lives.. I haven't try it but I deep down I really what to try it.. just looking for a reliable source..

As a cultivator myself it's great 2 see a home started company beat the odds and grow. No pun intended Ps nice to see the good old All American PCs beautiful experiment

I just wanna say thank you, you have been so dedicated to this channel for so long

Thanks for the video I was able to quit illicit drugs for years all thanks to Psychedelics, really happy to see this kind of awareness to the public

This video is truly life changing. Anyone in SC

I love mushrooms SOOO MUCH!! It's my favorite non cruelty and healthy "meat"

Best to put in the extra variables, create your own spawn/bags, and then 10-20x+ while being able to do what they are doing as well. I'm not saying that this is not a great way to get started. But always strive to cut out a service like this ASAP and do it all yourself.

Very nice facility. Fascinating tour. Congratulations on the booming industry and during the "pandemic" years. Most impressive.

Super cool! But can’t say this strategy of selling blocks for fruiting is new. Also would argue that mushroom growers are quite open about their businesses

Thank you so much for sharing we always learn from you. We trying to go from hobby to a micro mushroom farm

When he said the spiritual value of food 🙌 that was beautiful 😍

First time ever watching this guy and i dont know why, but i like him. I like how excited he is.. thats how i am everyday growing my magic mushrooms.

your still around! this guy taught me how to make kombucha back when that video was a day old. wow. right on!

Absolutely inspiring video thanks a lot!

Hey hey! There's our Thor Bagger right off in the video!

Love this guys channel he is always finding great information

Always great to see your face and hear your voice, John. :-)

❤️ mushrooms 20:28 First time I have seen blue mushrooms

Those special blue mushrooms are blue oyster. Not really special, but very pretty.

Wow! You basically, can grow, basically, edible mushrooms basically in a home environment, basically.

John, would you be interested in interviewing Sunset City Mushrooms? My buddy grows medicinal mushrooms (the magic kind), theyve been in operation for over a year now and given the promising scientific positives of this medicine, I predict it will be fully legalized for therapy soon enough.

Love growing mushrooms, both magic and gourmet :))

Mushrooms ftw!

Do they use Glyphosate Free Soy and Oats ? I would buy them if they test for it since soy and oats are typically sprayed to dry out the grain in the field.

the 'It's way easier than growing from seed' comment is really misleading, once you have grain spawn it's an extremely simple task to grow it exponentially. I can only assume you know this and don't have your viewers best interests at heart. Hope you made lots of money.

Hope to get a grow bag soon!

Great video! Very informative and inspiring! Can’t wait to grow some!

Basically, a good tour of a mushroom facility, basically. I could basically start a drinking game, basically, requiring a sip for every time John says 'basically'.

The hardest part about growing to sell mushrooms besides the sterilization process, is finding buyers. Once you harvest, you have limited time before they're less perfect appearance-wise to sell fresh.

I would really like to get one of these tents and grow my own vegetables and shrooms.

How do you not have a million plus viewers.

great video, lots of information, greetings from Melbourne Australia

Grow red claw crawfish and what they eat in your garage . Think about it 1lb freshwater lobster in the same garage as your mushrooms.

The Fungus is among us 👍

30 days using wood and soybean pellets is very impressive. The pellets get so hot from the extrusion process they are practically already sterile. I'm less impressed with pressure cooker sterilization. I ran numerous batches that went to 25 psi for a 1/2 hour and afterward little tiny bugs would break out of the straw I was using as media. When I boiled the straw for an hour there were no bugs. Obviously the pressure cooker was somehow inadequate.

Wow wasn't expecting this

Loved the video & mushroom farm idea! Beat of luck to Justin!!

Really good content God bless you guys

mushrooms are as pretty as any flower.

I really want to do this! Where do I start?

They should also have a redundant genetic bank at another location unknown to anyone but those who need to know

Great Tour 😀🇦🇺

John i love what you do im a big fan but brotha you gotta go reorganize your playlists!

This is super great! Um, John, do you want me to iron your shirt? Oh, well, everybody loves you anyway ;)

John your the inspiration starter, you are a fisher of man.

What is the website to purchase the sterilized grain bags, coco/manure-media bags ?

Named varieties of Feijoas (pineapple guava) don't ship well, but taste delicious.

Just a quick question what happens to all the Spent growing material after the mushrooms have all grown out? Do they sell it at Market as Mushroom Compost?😊

You forgot the hydration of the grain, they dont put dry/non hydrated grain into the pressure cooker.

Amazing but my issue is with boiling up the PLASTIC bags with the oats. How is that healthy?????? There has to be other ways to sterilized the oats instead of poisoning the oats with melting plastic particles in them. I understand this is due to speed up the process and streamline it for mass quantities but is not healthy.

How can I contact the owner sir please?

Great video

Very good guys. Thanks…

Hopefully they restock their kits sometime. They've been out for a while.

Im a magic mushroom farmer in florida!

yes

I missed the details of sterilizing the bags. Will the container be filled up with boiling water? The bags would probably melt away. Could you give more details, please?

The liquid culture is not like seeds, it’s still like starter plants... the spores are like seeds, you would used a spore print or a spore syringe to inoculate liquid culture, tho for the less experienced you would probably have more success putting the spores directly on the grains vs making a liquid culture (liquid cultures contaminate easily and it’s often hard to see the contamination with the naked eye when it’s in liquid, on grain it’s a lot easier to see contamination)

The phone baloney know nothing know it all releases another crock of crap. He is very consistent.

Great video!

Thanks for sharing this info.

Very helpful..👍

When will your grow kits be on sale on your website? I’m interested in buying

Yes! I love this! 100!!

Thanks for this!

Great video. I'd like to grow in Florida. Do you offer virtual classes?

I would like a grow kit.

Awesome guys!!🥳👏

Strong video 💪

Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.

Gratitude
