I was having so much suicidal thoughts 10 years ago as a teenage, also suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. I got diagnosed with bipolar, spent my whole life fighting bipolar. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
You can tell this guy's a really intelligent dude. I don't think just anyone could have done this. He was extremely quick and eloquent with his responses. He was happy to share everything he could without withholding anything. He was born for success.
Anyone can grow a mushroom, not everyone can make a business around it. Lots of hippies grow mushrooms for certain reasons, so that gave me confidence to try growing oyster mushrooms.
The presenter is consistently not listening to what he's being told. The grower said they'd spent time on small farms, but the presenter keeps hammering home that he had no experience at all in farming. This isn't true. Later, the grower is explaining that the fruiting bodies are the mushroom trying to continue the circle of life but that we then harvest it, breaking the cycle. The presenter responded by making a circular gesture with his hands and claiming that it was all part of the cycle; the exact opposite of what the grower had just said.
Yeah, I'm only watching this because the farmer is awesome. I will not be subscribing to this channel however. Because this presenter / interviewer is not worth the time.
It's so great that someone starts with "who is your customer" and "who is your competition" and "what do they not target". This is finally a solid foundation.
This is really cool. My niece sent me this video to watch. Shes a young entrepreneur and is interested in growing mushrooms. I just called the business and spoke with Sundown. We will be going down to see their operation once they set up their tours. This is a very interesting business.
One thing to consider when building a mushroom grow setup is the cannabis industry has added countless products for growing that cross over into mushroom growing such as grow tents, climate control, etc
Automated mushroom cultivation with climate controlled spaces came long before the cannabis growing industry we see today. If you look into this technology’s history, particularly in the Netherlands, it’s pretty wild how advanced this sector has been for decades. I think the technology that has advanced more recently is at the hobby scale.
The secret to a business like this to thrive and not only survive; they’ve found a way to provide Value outside of the product they sell. You buy a Shroom but you get Knowledge and practical advice along with it.
Who can say! I’m dyslexic so I often have the same issue. Sentences come out back to front and need a reshuffle and check for grammar. It can be very tiring, mistakes happen when it gets missed! Yes I rearranged this 😂
Sundown story is a brilliant example of how passion paired with strategic market understanding can create a thriving agribusiness. His focus on direct relationships and quality product is a valuable lesson for any entrepreneur looking to cultivate a niche market successfully. 🍄
Oyster mushrooms recipe: Slice the oyster mushrooms and some red onions (thinly), salt and pepper them, pour olive oil, fresh basil, slices of Pecorino Romano, toss again, knead with your fingers. Let this rest for a bit. Get a piece of Lavash, toss on this beautiful mix, bake in 425 oven until bread is brown and crispy. You might bring the oven heat down a bit after about 10 minutes. Depending on the size and shape of your Lavash the center may stay wet so give it some extra time. Yummy!
Really cool how the mushroom business works. I just recently got into hunting and possibly growing my own mushrooms for personal use so this video came in clutch.
15:03 I am glad to know that the "WILD Mushroom Bruchetta " isn't really wild. That would be a lot of stress on nature. Your product is amazing. Much Success to You.
baked fish with literally any type of fish, my fav is with trout or cat, and literally any type of mushroom and dill, add lemon grass and or kefir leaves for an extra punch barely any salt and pepper. too e z too good. whatever white and meat mushroom you use will suffice but try and add black wood ear for a crunch factor, soak then Julieann them. shwoa you can mix it up and stuff bell peppers or put it in a boat and bake or steam them wrapped in banana leaf.
I learned how to do this in mycology, at fourth year in college. Great teachers. Replicated this once again. Marketing and timing is like with agriculture.
Great mushroom story. I live in a big city and have property. I've thought about trying something like this along with bok choy and Asian greens. Stuff that doesn't ship and commercialize very good
I'll probably never grow mushrooms, but I find these types of videos interesting. Kinda nuts and bolts of the business along with actually growing them.
Who got a mushroom farmer, which could be their company, that sells at the Everett Washington Farmers market, and by far my favorite is the lion's mane. It's easy to work with, very thick, no stems, and Cooks great with garlic butter and or olive oil and any herbs. Finish off the mushroom with a red wine to add a nice flavor. The mushroom I'm curious to see is the one that takes over insects and makes them climb up trees to release spores apparently the zombie mushroom is very delicious and now it is capable of being grown commercially.
Lion's mane is good for soaking up broths, so soups, stews, etc. would work great. There's a restaurant near by my place (in Malaysia) that does a ginger soup with lion's mane mushrooms. I've also had them deep fried.. that works too, but it's a better eating experience in broths.

Nice video full of useful info. It’s also very sad that the mushroom culture (no pun intended) in this country is only finally starting to catch on. I grew up in France and in my region, fall and spring are mushroom frenzy time for those who know and love them. You go in the forest for a nice walk with a basket and look for them. You pick the ones and leave the other ones so they can spread their spores and make more. When I came here in FL 20 years ago, all I could find is the tasteless white ones and it took years for the porcini ones to show up on the shelves. People just don’t do this here and it’s so sad. They’re so good in stews, omelets, butter garlic and fresh parsley and so on. 😋
I use think about doing a mushroom farm too, but it takes too much work imo.. I went into the Herbs industry and nursery herbs. As that is a pretty higher demand all year round. It's great to harvest to sell to customers and also sell some nursery herb plants to those who wants to grow themselves a small one.

Awesome interview, great business and tons of tips in there for anyone :) Loads of shroom farms exploded under "Covid" and are thriving now. Congrats to Sundown and Chesed Farms on being another success story of such. Shrooms start from home (or anywhere) nature, lends that accessibility, making them a perfect choice for anyone, even just for personal or friends consumption for added healthy local nutrition, or to expand up to business level. Would love to see a follow up video on the Microgreens side of Sundowns operation and if he combined them at all, in terms of Mushroom CO2 pumped out to boost Microgreen production, as some farms in theory have done.

Oyster Mushrooms are my favourite. Steamboat with signature dipping chilli sauce or stir fried with ginger slices oyster sauce. Don't know if Westerners know how to eat oyster mushrooms this way😊
Mushroom growing requires a huge amount of sterile plastic which is generally not re-usable due to contamination issues. I wonder what is done with the tonnes of waste plastic.
Every industry has tons of plastic waste. The carbon footprint on mushrooms is far lower than any other industry so you have to weigh the pros and cons. Nothing we do right now is perfect. However, mushrooms offer a path to a better future.
35:58 “this little guy right here will make 60 bags of substrate”. Whoa. I’ve been using 1 quart of myceliated grain for a single 5lb substrate bag. Would want to know how much grain is he putting on his substrate, and how long does it take to take off?
Over time, they may become less vibrant in flavor and more fibrous. To maintain the best quality, it's often recommended to harvest mushrooms at their peak and to manage the growing environment to keep conditions optimal for each harvest.
When you have a colonized block, it is only one mushroom so the one that produces mushrooms is the sole mushroom species. There are also no poisonous ones that you can grow on purpose or accident
How is the substrate (media mix) sterilized? That step was mixed, from the baking, straight to the inoculated media in the grow room. I personally spend way too much time pressure cooking each bag, to sterilize the media. Great batching solution for the media by the way. Sundown, do you sterilize using a microwave, or pressure cooker, or ..??
Was wondering about that myself. “One little jar for 60 bags”? I use on quart jar of grain for a single 5lbs substrate bag. I wanted to ask whether he “expands” the grain (does he use it to inoculate other grain jars), or he reallly uses insane sub:spawn ratios, like 100:1.
what kind of environment does Sundown utilize for his grow room? I usually see foggers, filters, environmental controllers ect. I didn't really see any of that in his room. So i am just getting into growing mushrooms. My brother and i have a 5x4x2 grow tent with a 4 level metal/coated rack set up with a fogger, and we are also using myco bags. Any advice would help. We inoculated our bags 4 days ago and are starting to see very small amounts of mycelial growth.

Does the flavor or quality of the mushroom diminish with successive harvests?
Over time, they may become less vibrant in flavor and more fibrous. To maintain the best quality, it's often recommended to harvest mushrooms at their peak and to manage the growing environment to keep conditions optimal for each harvest.
They should make a honest business journey channel that actually record failures and not just success
You do it, there you go I agree people exaggerate and lie so much.
phenomenal , I really want to learn this only that I am afraid I may sell the poisonous one
When you have a colonized block, it is only one mushroom so the one that produces mushrooms is the sole mushroom species.
There are also no poisonous ones that you can grow on purpose or accident

love what u do. my only concern : growing mushroom in plastic bag is no sense. maybe they're special but otherwise it doesn't make sense
While it may seem unconventional, there are specific techniques and materials used in this process that ensure the mushrooms thrive.
Every industry has tons of plastic waste. The carbon footprint on mushrooms is far lower than any other industry so you have to weigh the pros and cons. Nothing we do right now is perfect. However, mushrooms offer a path to a better future.
