Can someone with a little more....how do I put this lightly....sharpness of their mind, do the interview and tour next time? Maybe someone who at least seems like they passed a H.S. science class?
Where are based guys, i want to learn please 🙏
The short white chick and the black dude couldn't come across as much dumber for sure.
Already have my own oyster mushroom kit. That thing ia so easy to use.
Your hiring process must involve only your frat/sorority mates that have fallen on hard times, eh? We see you, USA Today, we see you.
"i just got into mushrooms out of nowhere" me too buddy, me too ;)
at 16 too ;)
Lol
@@entropic7768 lol
Magic
Hahaha
Oh my god. Science right? Wow. He was just, like, doing all this sciency stuff, like, using so many words I didn't understand, and then, like, the mushroom just grows. But the humidity ruined my hair. OMG riiiiight?
The hosts are so cringe. 🤮
Exactly. Guy is smart and driven obviously, but growing mushrooms is not that hard. They just want to make it seem that way. I've never done anything on a scale like this man, but I've had many successful mono tubs for my magic mushrooms. Anyone with a little time and patience can do it. Going to start doing Oyster and Shitake pretty soon, myself.
LMAO!! Nailed it.
"because I was learning a new vocabulary"
This is what I thought. I really hate idiots like the hosts.
Why does this seem like a parody on a documentary. The hosts make me so uncomfortable.
They're giving off an airhead/ignorant vibe on purpose - that might be it?
"I was like, you know, like sooo, like wowed! Ya know?!" Is this normal?
@@steevo101 Oh my gooood the humidity ruined my hair
yeh, it's because of the target audience this is aimed for...pretty much for old children who know nothing outside of socialising with like minded old children
@@steevo101 “So Scienceyyyy”. 🤮🤮🤮
It’d be a better view if they didn’t interrupt every 10 seconds with their trash commentary. 🤷🏻♂️
I wanted to know from the guy who is growning them, not from the blabbering attention seekers....
Its like watching a movie and getting an advertisement every five minutes. You can’t focus on the movie at all.
But then it would be too "sciencey"
was constantly on the brink of closing the video due to that voice. Even though it was fascinating. But god, that intonation really amplifies the stupidity...
I mean they’re nice but I get why this can be interpreted in a negative way
For anyone asking, the mushroom he gives his grandma is called Reishi (ganoderma lucidum)
NOTICE: Cubensis tent is off limits.
lmao..."THIS is how we actually make money running this business"
Azurescens patch is hidden in the flower bed
@@messyties you obviously missed the hollandia on a corner somewhere 😉
Yeah those are Pioppino/chestnut mushrooms (Cyclocybe aegerita) not Psilocybe mushrooms... please be more informed before you spread information that could get innocent people in trouble
@@calemheady3397 whoosh
Please stop saying mushrooms came from space. That is simply untrue, we share a common ancestor and they are more closely related to us than plants.
Cody'sLab didn’t expect to see you here Cody. How’s your mushrooms coming along
So you’re saying WE’RE from space?!
it's marketing .. its what click baiting and sound bite people do
Nonono, it did come from space, in the way that everything did. So the genes, and spores would have naturally developed from shit from space.
@@sivolb while its true that Earth (and everything on it) is made from "star dust", I think it requires a little bit more tactfulness to introduce this idea in this context. By starting your sentence with "no, it did come from space", you're practically inviting the less educated people out there to simply read your first sentence, and keep saying "mushrooms come from space".
I know this sounds "nit-picky", because you were probably just being sarcastic, but this is what is fueling the trend of Anti-intellectualism in the world right now. Sarcasm doesn't belong in an open forum discussion of science.
Thoroughly irritated by the airhead interviewer/reporter. Wish the interview could have been done with someone more knowledgeable and qualified.
Whould be definitely more interesting.
You're the kind of guy who used to complain to your parents that the only reason you were failing your classes was because the professor wasn't interesting enough. If you can't hack it through this video then I'm pretty sure you're losing your mind through the quarantine.
@@metaparcel but the reporters are really unintelligent seriously, they need to shut up and let the experts speak
idk I always find it fun to see someone so intrigued and excited to learn about mushroom. Even if they say something silly
@@flynnd6166 It's funny I don't use their intelligence or lack of intelligence as you put it as a barrier to me enjoying this video. The problem is not their intelligence (How did you measure it by the way?) but that their quirks and way of presenting were not up to snuff for you. In addition I'd rather look at it from the point of view that this was a video that was presented that may have been done by far better hosts but weren't and so I make do with what I was given. You didn't help create the idea, sell it to the producers or executives and do all the nitty gritty work to get this done. Appreciate what you have instead of having the time to bitch about what it could have been. Have you no idea the amount of behind the scenes work that is needed to put this together? You may have the right to bitch online about the smallest of details but it doesn't mean you're right. You get me?
You really need to ask harder hitting questions. For example - does growing mushrooms in grain impact their nutrition profile vs growing the way they often naturally do in wood or soil?
That is why he is growing them in oak saw dust.
Depends on the species you're growing. Some need wood some need grain etc.
But it’s soo sterile
You can also grow them from soaked hay.
This would have been a great video if weren't for all the hosts who knew nothing and really dug into not knowing anything. The mushroom guy was amazing tho.
He has a great UA-cam channel and is very knowledgeable and interesting.
Those hosts, on the other hand, 🤪🤷🏼.
The title should be, “Two Cheerleaders and Two Sheltered Guys Discover Earth”.
Brainless people shouldn't make videos. That's terrible.
@@ChrisPBacon-yz6nk what's his youtube channel? I don't feel like watching this through again if I missed it.
@@BankruptMonkey It’s Southwest Mushrooms. Lots of great practical content.
That guy seems chill. He's just doin his thing pickin mushrooms off bricks in his clean room
Kags _ hahah
Easy easy
He found a way alright to mass produce magic mushies and make a legit buck doing it on the side. Look at the guy, he looks and speaks like hes had a good few goldies in his time
He seems to know a lot about mushrooms that give you dreams, aka magic variety.
Golden teacher 👨🏫 was his name
All of these are of the legal variety
"the most rubbing alcohol I've used in my whole life"
2020: "Hold my Corona"
I was searching for this exact comment lol
I love mushrooms, southwest mushrooms, & of course mushroom mike. His mushroom knowledge is extremely rich
He was so impressive!
YT wants to feed me these videos based on my usage but it’s like the producers of this channel can’t tell how incredibly cringetastic these debutants are with their Valley girl euphemisms and “SO STERILE” contrivances.
Please, there are so many well spoken mushroom and cultivation experts, find someone who can make the viewer feel met in some way - these tarts make farming seem like they need to use the word sciencey - and that just alienates people who haven’t fallen prey to consumer American comatose.
It'a about what you might expect from a channel called "grateful". Bunch of LA bubble heads. I lived there once. Such morons
:)...Now THAT is a good comment! Amen...Their singsongy voices are like nails on a chalk board.
@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 "We’re a small team of creative humans based in downtown PHOENIX, ARIZONA, and you can get to know most of us through our videos. Our parent company is Gannett, [based in Virginia] who also runs USA TODAY."
So, in summary: you fabricate random tidbits of BS to justify your inability to make friends in a big city? Or perhaps as an arbitrary reason to shine a light on those shifty coastal ((elites))? Try some shrooms friendo, they may help to open your narrow, conspiracy-addled mind.
P.S. while the subject is fascinating, the presenters/hosts in this video are insufferable- yet you are somehow even worse. Congrats!
Hey cognitive, I hope you realize this style of “mini documentary” has become a popular trend. They scope out obscure careers/lifestyles and get 7s and above to run the course, laughing and giggling all the while. They’ll act very surprised and curious, all for us to inspect. It gets views. Younger people are vapid creatures. So I say, become red pilled. It’s better than this garbage.

damn straight!
I’m like a minute into this video “Extremely scientifically difficult,, sciency” 11/10 commentary 🙏
Wow, he certainly knows his stuff. What a brilliant and clean way to cultivate different mushrooms..
Thanks for tuning in, Eddie!
@@USATODAYLife Your welcome, such an amazing way to cultivate them...
I've heard a lot of tripping stories, and they are very exciting,I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I have been looking for a legit seller to buy from.
Yeah, I got mine from dr.chris345
On Insta
I have heard about him. Is he really legit?
How did it go? Is this person reliable? I’m in the same boat as you. I want so bad to try it.
Respect to Mike. Buy local when you can!
"Started growing mushrooms at 16"... psilocybe species...
That interest me too. Cosmic blessings to you 🕉🦋
i think that's how they all start
Well im 16 and i just became like he said really interested in them aswell, soon ill grow my first oyster mushrooms from a bucket
Pusherman
exactly like me, grew cubes at 16 lmao, now im going to start a gourmet business
I love it when people take their "criminal" hobbies and turn it to legitimate businesses ,good on you
Explain more about these criminal hobbies
Criminal sounds really dumb
they aRen't magic mushrooms
@@jasminewinfield3265 im 99% sure he started with growing magic mushrooms lol
He started with gourmet mushrooms. He risked his family's financial future by cashing in 401k and stock in order to bring his dream to life. That combined with serious dedication and very hard work, that's how Mike got started.
This is super interesting! I was going to question why it doesn't have lots of views yet. Can't believe it was uploaded today
We are hoping to shed more light on the growing industry of gourmet mushrooms :D Its a fascinating world or extremely unique looking and great tasting fungus!
@@USATODAYLife and that's great! I've only recently gained interest in actually eating mushrooms other than truffles.
@@jessicahickam5218 did you get to try chicken of the woods? That one is so intriguing to me!
@@jessicahickam5218 I unfortunately haven't found it yet but I really want to try it. People of Reddit go crazy when someone posts a picture of chicken of the woods so it's gotta be good.
@@jessicahickam5218 definitely keep me updated!
She’s trying to get that mushroom tip every week
I'd like to see his room with gold caps and relatives!
What was the name of the medicinal mushroom good for dreams?
Observe the difference between a man of average intelligence and an average jersey girl. She litterally doesnt get worlds like collonize, propagate, innoculate, mycelium, sterilize...
Putting things in a bag of sterile damp wheat and waiting proper time in proper conditions - jersey girl: this is so compicated!
Its like making tea...
She would get copulate.
This is why I love mushrooms. Easy to grow, very sustainable, delicious, and healthy. Great to grow during this pandemic.
I'm afraid this guy will become the first Clicker.
I got hooked on watching all of his chill tutorials on mushroom growing. It makes it easier to remember, and it seems like something anyone can do. But if you watch other peoples vids on growing mushrooms, they make it seem like you have to be very very smart . Lol
15yr old: mom, dad! I want to grow magic mu-
*cough* gourmet mushrooms!
This is the most chill farmer i have ever saw
Mushrooms are so fascinating. I only know of the grocery store varieties. Come to find out there are countless types and each of them looks so crazy different.
what mushroom is it that Helps your grandma with arthritis
No-one:
Grateful : *in valley girl accent* : "look how huge that is, it is bigger than my hand" 😂😂
Insert lenny face
That what she said😏🤣
Gee it’s biggest than my brain?!
I was so excited to make this video and Mushroom Mike did NOT disappoint!!! Love mushrooms now - alien food or not.
You are so cute 😍
I subscribed the channel for you
@@AliOpridai Oh, thanks! And thanks for watching!! :D
I subscribed too !Your chanel is excelent actually it's very good !The wonderful places you visit and wonderful topics you talk about you diserve millions of views (honestly).Great job !
Mushrooms look so bizarre in all of their forms yet somehow still taste so good!! 😁
Hi, does anyone know what the coral looking mushrooms were called? The ones he said were extremely medicinal and helps his grandmother
I wanted to know too!
My mom needs it. Also want to know how you make the tea?
@@emmiem3 I think I found it. Look up Antler Reishi
@@dedwards0117 Nice! thanks
@@emmiem3 You're welcome.
None of the questions asked are relevant. So basic and incompetent
Stop the smart act.
"the ones hes making look different" so that guy hasnt really seen a mushroom besides the white buttons they sell in stores and maybe portobellos.
Portabellas are white button mushrooms, exact species, different color phenotype.
Joshua McHarg...makes you wonder who appointed him for the job
I love how you can tell how he’s annoyed by them😂
Don’t align; he just seemed shy
please keep making videos on innovative growing. both this and the aeroponics videos were great. subscribed :)
Ah thanks so much! More coming at ya :)
0:19 aaah clearly you don't know about *Paul Stamets*
What kind of mushroom was the one used for arthritis?
Me: “Can we have Rosina Pansino?”
Mom: “We have Rosina Pansino at home?”
At home: these hosts
how do one starts it at 15 when you need such a sterile zone???
Pressure sterilize your substrate. Spray your hands, spray your jars, spray your bags. I have grown 12 different varieties for 3 years now just for myself and family, a couple hundred bags, only had 3 contaminated blocks. Just keep everything clean.
We all got into mushrooms at 15 son. Tripping balls.
Not sure why all the snotty comments - this is amazing stuff!
whats the name of the arthritis one ?
Looks like reishi, Ganoderma lucidum.
I would love to find and try it!
Reishi
@@dg5450 thx
But doesn’t reishi look like a shell? I thought reishi but all the pics I looked up looked like she’ll type mushroom not how this video shows it...looks more like coral shaped if anything...unless they grow different in controlled spaces than in the wild????
What we need is a recipie book not for making food, but for his set up. All that filtered air and his systems and everything,
More smart mushroom guy! WAY less dumb “oh my god,mushrooms” girls. 🤢
Is there any alternative to plastic usage in mushroom farming
Oh my gosh like, I'm totally like mushrooms are complicated like like wow
introduce, I am a mushroom farmer from Indonesia. I'm sorry, may I ask for information on mushroom entrepreneurs in the United States? thank you
@Jackson Ville ok, thank you very much.
This looks good for home growing if you want fast results and consistency. Nice work dude 👍🏽
Awesome video and ignore all the negative comments ladies. You learned a lot that day. Well done!
He need to show us his hidden mushroom section ;)
Mycology is amazing but it is a true rabbit hole. The science is fascinating and once you get the bug, it just goes on and on.
"This is complicated it hurt my little brain " The cringe
QUESTION: What kind of mushroom are they talking about at 3:45 that promotes dreams? Thanks
I get my from an online store his got shroom, psychedelic and microdosing products well refined also ships to anywhere discreetly, can also guide you on anything.
His on Instagrams, with also telegrams with,,
*Mycopete%
3:38 Sure, dreams... "Special" mushrooms yea.
did they name that one?
Ganoderma boosts normal tissue function. Does not give you a trip.
@@moondog573 leticiaec is right! It also goes by the name Reishi. More specifically I think, antler-shaped Reishi is what you see in the video. It forms like that because of the carbon dioxide level: ua-cam.com/video/CPoMcO5dCws/v-deo.html It's perfectly legal too!
Yeah that guys is chill as fuck
5:40 definitely do not hold a baby like that
Hahahahaha copy that...
If it’s her baby and she drops it, it would increase the worlds IQ by 50 points
Mike is a wonderful guy with an incredible UA-cam channel. Please imagine a TedTalk and an ASMR mixed together. His voice is calming and it's so relaxing listening to him share his vast knowledge. ❤️
this dude for sure has a secret grow room with some "other" kinds of shrooms.
Just like me
Christian Terrill that's a no brainer
5:50 you have to cook them to get all the nutrients?? Is that even for all the benefits of lions mane?
wow really high production value!
I'd move to Phoenix just for Mike's mushrooms
"more rubbing alcohol on my hands than i have in my entire life". Then, corona happened.....
Right?! I heard that and immediately looked for the posted date. "This must be from before 2020... Aah, ok."
What are those purple/yellow coral-like mushrooms @0:09 called?
This video used to be 8hrs long but they had to cut out all of the sentences that started with "this one time me and my homies were tripping so hard.."
I used to go mushroom "hunting" and knew the different forest ones i could and could not eat.. i love mushrooms because of the hunting i did as a kid learning all the types of forest ones.. however it seems he has a few i never saw before.. Man maybe i need to learn like he did and start a grower.
0:19 looks like the dude from Key and Peele
Really interesting! Watched some videos from Southwest Mushrooms and they are 100% fascinating!
I get my from an online store his got shroom, psychedelic and microdosing products well refined also ships to anywhere discreetly, can also guide you on anything.
His on Instagrams, with also telegrams with,,
*Mycopete%
So how can I contact that mushroom guy?
Here is there contact page, www.southwestmushrooms.com/about they are super nice guys!
@@USATODAYLife Thank you!
What mushroom is that? The one that helps for arthritis? Thank you.
Reishi mushroom! (Reishi Antler)
Please change your hosts! They ask terrible questions and it just seems so unprofessional.
What’s that one he gave to his grandma?
Red Reishi
*I just randomly started to have an interest in mushrooms.... Out of no where..... Not magic ones though I swear 😂
Anyone know what medicinal mushroom that was at 3:45???
Why are mushrooms so pretty!?
RIGHT?! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost...
3:15 what kind of mushroom is that??? my dad has arthritis and I LOVE lucid dreaming and tea its perfect
11:10 as well
OK did some research, pretty sure those are
Lingzhi (mushroom) aka Reishi
and that those are the antler shaped version based off of different growing environments, otherwise they do have caps
Mike is certainly changing perspectives on mushrooms. My interest in eating them has piqued!
What is the mushroom strain that he said his mom takes at 3:20? Is that cordyceps? Crazy looking mushroom. It is beautiful.
Red Reishi
Came from space, lol... I'm guessing this guy enjoys the psychedelic varieties too.
the girl on the right is really attractive, im happy shes intrigued by mycology
Out of literal dozens of operations growing gourmet mushrooms they choose the hipster operation
You had me at "9 dash 5". That, and you're brilliant. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
The mushrooms were very interesting but the hostess is unbearable to listen to.
I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Thank you so much!
Why, he's talking to his guru. Looks like Stamet's trade.
Do you have lights on 24/7 or is there a daylight/night time cycle?
We all know he started with the magic ones
anyone know the name of the mushroom they're talking about at 3:40 ?
9:46 lol he got into growing mushrooms at 15 "out of nowhere"lol ok kid. I'd like to see what "medicinal" varieties he has growing in the tents he doesnt show.
I like the massive indoor grow tent they show at 7:03. I have a baby grow tent behind me in comparison lmfao. And mine is actually pretty big for a home grow tent.
Dude looks like a magic mushroom loving hippie
0:53 cheecky shot of cubensis. Cuz this guys fully only growing the gourmet mushrooms definately ain't tripping his balls of on the side.
Mushroom grower : "this is a highly sterile environment, we wipe every single bag with rubbing alcohol and use gloves while doing it"
Dumb girl : *proceeds to shake the sterile bag and rub it good on her stomach*
Mushroom that comes out at 3:17 looks kinda like reishi but not sure. Can someone pls verify.
