I want to work here... Amazing!
That equipment seems fun to work with lol.
Unicorn bags are in Plano texas, woot woot.
She seemed nervous but she is a wealth of knowledge.
So much knowledge!
There seems to be a huge amount of plastic bags used in mushroom growing. Are you familiar with alternatives?
Wow..subbed you
This is so so tight
Nice cool
Awesome..how long did it take to get the business this scale? Love the autoclave
Julia started her business, Mycoterra, around 2010 I think. Before that she worked for 3 or 4 years at Fungi Perfecti.
When will part 2 be posted?
What a beautiful lady
Where do they sell the mushrooms? Distributors?
Hi , Greeting from India. Just a quick question, can we make 10 kg bags of substrate and if yes, what are the pros and cons?
Wonderful farm .Good business.Is it possible to grow shitake in tropical humid latitudes
Yeah sure is!
Nice video. Do you use compost or uncompost saw dust?
The oak sawdust is aged for about 4 months if there is time, sometime you just have to go for it!
Hey, great video! How these big producers make the spawn? I expect them to do the NSNS TEK, but are they shaking when its cooling down? I could never imagine how these big producers do these things
No idea what NSNS Tek is. Spawn is made from agar to G1 grain to G2 grain
@@fungially ah, sorry, NSNS stands for no soak no simmer grain spawn recipe as I am trying to get an idea how the grain spawn is made on a larger scale (I cant imagine that they soak and simmer them to get the right moisture contant as stands in the most of the recipes online), or are they? :) thanks for the answer though
@@ondrejv416 Yeah definitely NSNS. Some farms do soak overnight, most do not. We use vermiculite in our grain spawn 1000 grams grain then 200 grams vermiculite and finally 1000 grams water. Layered into the bag in that order, makes a 7ish lb bag of grain spawn in regular 14T unicorn bags. Then put it in the cooker.
@@fungially ok, man, thank you. Do you also put gypsum or hydratet lime in?
@@ondrejv416 nope no gypsum or lime in that formula
um uh um uh um uh um uh... we get it
Potato chips yesterday, Gourmet mushrooms today. There is hope for America!
I got mine from👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

what track is that beat at 14:26
4:16 boom in the shot. That’s what happens in partaking of psychedelic mushrooms 😄
Holy shit that massive pressure cooker blew my mind
Yeah that thing can do some serious WORK!
Where can I find info about your online courses?
Hey Sutton sorry for the delayed response. Our online courses are here fungially.com/mushroom-cultivation-classes/
Can i use sawdust from carpenter? it is a mix of all kind of woods
You probably can, just be sure that it doesn't contain any toxic chemicals that can concentrate in the fruit bodies, heavy metals etc..
Most likely not. A lot of carpenters use pine and other conifers which are no good for mushroom growing
Does the sawdust come from pressure treated wood?
no the sawdust comes from a mill that is milling oak. Pressure treated wood will not work as it has anti fungal compounds in it.
where did you buy the large scale steriliser?
I think she said from a old canning factory.
@@richardtloots3630 Yep there is a guy in the mushroom world who bought like 30 autoclaves and then resold them to farms all throughout the country. I don't think he does it anymore though
End Game plans. How many employees?
She has something like 15 employees I think
Is Austin powers around?
The people that did not hire her might have made a mistake!
CAN YOU STERILIZE WITH OZONE?
No ozone isn't a good method of sterilization
does she have any employees??
Yeah a bunch! Maybe 15!
they cooked the potatoes in it
Yea funny mushroom farmers mostly think of pressure cookers only for sterilization never cooking 😂😂
My Girl friend grows fungi too, between her toes
I have spent months studying growing mushrooms at home and found a fantastic resource at Gregs Mushroom Grower (check it out on google)
Bobby Campbell mate it’s so evident you’re spamming all the different mushroom videos with different accounts to promote this Greg’s mushrooms . Not good man
Um Yeah......Um Yeah.....Um Yeah.....
Um Yeah.....
this s=is why you dress to impress lol everything was non sketchy but her and how she looks which makes everything else sketchy lol sad but true for me
Dude she’s running an extremely successful business. I’m willing to bet you are not. Change your perspective.
@@calbonar211 Yep, why even bring that up. Besides, she is a very handsome woman if anything :)
