He probably got the good stuff in the back.
You KNOW they got the bruised baby blue’s somewhere
Psilocybin. Yes, it's everywhere. It's the stuff that makes people okay with dying.
@@bear1050 ahaha hell yeah brother!
It's all good stuff. Some is just more experiential than others.
I enjoyed this way too much. I love how much mushrooms were exxplained and the process.
I particularly enjoyed the mushroom growing expert explaining everything like im a complete moron and continually explaining how i simply cant comprehend a mushroom... personally i think our man has had too many mushrooms! But i digress.. the rest was fantastic
@@missionDan 1:20 He says mushrooms are dry and hydrate them with oil.
This guy trippin'
They have a billion more years of understanding above us and do things we still can’t understand on a scale and level of efficiency that exists nowhere else in nature or any lab

@@KCJbomberFTW Cool story bro
I love their passion and excitement about mushrooms. Mushrooms truly are a fascinating organism and have so many benefits to our planet.
Without molds nothing can live
got a pink oyster block for Christmas, and it fruited probably 3 lbs of beautiful mushies, that were delicious. Stuck the block on top of the fridge with a small light on it, and time lapsed it with a go pro, really cool to watch, but def the easiest and one of the most rewarding growing experiences I've ever had.
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it
( doctor_ spores)
Got psych's*
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
@@evelynbecker4916 where to search? Is it IG ??
I love their non plastic packaging, I wish more vendors did this!
It's way more common than you think in the food industry, especially for produce, most people use waxed cardboard.
The use of plastic isn’t really an environmental issue, mushrooms when not used instantly should be stored in brown paper bags to ensure freshness
@@10nazz yes it is an issue
This is amazing, I love the science of food and I love the green environmental of packaging and locally sourced urban foods, more food and science please!
They are nacro cartel members. Science))
"Cause the thing about mushrooms is they don't have a lot of moisture and they're dry" - Chef in the beginning. 😂😆 Mushrooms are 80% to 90% water... At best he means they are like a sponge and will absorb the oil he's putting on it.

Yeah, I was just thinking that.
Yeah I thought that as well
Yeah i was having equal thoughts

Yes I was having similar opinions
I used a few packs of smallhold mushrooms for a truly killer Thanksgiving side dish this year, turned out so so so good
I like to see such young guys doing so well with a unique "specific" product.
I can't imagine how proud these guys must be of the company they've built. What a cool way to make a living. Congrats, hope these guys keep killing it.
Impressive video,
I live 40 minutes from Philadelphia , yet can't find a source to buy psilocybin(mushroom). Anyone have any ideas?
Sure plug 🔌@thomas_cliton21 on Instagram , he got dmt, shrooms,LSD,acid and chocolate bars. He literally delivers anywhere.
Wow...amazing to see others who also talks about Thomas he is the best at what he does.
@@gerradeanderson2204 Absolutely he got the best psychedelics products 😍😍
@@gerradeanderson2204 Thanks, i really appreciate.
@Mavis Scott I advice you do.
The product is art even before a chef gets hold of it 🥳🥳🥳
I’m not much a mushroom eater but they’ve always intrigued me and I love photographing them. They can make any picture perfect
try some different gourmet mushrooms. They don't taste anything like store bought ones
Mushrooms are another form of life altogether. One that has been here for a very, very, very long time.
That guys explaination of how we don’t have the language for mushrooms was awesome.
it's not that deep tho
@@바보Queen It wasn't supposed to be deep, it was about the complexity of mycelium.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycelium
No, we have the language for it, human language, the only language we have. And we have an entire discipline called Mycology where hundreds of thousands of people can explain exactly how mycelium works. Pick up any mycology book and the explanation is right there.
@@youssefrochdi1994 Right, and he specifically is saying that phrases like "mycelium digesting substrate" or calling the top part the 'fruiting body', both terms found in those books, aren't exactly the best words for it but they are words used to describe other plants and animals behaviors and mechanisms, and that the more this study progresses the more these words seem incorrect because of how these mushrooms actually behave. He's saying that these words were made to describe other things and miss the mark. Its like how cognitive science used to describe our brains as computers and now that's considered a reductive analogy, hes kind of saying the same thing but about the aforementioned phrases and mushrooms.
@@youssefrochdi1994 he was talking about the way we use terms like fruiting body, or bud... They use terms that are specific to plants, but they're nothing like plants and the terms aren't technically accurate because of that.
They really drove that giant van so they could deliver 4 boxes.
😂😂😂😂
Premium-quality services at its finest.
He can write it off as a business expense.
Irs tax write off
lol that markup must be profitable
That’s a super cool set up. I hope y’all make millions.
Billions
@@KCJbomberFTW some people don’t need to make billions

This makes me want to get a mushroom growing kit! I would love to try more mushrooms out. Next time I go to the store and see a "fancy" mushroom kit I'll get it
Psychedelics saved me.thanks to trip_bank on I G for being genuine.he sells the best psychy products he got shrooms,LSD,dmt,choco bars,mdma &others

I just got some oyster mushroom grain spawn and dropped it in a bag with some cooked cardboard and rice. And that's how I got started. It's really fun, it works well and you get really tasty mushrooms. Only downside is that it takes some time. It's relatively cheap though. Like 5 euros for the grain spawn, that you can use for a ton of batches, and then some for plastic containers and rice.
8:39 those mushrooms beat me up in dark souls.

There's been studies with the Lion's Mane Mushrooms and the extremely beneficial health properties of eating them.
I've loved mushrooms my entire life, and this just....expanded my mind, a trip as he said, in the best way.

The sous chef is the only snack I see.
Bro I’m in love with Quan Ngo
Decided to search “mushrooms” and this is the first video. Exactly what I needed today. Cheers!
PS. These are very stylish mushroom 🍄 harvesters!
omg those mushrooms, i expect them to be so expensive af. They look delicious
Mushrooms are currently being leveraged as a major food source for some war-torn areas in Syria
Mushrooms are my favorite butter delivery device!
I'm not gonna lie, those high pitched notes in that first song were driving my ears crazy, was this only me? 😂
This would be a great business model to talk about on food entrepreneurs channel great vid
Show us the room with the magic ones. Don't lie ! Great content
I think its called the 'startup capital room'..
'We don't have the language to explain it.'
Goes on to explain it perfectly with words...
I’ve been growing mushrooms for a good while now. I’m about to start the mushroom farm in the bronx
Paul Stamets would be drooling
lets hope they are part of a wave of growers worldwide.
This is so fascinating to watch and learn
"mushrooms are kinda dry" *mushrooms are 92% water* like bruh
Their cells 'walls' are made of chitin, whereas plants have cellulose. This means that mushrooms don't release their water as easily like other vegetables. This might be what he meant \(O.o)/
Haha I was thinking the same thing
@@nahum3557 lister here buster I have watched enough gordon ramsay to know if you sear it on medium to high heat it will take the water out a good amount
@@savage5764 Yes, that's true... but you couldn't mash up a mushroom the same as you could a pepper or tomato, hence they are dryer
I'm so glad someone noticed this large yet minuscule error
I have a lot of respect for cooks !
Absolutely amazing how much goes into his process. I wonder who else has this process?
Great topic, and great thought out video! Keep this information coming!
My dog tried to tell me i ate the wrong kind of mushroom..
*But by that point, i knew it was far too late.*
,
the best is when you in the pool after eating those blue mushrooms and looking at the water droplets on youre hand
Is that a Mother 3 reference?
And here I was hoping they start talking about a cult around blue oysters...
Come on baby, don't fear the reefer
I like the beginning chef much more than some others that have been featured
This was so damn cool. Mushrooms are awesome.
Selenium and vitamin D. It's the reason why I love mushrooms. They're mystical, and their flavors and aromas are magical. Indeed they are the faeries of the forest.
i've never been a fan of mushrooms all of my life , but watching these video's does make me hungry. Think i'll have some mushrooms tonight.
yuk
Very fascinating how something as simple as mushroom cultivation gets upscaled in areas with higher cost of living. In South East Asia, you'll see farms that are 10-100x larger and denser that these "laboratories". I'm not sure about the unit economics of this NYC branch, but I'm willing to bet a kilogram of their mushrooms costs considerably more than a kilogram of mushrooms in less developed countries, not only because of the difference in cost of operations, but also because of marketing.
Hipsters basically
I wish they had talked more about the sales side. Do they sell all of them? Shelf life in store? Etc.
@@olewetdog6254 old comment but I work in a similar type of company, chances are they run at a loss but are being bankrolled by a much larger corporation due to the fact that the technology is much more valuable than the company, so chances are they are still waiting for an in-house breakthrough before they start pushing for store sales or even mass marketing.
Oh, the first Asian chef is Vietnamese! He mentioned a classic Vietnamese dish involving mushrooms ha ha 👍🏼😁
Im looking at the racking/shelving where do i find those
Oooooo the pink one!!
This guy should take a trip to Yunnan, China to discover more varieties of mushroom. Yunnan is home to 1/3 of world's mushroom species. He will find lots of treasures there.
Medic mushrooms too?
Lions Mane Mushrooms are so amazing, I slice them and sauté in a cast iron skillet with some butter 😃
One day I will be able to hire employees to help me with my mushroom farm.
Its hard doing what these guys do when you are going in solo.
That's a goal of mine too
Same here
Seeing the wide variety of shapes, textures, and colors in mushrooms makes me wish that the US's general grocery stores had more diversity with their produce. Your best bet otherwise is to wait for farmers' markets to open... provided there are any in your area.
Unfortunately farmers markets are becoming scams too people just go to grocer suppliers cut the middle man and over price normal grocery food , hoping to some day have my own hard working mushroom stall at the local farmers market
Mushrooms are amazing and unrated. They really are so good. I underestimated them and I agree they are a great replacer for meat. Not that I dont like meat I love it, but replacing my diet with more mushrooms and lentils has done wonders for me. Meat is more of a of a once or twice a week things for me now.
I love mushrooms! I just wish Florida where I live had the wonderful mushrooms I just saw! I'd use a package 3 times a week or more!🥰🍄
Order some spores and make some blocks
You can buy the spawns and grow them yourself. It's a fun hobby. You can buy a mushroom grow kit if you want something easier.
Amazing mushrooms are all around you in Florida walk into the woods after a rain.
You get to learn about them and see which ones are ok to eat or which ones will make you trip or which ones make you sick. I find it fun

I'm a simple man, I see Eater, I click.
I too am a simple man, I eat mushrooms, I trip.
Quan's got arms though. 👀
Mushrooms have feelings too.
Keep up the good work, guys!
This is what I dream of
what sauce did he used? didn't quite get what he said
ah, fermented bean curd sauce
@@abrahamgerhardgirsang3899 yep, blended into a paste to use a bit like miso I guess
Fantastic, so informative and impressive setup. This foodie is a big fan of what you do 😊
Great great episode
Old skyscrapers retrofitted to be mushroom farms would probably be able to grow a lot. The only issue is transporting all the materials for the substrate in.
very informative. I wish you all the best in your business.
Fantastic work people. Mushrooms!!!!
Looks out of this world!
the thumbnail made me think they were growing blue mushrooms xD
I mean they kinda are
Google blue oyster
I like how all mushroom growers act like people who eat shrooms on the daily
Love mushrooms so this video was the perfect watch!!! 😁👍

2:53 yaaaaahhhh mannnnn righteous
amazing job i can tell you really love this
Good job on tha shrooms but more importantly congrats on sticking with those glasses in that environment.
ok I need cooking videos for these
Have these guys figured out how to cultivate Morel mushrooms? I heard some where in Japan they have but I am still having to search mine out in wildfire areas and other areas I've known them to grow. I've tried a few different things to get them to grow around my house but no luck yet.
Half the deliciousness of morels is how hard you work to get them ;)
Thank you
I was hoping they would show the psychedelic room.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they have one :D
Good to see no plastic packaging
Wow! Nice mushrooms cooking 👌👍
How do you get a lion's mane to look the way they do out in the wild? (The on's with long strands)
Different strains look different. Some have longer teeth than others. Low C02 causes longer teeth.

That’s really cool
This is amazing
"Trip" he says lol
That mushroom dish looks delicious. I went to Di and Di's website, but unfortunately it looks to be off their menu at the moment. I love trumpet mushrooms.
Bought mine in an online store
He’s on Instagram

Wifey buys these types for soups. Delish
Quan is very attractive and a mushroom genius 🍄
Did that chef just say mushrooms don't have much moisture content? 😮 They are like 85% moisture
I am so inspired...

This makes me a mushroom fan
thick sliced mushroom on a fry pan crispy juicy lemon garlic sea salt yum yum yum😃😍
When they say mycelium I was like oh mycelium resistance! #hermitcraft
My ex-gf hated mushrooms until one day I snuck some oyster mushrooms on her steak in a red wine reduction sauce. She was like this steak has a weird texture. I asked her if was bad. She just said no, that it just a different texture. I told her it wasn’t part of the steak, and that she was actually eating a mushroom. She was so surprised because it tasted like the steak. She thought all mushrooms had the same slimy texture. She became a fan of trumpet mushrooms after that. Too bad most grocery stores don’t carry them. I usually find them at farmer’s markets.
The lighting looks like 6000 Kelvin. Do they prefer(mushrooms) the blue 450nm spectrum over higher red's? That would be strange to me. Most photons in a canopy that hit the ground are green and red. The blue is the fastest absorbed by the leaf canopy.
@luckwood4322 I kindly thank you for this. However I am into understand how things function.
mushrooms!!! I wish this was in my area, there aren't any local mushroom providers for some variety besides bella, whites, and the odd portabella or shitake. I love mushrooms, they have such good flavor and texture!
Some markets also carry packaged dried mushrooms which can be quite good. I sometimes use them in pasta
What area are you in?
Are any cubensis or blue ringers for sale?
