I can't thank you enough for sharing this video. I'm 29 next month and on the verge of a massive career change as I launch into creating my own small scale mushroom farm this year. Exciting and terrifying times! I am also self taught and I am so grateful to people such as yourself that have been so open and generous with their knowledge. So, thank you! Just the inspiring words I needed to hear in this moment. Big Love, from Nikki - Australia 💗

Incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much for making this video. I just started watching your videos and I'm so excited to watch them all and learn more!

Am 42 and am a chef in a 5 stars hotel . Last week we got some training how to cultivate mushroom and hope to start growing soon .

So glad I came across this channel I have recently got into mushroom hunting and also at an end with life but this has given a boost into how I want my future to be great content and honesty love the fact of sharing ideas only pushes us forward than you 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾

I got a ad on the video and it was some guy saying "is this video you just clicked going to help you pay your bills?" Yes I just clicked on a video to learn about starting a mushroom business. That was a bad ad placement. I already a cannabis cultivator. So this seems like a natural progression to diversity my income. Cannabis is crazy flooded here in Oregon. 40 an oz. I just recently built a cannabis extraction laboratory which is turning out to be lucrative because everyone is flooded with flower.

Im 34 and am in the beggining process of getting my mushroom business started. I'm a career chef that recently left the kitchen to persue my own business. Im starting with 96-120 blocks capacity fruiting room, small air box and just incubating a small tent. Im really putting my all into it. WTF has been a big inspiration and motivator.

Awesome story! I'm in the same boat. I have a buisness that does well, but just not consistent income. I'm fascinated by mushrooms and honestly, mentally, they bring some form of calmness in my life. I totally dig your buisness model of shifting your product with the seasons. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more awesome videos!

Following the same path, using KZread to further my education. Still needing to research my market before taking the dive into opening a business. Being in Louisiana..we have more than enough humidity to cultivate, but I’m not exactly sure which direction to take (medicinal or culinary, if not a blend of both). You are, by far, the most influential person I’ve seen on KZread when it comes to mushrooms. It’s been a curiosity of mine for a couple years, but you give people like me the courage and determination to pursue our goals. Keep up the awesome work, man!

Thank you for your inspirational words, brother. I am in process of trying my hand at indoor cultivation to feed my locals. Bless you sir.

Thank you for the valuable information and personal experience!

Thank you for sharing. I knew that there was more to it than a bag of wood chips. Once I thought about it for a few minutes I realized that there is obviously an investment, one has to do research, become a student, develop a market, storage, delivery, logistics, knowledge, experience, and skill. As well critically have some passion like other businesses I had when I had the energy and was healthy. I was reminded that it is a job and it takes a lot of work and commitment to start and run a business. So your video confirmed the basic laws of business. I wish you continued success and again I appreciate you sharing your valuable insight. P.S. Best intentions to all entrepreneurs wanting to give value to this world because making money alone isn't enough in my book.

Thank you so much for sharing that, how generous. I wish you the very best of luck. I'm in my mid thirties and work in healthcare, I want to start a small grow for restaurants and farmers markets.

Off course we want to see more videos like this....lotssssss of themmmmm

Dude - its pretty clear... they were thinking you had a magic mushroom grow project underway!! I have never grown edible mushrooms before, but have dabbled in some Golden Teachers and B+ mushrooms in my basement - works out GREAT! The next batch i did, i went large scale and did like 15x ten-gallon fish tanks, over 150x mason jar setup to start things off before transferred them to castings.... then GOT MOLD! Ughhh, the love-hate relationship that is the FUNGUS-AMONGUS!

I happened to come across your youtube channel and I found it to be most interesting. I would like to start a mushroom farm - albeit a small one initially. Would it be possible for you to advise me the best approach to do so with regard to the initial setup for a small production. Many thanks.

I'm 49. My family is doing this too. Studied on you tube for months. I want to take Paul's course too. We have 13 acres. My dad is about to get an LLC. Funds to start is what we need. I'm excited about it too.

Thank u for your kind words bro! Sharing is caring😀😀😀😀

thank you for sharing your story. i have a question. can we grow mushrooms from other parts of the world here in the US ? thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing. Insane that you got defacto banned from growing mushrooms by a landlord. Sounds quite comical now, but I guess at the time it wasn't. Fantastic to hear that everything is starting to grow strong roots. I think in the future a mushroom farm is where I want to be. I'm doing some stuff on air pollution at the moment so I'm a bit tied up. My biggest fear I suppose would be messing up a regular supply contract with a contamination issue. I guess I could just sell when the mushrooms are ready. I think my next step is to put a small grow operation in my back yard and just keep practicing growing until I'm confident. Thanks for the videos, it really is inspirational and helpful

awesome!! Thank you!!

Sweet thanks!

I have to admit that I love success , and I have been learning from both you and Curtis ... I have spent the last 7 years studying health , which led me into many different field avenues , but the most interesting study for the last few years has been on a quantum level of photosynthesis regarding the human genome and the plant genomic structures . I have actually just released a new protocol regarding the massive improvement of the crystal structure of water in both liquid and solid form . I have discovered a system and method of recording a memory onto the crystal structure of water , which in fact , will increase production of your farming operation as well as Curtis's farm operation . Decreased germination times / less time to maturity , less water consumption and use / and increased plant structures = extra weights on all plants using the protocol / extra big shrooms ... plants as well ... up to as much as double the size at maturity ... lol, I do know that you are now thinking , WTF , is this guy claiming ... it is a truth that we were never taught , or even considered was possible , but , extended research on a quantum level has made me discover this new protocol , and no I haven't been sampling the skinny strains ... lol... Somehow / some way , my beginning research on my personal health led me into the field of quantum microbiology / quantum entanglement applications / and a basic understanding regarding other quantum mechanical applications ... I have released my protocol to a top world known Neuro- surgeon / a top set of microbiological labs and research specialists around the world , and just in the last 2 weeks from this memo ... I am the guy that can honestly state ; human diseases can be cured by simply drinking the correct structure of water , and knowing that and having that understanding will also allow me to teach others on a far different level than they currently know . Think of an old style of recording called a cassette tape , it could play a song , and when you wanted a new song to listen to , you could erase that song and record a new song onto it , and again and again ... a phase angle of bonding exists for all water , which is in fact the hydrogen and hydrogen bonding to the oxygen molecule = the phase angle ... tap water averages 104 degrees / plastic bottled water = 101 degrees of phase angle bonding / my protocol increases the phase angle of bonding to 114 approx. degrees phase angle = a far less rigid water structure , which as a result has better absorption into a cell membrane , and if energized / will have super beneficial results of usage ... this is a new understanding that will work 100% on any plant structures , and has been shown to have approx. 85 % success rate on eliminating stroke in people that have had a stroke / it will actually eliminate many types of inflammation , which of course is arthritis , and will in many cases halt and even reverse ms / parkinson's , and over a hundred more so called diseased conditions in humans ... anyhow , I am offering a trade situation with your business for my new discovery ... you teach me about your business and I share my knowledge with you ... my protocol was actually developed by me , with no outside funding and little expenditures ... very low equipment costs involved , but super beneficial .... pm... me and we can go from there ... ttyl, T... p.s ----this discovery is named after me ; SQUIRES LIGHT ENERGY PROTOCOL ... derived from understandings of ; EINSTEIN ---BEC 1927 , ALSO ---E=MCsquared , TESLA ---EVERYTHING IS THE LIGHT , MASARU EMOTO --- VICTOR SCHAUBERGER , and many more ... every day for years ... Humans as well as plants go through a photosynthetic metamorphosis regarding light ... which in fact makes much of currently understood medicine ---wrong ...
