Awesome video. Thank you for preparing and sharing it.
Oddly satisfying. Thanks KZread!
That was a very good video and I was wondering how this was done. Thanks
Brilliant company and great job narrator !
Great video!
excellent video, thanks for posting :-)
Very Good Video !
Thanks, very informative
excellent.
woah soo good
Nice..great video
This is a great video. Question, wouldn't fir be a soft wood and if fir is providing this success would spruce also provide a good substrate?
Good Morning. Fantastic the video of voices, just like the product. I'm starting mushroom production here in Brazil. I would like to take a doubt. The bottle you put the substrate has how many mls (what the volume of the bottles are) and which is the humid substrate person that fits inside each bottle. Thanks in advance for your attention.
Facinating

Yeah, it's one of those strange things where these machines seem to come from nowhere. Whenever I see mass production videos now I just think to myself "who the hell is building these magical machines" But of course, you can grow Reishi without the machines as you point out :) It would be cool to develop some open-source machines for this purpose.

This is the Japanese mass production system. I can tell by the jars they're using. Notice the kanji and hiragana writing on the machines. Also in the beginning he said that the farm was established 9 years ago in 2006 by Jiro Watanugi. That's a Japanese name. Most likely imported as ceselb said.
Why do you guys use 91% isopropyl? I heard that the alcohol at that level doesn't have a high enough water content to adequately pass through the cell water barrier, and that 70% is actually better sterility wise than 91%.

They purchase 91 percent because it is has the highest concentration that is readily available. They mix it down in their sprayers, in this way they get more for less.

I'm down in the Antelope Valley area, just started growing 3 months ago myself and harvested my first batch of shimeji last week. I'm also an Aspie, so I just thought I'd point it out. The bottle operations are nice for the reusability, but they seem pretty expensive to get up off the ground with all the overhead for machinery. I'd love to drop by and say hello next time I'm up that way. Happy farming ^__^

So they follow "The Korean Method" of using Bottle Necks, except oddly instead of Cold Rooms they use Warm Rooms, and don't trim the undesirables from the best fruits during growth, Why?
@hrrly

They use variety of different temps and humidities to simulate the seasons for each stage of growth. Says it in the vid but some people have issues with understanding the host. The reason why they don't trim is cut down on labor costs and because they will still sell, although at a lower price.
Anyone try to grow shiitake out of jars? I wonder if it's possible! could save a lot of waste there as well :)

91% IsOH is not optimal for decontamination. 70% is more effective and cheaper.
Each bottle loses 60% to 80% of each flush because they weren't cased. What that means is, the tops of the open jar fruited, but imagine if the entire jar was able to do the same, all broken up and sprawled out. They are losing millions of dollars every year because they only fruit the tops of the jar, instead of using all formed networks and laying them out for more surface area. Awesome video, yet such a waste of resources.
@SuperCanada89
6 жыл бұрын
but the plastic bags are so expensive when you have to buy millions of them so this way the COGS are lower and second flushes don't yield that great? and can you do casing with sawdust can't with BRF but can with rye grain?
@HeWhoHasRisen3500
6 жыл бұрын
I was getting up to 4-6 flushes. The second and third are fine. I understand the largescale production concept where casing isn't feasible, but the bottles could be half the size and yield the same 10 shrooms pulled off the top at 7:25 Smaller bottles would mean less substrate, less water, and less time. I could case one of those bottle with a 10 shroom yield and get hundreds of shrooms, but again, I'm not a huge vested company. Anyone who fruits from the cake will lose a gigantic percentage of potential yield. I fruited cakes at first, had 5 mushrooms per cake. I cased, had 500 mushrooms from the same cakes.
@HeWhoHasRisen3500
6 жыл бұрын
The bottles could be half the size, meaning the water and substrate could also be cut in half and they'd get the same yield, 4-10 shrooms sprouting out the top. They'd save tons just on material alone, regardless of casing. Just sad to see streamlining waste so many resources.

Also I was quite easily able to understand the narrator :/

I agree. It was quite difficult to decipher what this guy was saying. Also he was talking way too fast and the words just ran together. However, this was a fascinating video, I never knew about the larger mushroom farming operations and how dependent on machinery they are to be able to produce in large quantity. Thank you.
You know what you are saying, but we DON'T! Slow down and enunciate every word. Nice pix though.
The narrator seemed like a patient has been ousted from a hospital and still not able to talk properly his tongue is full of shit, talking too fast swallowing the words, this is not the way you should introduce your video thumbs down to me!
He speaks too fast. Take a breath.
Babbling fool.
