    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
