This was the best 6 minutes of truly excellent communication I can remember. You da man!

Man, you're such a nice guy. While many other youtubers brag about their stuff you actually care about your viewers; telling your viewers how they can source materials economically and support local producers at the same time. Thank you!!!

You put out amazing content Sir, keep up the great work. You inspire more people than you will ever know.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy em.

Holy guacamole. Being from the city sourcing grain from feed stores was key info that I haven't been able to find until now. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for your great info as always. I'm learning tons of stuff from you! Keep up the good work!

Watched all your videos, waiting for more, appreciate all the knowledge. I'm trying to open mushroom farm soon

your videos are extremely helpful

Great video thanks for all the info.

excellent

Wow dude. These videos are so useful

Wow, thanks for this video my man.

Basically you made me think of a great business idea. There's a resource noone thinks of and probably is dumped until now. Will check this next days and try out soon if possible.

Great stuff sir

This is the best info.

Amazing info. Thank you

I second that, AMAZING content!!! That's a big ol' subscribe outta me! I would love for you to put out your best bulk substrate recipes by fungus species. I can get deals on a number of substrate and supplements at different times, unfortunately I don't know "what goes with what." I have been saving my coffee grounds for a month and have accumulated a 5 lb block. I would love to be able to incorporate this into bulk substrate. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge! Peace, brother!

Very cool.

This is the first video with the new laminar filters? Excited to hear about those. Kit?

Brewery stores sell all your different grains, rice Hulls, and Walmart sells popcorn for a dollar

a dollar a lb would be $50 a 50lb sack. I pay $12-20 per sack. Rice hulls from a brewer are food grade, you can get feed grade for half the price.

@@MyersMushroomsFarms I was talking a bit of a smaller scale, no offense! You said a feed store? Like tractor supply? Your doing great work keep it up 🍄💕

I couldn’t find any of these grains in isolated form. It was all mixed into a food. Wheat bran was the only one I could find, and that was at Seminole feeds in Florida

May try aircrete metal stud panels. Probably gotta make em though

where do you buy your bulk hardwood pellets?

Hey Eric. Do you have any information about the specific nutrients you're looking for when adding supplements? any links would be appreciated :)

Do you have a video of the different substrate mixes/ratios ?

whats the most cost/cheap effective between sawdust and pellets?

Where do the hardwood pellets sourced from? Are there any brands that harvest trees sustainably?

I am in the Texas area as well what is the contact for the oak fule pellets per ton supplier you use

Hey thanks for the video, curious why don't you like straw? messy? unknown grow methods?

makes a huge mess. sticks on clothing, gets everywhere

Rural King pellets are 3.99 a bag.

I have a question : as supplement, could i use cow manure instead of all the supplement you've named? Almost thanks

Can you explain why you spawn on grain and grow on different media? Thought in the wild the mushrooms would go from spore to adult on the same media.

To give the mycelium a competitive advantage

just occurred to me that hwfp is basically baby food for mushrooms.

Lol yes, it is lol.

if youre using beet pulp fiber pellets, what would the ratio be and what other things would you have to supplement it with. If i use wheat bran and beets with hardwood pellets what would you recommend the ratio to be?

Heard leaves bad

Feed stores round here only carry rice bran, anyone know if thatll work? Also cant find soy hull pellets, can you use soybean meal? I can get that cheap

Saw dust from a sawmill. Can you show soybean hulls ? I am in the middle of soybean country and not sure what you are mentioning.

Hi Eric, why do you say you want larger shavings and not dust if HWFP is just pelletized saw->dust, sawdust is by definition very small in particle size. In your wet bagger video the mix becomes mud at the beginning doesn't it? When you hydrate it to the correct moisture content by weighing/measuring everything, it won't be mud. Am I wrong? By the way, congratulations for that bagger!

I'm not sure what the coffee thing is supposed to mean. When you hydrate HWFP they are no longer wood chips but moist sawdust. When you tumble you can distribute spawn and air effectively.

larger particle size is simply optimal. Dust is fine but not optimal.

anybody know where to find bulk aspen chips at least a truck load?

i wish someone could tell me how all these substrates are called in spanish, google translate isn't able to make an accurate translation.

Soy bean hull, Wheat bran, Beet pulp, for nutrients and typically sawdust or fuel pellets

Is there anyone following this channel from the pacific northwest and know where you can get hardwood fuel pellets. I can only find softwoods around here

Can juniper or pine work? I am moving to Arizona and they have more of that. Scrub oak should work.

On the hardwood heating pellets...how to know if safe to be used in human consumption? I'm seeing warnings on the bag...after all if there is bad stuff mixed in, it may very well end up in the edible mushroom? How safe is that to bring to market/restaurants?

john smith it's just like the feed grade grain. It's not fit for human consumption but fine for animals. Think of fungi as more of an animal than a cake or bread your cooking. Your selling what the substrate grows. Not the substrate. If your selling medical mycelium you would want food grade grain.

Myers Mushrooms I'm sorry but I don't think your analogy about feed grain is a good one. I believe P. Stamets writes in his books that mushrooms can fruit with toxins/heavy metals that they breakdown in the substrate. I'm not saying that there is anything bad in items your using off label, but when you sell to the public wouldn't you want to make sure the items your using are safe for consumption. Just because a mushroom consumes something, doesn't automatically deem it safe for consumption.

john smith if you want to use food grade substrates be my guest. Let me know how it works for you. If it's ok to feed to animals for milk, eggs, and meats it should be just as safe for mushrooms.

john smith fuel pellets are literally just oak in a pellet form. It's actually used for animal bedding for animals all the time.

All of these guys hate straw. It's a lot easier and affordable to pasteurize straw than buying expensive sterilization equipment for sawdust.
