What Is The Best Fan For Mushroom Growing?
Переглядів 11 тис.11 місяців тому
When growing or farming mushrooms, you need a fan to take all the co2 and spore filled air out and away from the fruiting room. You need a suitable fan to do this, and in this video we look at the two types of fan I use on my farm. The main fans I use are centrifugal fans, which I use as main exhaust fans. These are an EC controlled fan, meaning they can be controlled with a 0-10v signal input....

I Am (almost) Growing Mushrooms In Antarctica | Heating a Mushroom Farm
Переглядів 3 тис.Рік тому
It's been a cold October, as a cold wind blew directly off antarctica, across the southern and pacific oceans, and right over my farm in New Zealand. With the brief period of snow we had, I thought I should cover off exactly what I use to heat my farm! We use 4 separate heat pumps, and 8kw, 3.2kw, 5kw, and a commercial 11kw. These all control different parts of my mushroom farm, with the 11kw h...
DISASTER at my Mushroom Farm
Переглядів 9 тис.Рік тому
Yesterday on my Mushroom farm I had disaster strike.. The ribbon blender or mixer which I imported from China to mix my mushroom substrate, started to show signs it was breaking. I imported this blender/mixer from Satrise, in China. From the start it showed signs of very very poor construction quality. Unfortunately, I believe it was sent to me without any oil in the drive reduction gearbox. So...

The one on the right is a spinning disc humidifier. They often get their feed by having a conical underside to the bottom of the disc and the tip of this sits in the water. When the disk is spinning water gets lifted up the cone and thrown out at the periphery of the disc. The problem with this type is that, unless you have a very high rotation speed, the droplets thrown off are not very small - it's difficult to get much output down at 5 microns by this technique. Breaking water into very fine droplets is a high energy job because of the surface tension and the large area you are creating by making the small droplets. This is the kind of fairly useless stuff you learn by doing a PhD in cloud microphysics 😃
i like your videos, am from East Africa and am looking forward to start growing mushrooms
What is the material for the walls?
i'm very late to the party, but i may have an answer to your final question : Variability in yields. - I used tyndallization like you do in this video until recently, and also had variability in yields. - I bought a real autoclave recently and the variability disappeared. So i went back to tyndallize a few bags until i got one with lower yields to send to the lab, in which they found 2 strains of bacterias, dead. I think the bags aren't always sterilized with this method so the mycelium has to fight foreign bodies, even if it wins, the bacterias or whatever has already "eaten" some ressources and weakened the mycelium (since he has to use ressources to produce antibiotics). The lab showed me the slices they did, and there were obvious zones with no mycelium and different color (where they found the bacterias), you may want to carefully slice your substrates that gave less yields to visually check this.
I will soon do some testing but I guess if you want to increase succes rates grow these truffles I guess you need to isolate the culture, grow it in a completely sealed and sterilized growbag and then use this material to inauculate the trees.
why should you destroy english language this way 😂
How are you sterilising without pressure? Isn't this pasteurisation?
Love the build could you please share a list of the materials required thanks J Lo
Love your videos! How did you calculate the size of your preconditioning room?
I've watched your one of your videos with the ribbon mixer and I'm 100% sold on this style of concrete mixer, it looks very practical. I think unless scaling up massively just get a second and run them in tandem, mixing one while working with the other substrate, the labour is fine. and if anyone has played No Mans Sky that is exactly what I picture in my head lol
Updates?
Great video, thanks for sharing. There's a timer in your part list. What do you use it for?
Hello! Nice video. Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you why did you put the exhaust vent near the floor instead of putting it near the ceilings
Like this,
Anyone tried this with pf tek?
Subbed
Would this work for a diy steam room? And is there an attachment that fills the tank when it’s too empty? It would be great if, like a toilet, it had a device that caused water to fill it when it was too low…
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How can I find him? Is he on Instagram
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.
Does he ship?
Is three hours overkill for rye berries?
BRO WHERE IS UR JACKET FROM!!
Brilliant job, mate, you've done! 😮🎉 Always appreciated, man. Thank you for sharing this, love your personal experience. Cheers, Serge🎉
Sorry Mate. Chinese stuff sucks! American and Japanese were the only way to go.
Great video! Whats the model of the Chinese humidifier? Beides the defect, does IT Work Well so far?
Wrong background music
any update on how you're truffle trees are doing from germination
Thanks for your videos, your an inspirational legend. How do you work out how much air flow if it is constant? Or is it controlled by temperature or humidity or a combo?
going to build one of these because my home humidifiers keep slowly killing themselves from running constantly lol
Did it work?
I just grew my first batch last week, ate several grams in total here and there. Went great! Had euphoria, nice visuals. I must have gotten cocky or taken it for granted because a day ago I decided to eat 7 grams. I got zero visuals, its like the mushroom decided not to entertain me and wanted to hammer me. I laid in my bed and was fighting it, it was telling me I'm a bad person and that everyone hates me. That I should self delete. I gave in to it and it still was hammering me, being mean as hell. I have no suicidal thoughts when sober, i want to stick around, grow old, and be here for my 3 little girls so it felt like it was the mushroom telling me those things or something. I now fear and respect the mushroom.
Remember, she is your one source of truth.
Hello there from California! Thank you for the wonderful channel. How has the heat exchanger system been for you? I am looking to install one for the hot summers here. Do the spores/humidity cause issues for the fins?
Hello my friend, did you say that UV rays cause cancer, meaning they are harmful to humans?
It breaks dna, much more hazardous to bacteria/fungi than humans which is why it is such an effective steriliser...but still not something you want to be in contact with, especially your eyes. I would just put a switch on outside of room or container, make sure its off before handling or exposing the bulb
What a gold mine. I've been challenged and feeling battered by this issue of too dry , or too cold md not enough moisture. Plus 20% electricity. What material do you use for walls, floors when you were broke?
How loud is it when releasing pressure ?
And why the longer the hours that the humidifier working...it makes hoter ...the water turns into hot. .its because of the humidifier machine
Oi mate, love this idea. Im gonna do this but toss a rod down on em
Is $700-1000 covering all the other costs, do you take any profit from it if so what % of that $700-$1000 is pure profit? Do you only go to market once per week?
Thanks a lot for the video! Very helpful
How on earth did you find a lid to fit it? My mixer has a 16” inside diameter and 17” outside diameter and I’ve wasted hours trying to find a lid.
Just make your own lid? Sheet of plywood, 17.5" diameter circle. Saw or jigsaw or hacksaw if you trust yourself Then add a raised edge with a strip of metal or what I would do is just drill 4-8 3"x2" strips so you can crimp the lid shut and use bungees for extra protection.
Great tip! I had my humidity at a standard 80-85 percent for the growing process but never thought of switching it up for the pinning phase. Just done that!😊
Good Lord, what accent is that? I barely understand 40%. Thank you for subtitles.
hope you wasnt try to conceive she would have clamidia and a side order of crabs
👍👍
👍👍
Great inspiration. The 4.2m surely must be added to for moveability m2. I am starting a fungi farm in Manchester UK. I need all the help I can get. You help a lot especially the spreadsheet at the end

Does this work for grain or just substrate mate ? Chow
Have you tried using Eucalyptus sawdust ? What were the results, positives and negatives?
Using eucalyptus how did the mishrooms turn out in terms of yields and also side-effects, if any?
Mush grow fastest in the dark.. might suggest switching this cycle
