Growing Mushrooms in California | A Visit to Four Mushroom Farms | Cultivation Techniques

In early 2022 a team from North Spore visited four mushroom farms in California to learn new techniques for mushroom cultivation and to see automation equipment at Far West Fungi. We made this video to document our trip. Hope you enjoy it!

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Europe needs something like this. I want to operate a farm big as this. Just to make sure people COULD buy healthy, inexpensive food - if they want to.

absolutely insane what you got there in the us.. here in germany people are very antiquated about almost everything. i dont know of any mushroom farm in my city, and we have about 150k ppl here. i´m growing in my basement, hopeful to enlighten all those filthy peasants one day and building up a company. seeing this gives me a good push in motivation, thanks.

3rd Farm is awesome. Love seeing The reusable bottles rather than the plastic bags. Really cool he’s growing Hypsizygus aswell. Love Beech Mushrooms.

Interesting statement adding that reducing the carbohydrate ratio in substrate reduces the prone to contamination factor.

Love seeing the collaboration and openness to share and learn from eachother. Fits right in with the NS approach. This video answered a lot of my curious questions that come up during home mushroom cultivation, like “how is X done at scale?”

Thanks for sharing!

Inspiring to see these processes. Seems like there is quite the passion involved.

[ginninadances]

Impressive to see all the different ways of doing things!

[AnxiousStacker]

Awesome tours. Id love to get in on the ground floor of a biz like this. Been growing gourmets for a while but VERY small scale just for myself

Just started seeing Mycopia in Michigan at the place I grocery shop. Tried both clamshell varieties and the trumpet Royale, nice mushrooms and they must have a place in Michigan because it says they were grown here. Haven't heard of the other companies before

[jackcullen]

Very cool video (well produced as well)

[MrHelidude]

Please may I ask, why are mask always worn in the mushrooms processing plants.?

[edwarddarst]

You guys are awesome keep up the good work😊 how much do you sell box mixed mushrooms

[vidaripollen]

U should show ur creativity by finding non plastic bags
