Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.

I got into mycology as a side hobby, but your channel has inspired me to start my own tiny mushroom business. I'm making decent money on the side and it's all thanks to you and Boomer Shroomer. Thank you!

I have watched hundreds of mushroom growing videos. This man's descriptions are by far the best and most understandable information anywhere on the web. Thank you for being so clear and informative.

Substrates are an overwhelming topic when it comes to new growers. Thanks for this!

I haven't watched this channel in a while and I gotta say the editing style is really good

Been binge watching your channel, my first batch of grain spawn is growing currently. I know how much work it is to create a YouTube channel, really good work. Kudos and really enjoying watching the evolution of your channel.

I’m a super beginner and I have been given a welcoming gift from the community in Reddit, however I am not, NOT, prepared and I have stored them in the fridge. Your videos are helping me so much and you are so informative. I enjoy your videos and I appreciate the work you put in.

Thanks for what you do. All of your myco/videos thought out....no ridiculous a clear step above the rest!!!

[mteichgrab]

Thanks a lot for all your videos! I'm a begginer in growing mushrooms and I find your videos very helpful and full of information!

[maddaccilemaddacci]

This is awesome. With everything you’ve put together you should have a publisher put it into a book. I’m sure it would rival the best of what’s out there for starting, home cultivation and getting to up to the level of commercialization. This is great stuff. Thank you. Easy to understand, not difficult to do... great results... Just awesome.

Wow, this video was great. I enjoyed the editing and the information in it. Substrates can be a bit confusing. Can you also make one about agar plates and spawns ?
