You Won't Believe How Much Mushroom Can You Grow In 1m²!

In this video, we look at the production capabilities of my mushroom fruiting rooms here at the farm, plus we also go into how many square meters you need to meet specific mushroom production requirements.

Mushroom Fruiting rooms are most probably the most important part of a small mushroom growing facility or farm. Being able to grow a set amount of mushrooms each week to meet customer requirements is imperative. To meet these demands you will need to calculate exactly how much space you need.

We estimate the baseline of mushroom production per square meter is around 6.5kg/m² moving up past 10kg/m² for a more intensive room. A lot of this is strain-dependent, and some strains will yield more or less. Here at the Oak and Spore Farm we regularly get 7.8kg/m2/week, and find that's a very achievable target.

I LOVE your transparency through your videos. You're helping me a ton.

[jeffsharp]

ive watched your videos multiple times. Dont know why it took so long to leave a comment. You are such an inspiration. your videos have so much information. Thank you for taking the time

[markm]

How many hours of labour per week do you require? Perhaps a better question would be how many square meters could 1 person manage with 40 hours per week? Doing mixing, innoculation and fruiting? Great video 👍👍

[ForestRossi]

Really can't thank you enough for sharing the knowledge you have gained! it is such a great help. I've subscribed immediately 👌👍🤘🤙

Hi, awesome video! Would you be willing to share your production calculation spreadsheet from this video?

[HavokBWR]

Also I was reading a paper done on white button mushrooms, so I dont know how well it applies to other types, but they found that the substrate not directly under the mushroom (this would be for top fruiting) doesnt have much of an effect on the mushrooms growth. Where as deeper trays produced more fruit per square foot. BUT per volume of substrate they found that shallow depths gave the most fruit per lb of substrate. Example- a 1'x1'x1' cube of substrate would produce less mushrooms than a 2'x.1'x.5' block.

You missed your calling you should be in movies. so funny to watch. Love it

[brycecooper]

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

[Catzillator]

This is a really great idea... my colleague never approve of me experimenting closed environment grow chamber... I could have a lot of shelves this way too.

i like your videos, am from East Africa and am looking forward to start growing mushrooms

[madaxe]

Man I love your attitude... when you said about hitting a wall if you don’t build your room big enough shows that you’re forward thinking... I love it. I think about shutting down my machine shop and starting to grow mushrooms instead

[bcfortenberry]

Thanks for sharing your process. Quite helpful.

[paulomeara]

I've been watching a number of videos from you over the past few days. Do you have a video on harvesting spores, and inoculating grain bags?

[TheSkyHive]

I have watched your videos many times because I am starting my own mushroom op after 25 years as a hobbyist. May I ask what software you are using to track spending/profits? CHEERS!

[TheMarukeru]

This video honestly gave me a lot of information and I went to your site to get the asset list as well! Is there a copy of the spreadsheet you're using in this video to help better grasp numbers desired for my own set up?

[zajkosajko]

Hello! First of all, thank you for sharing your experience with us so willingly. You're doing an amazing job! I'm planning to open my own mushroom business soon. Is your excel calculator available somewhere? Can you share it with us? best regards, good luck!

[ceally]

Amazing content. You're very inspiring!

[Adelman]

Thanks for the videos, I frequently revisit them. What are the dimensions of your shelves?

[zungoyc]

Hello there! You've done an amazing job here; I can see you've made significant progress in the mushroom business! Is there any chance you could share those Excel files with us?

I know a company called Gaia Water and they have systems that produce nanobubbles to create very high oxygenated water. I think they are doing some big things in mush farming
