The Mushroom Man: Growing 700 lbs of Mushrooms Every Week In Cargo Containers

Hiram Ramirez went from knowing nothing about how mushrooms grow to running a business that supplies 700 pounds of mushrooms to restaurants and consumers all over the Charlotte, North Carolina area. He grows many strains that you normally won't find on the grocery shelves, like lion's mane, trumpet, oyster, maitake, and pioppino.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my wife 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.

idk why the YouTube algorithm has suggested this video to me but thanks.
5 mins spent learning about mushrooms are 5 mins well spent.

I hope you have interns/apprentices--the world needs more people like you.

Hiram is a legend. Supplying so much for Charlotte.

Psychedelics definitely has potential to deal with health issues like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them but it's hard to source them here,

[DariaNovak-bg]

I really need to visit your location! I am a very small commercial Lion's Mane grower in northern VA but want to look into containers. I don't know much about reefers, etc.!

Cool video, just started growing myself and so its pretty cool to see mushroom growing at an industrial level. Also really good interview, it was more enjoyable and well shot compared to other channels with millions of subs.

[AndyGneiss]

Very interesting video. I enjoyed seeing behind the scenes of where the mushrooms were grown.

Amazing energy to you and to flow. Unlimited

This is one of the things I would love to try, but the price of land and buildings is so high right now that I could easily drop $75, 000 on the attempt, and I can't afford to risk that much right now.

nice video guys, really happy seeing this kind of videos. Honestly, I was able to survive depression, also my strong addiction to illicit drugs over 3 years which could have been medically dangerous to quit, all thanks to Psilocybin mushrooms.

Wanted to get into growing mushrooms, too, after starting foraging. I'll look into it after I finish school. Love this video

Those Shiitake blocks look a lot like the blocks that you can have shipped from Thailand

Dude should consider asking a local performance hvac professional to come by and help with his energy management. And solar resilience would be ideal with minisplit based systems too! But great work 😊

I am not a bot I ❤️ Mycommunity, I watch the myco geeky podcast, . Mushrooms for mental health, Mushroom treatment for trauma depression and addiction saved me from my mental health!!!!

I don't live too far from this place. I'm always finding cool small scale farming operations. I wish there was a hub that could connect me to more places like this instead of randomly finding them on youtube. I know I could go to farmer's markets but the 2 closest to me are an hour away, both in opposite directions.

I wish just contemplating on how well/efficient it would be to cool or possibly heat shipping containers. I am curious how you insulated and any other knowledge.

[WHSmith-zkox]

And another cost saver would be to erect a pole barn to give your shipping containers shade... You will save tremendously in your heat coefficient trade Lot of surface area you have to keep cool...

Also, the excess Co2 your mushrooms are "exhaling" make a great turbo booster if you pump/recirculate to "Tents" next door for tomatoes and/or bell And those only need a pvc pipe "frame" and 'black' bisquene Each sheeting will last 2-3 years, depending on your conservation techniques and the cost is minimal in comparison to 3 - 4k ea. purchase price for the conex you The organic market is year around, but, you can always take a break in the summer when it comes time to sterilize your

Love it! Thanks for making and sharing this ❤

Wow. Where do you buy those logs and blocks?
