Getting Started with Shiitake and Oyster Mushroom

There are two primary ways (business models) to grow mushrooms. 

(The Hard Way) 

Become a mushroom expert/specialist who starts with education in mycology / buys, builds and equips a mushroom grow structure / buys and builds a laminar flow spawn production lab / or buys spawn / invests in expensive autoclaves/steam sterilization equipment / buys and sterilizes bags and substrate / inoculates the substrate / and waits for the multiple stages of mycelial formation before harvest.

(The Easy Way)

Become a Profitable Producer who buys a low-cost custom designed Mushroom building with controllers which assemble in a few days and then buys pre-conditioned mushroom bags ready to fruit in 10-14 days. Complete crop out in 30-60 days for rapid return on investment and repeats for a great ongoing cash flow
Growing oyster, shitake and other high-value mushrooms locally can be a powerful profit generator for the small farm; potentially exceeding the income from vegetable production.

Growing Requirements

Modular Climate controlled mushroom houses maintain the critical mushroom growth parameters for maximum yields and can be built in a few days time.  Parameters for mushrooms are: Temperature, Humidity, light, ventilation and CO2 levels. Depending upon the type of mushroom being grown these factors need to be controlled to optimize production. Affordable system sensors and controllers are available to handle these issues. Also, ready to grow bags and 'logs' are available for oyster and shiitake mushrooms which start producing mushrooms in 10-12 days and completely crop in approx. 2 months.
The combination of controlled conditions and ready to grow mushroom bags brings successful and profitable local mushroom production within the reach of the average person.
