Oysters Commercial
    #23393401 - 06/29/16 08:26 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

[gradient:#15E826,#][/gradient] Starting a commercial gourmet operation.Any experts around? No offense novices, but I don't have time to experiment. I need some help dividing my space so I can produce lots of beautiful golden oysters. Total space 10 ft. x 20 ft. I need to divide this space into 4 areas: Climate control equipment, spore production(clean room), dark grow room, and fruiting chamber. My thoughts are 12 x 20 fruiting chamber, climate control and clean room both 5 x 4, and dark room 5 x 8. Is this a good division of space? I already have a space for substrate prep ready to go. I have grown as a hobby for a short time, but I have done lots of research. I am by no means an expert, but I think I have a good grip on the basics. I would prefer to talk to people who are already growing commercially for restaurants and farmers markets. If you are a hobbyist who happens to be an expert great, but please have experience with specifically golden oysters.
Thanks in advance for any help and God bless.

Lambert sells golden oyster spawn.  I recommend growing around 65f for best color.  Good luck.

So you are saying half my fruiting room? So I could grow some kings as well in the other half?

I suggest you read some good book first.
Nobody in commercial growing i know of use spore for inoculation.
You just give yourself as a total noob, no offense.
You were given a great advice to buy spawn from professional lab if you wanna be a fruiter.
Just sayin

I wouldnt do it from spores though, you should make your LC's from agar :smile:

I don't like agar... I know a lot of people do, but it's not for me... gonna go jars and oats with syringes. Not a noob. I just don't like agar and never have.

Really you should get a book on cultivating gourmet mushrooms, or do a lot more research before doing anything else.
Like Drake said, you are way better off purchasing spawn, when you go to making your own spawn for your commercial production you want to know EXACTLY what you are doing, and that wont involve spores, or LC, or at least it shouldn't.

I'm sorry to hear that, well unless you purchase spawn, or at least learn agar work you are inevitably going to fail as a commercial operation.

okay :rofl2:

Read GGMM and maybe TMC, it will give you a solid foundation and you can reference it for answers to 99% of the questions you might have when setting up a small scale commercial op.

There are certainly some experts here and they provide heaps of information but you have to have enough knowledge in the first place to ask the right questions or it's going to be hard for people to help you. You will also get some poor information along the way and you will struggle to differentiate between what is useful and what will waste your time without a basic understanding of mycology.

Oysters do not do well from spore, both hobby growers and commercial growers alike use isolate strains, normally produced by companies dedicated to developing them. If you don't want to start your grainspawn from agar that's fine, there are plenty of growers that buy in their spawn and expand it or even use it for bulk substrate directly, all these methods are viable. What isnt though is using spores, could it work? sure, but it's not a viable method of commercially cultivating oysters.

You do realize the amount of spawn and jars you would have to deal with to grow into commercial right. I cant Imagine inoculating 50 lb.s of spawn in jars with a needle!

Already read GGMM, have the pdf on my pc. It has good info, but limited. It doeesn't talk about my set of circumstances. And I'm not innoculating bales of hay with a needle. I am inoculating jars with grain substrate with a syringe of LC. Then using the jars to mix with the straw. I already have that part figured out it's the division of space and the duct I need the most help with.

It sounds like a hobby grow then, just have fun and experiment with it. Like someone already stated, when you learn more and know what kind of questions to ask, we are here.

A jar is roughly a pound of spawn, so lets say you want to make 50 jars of spawn, thats a lot of needle work. Go back to the GGMM pdf and read the chapter on first generation grain spawn. If you are going to make your own spawn for commercial production, that is how it is done. I dont know why you came here to ask us questions but refuse any sensible answer, no ones giving you opinions just facts.

LC's LI's and such are very common, also for gourmet growers..
I do grain master jars with agar to larger bags with grains, which i would think is the most prefered method. Unless sure you want to buy your spawn :smile: That being said, still, LC's are fine if started from agar imo.

He could easily make a LC or LI, use it for a few master jars and go that route. :shrug:

Also, wont involve spores or LC? If there is no spores/agar work involved how in the hell should he make his own spawn then :confused:

Why do so many hate on agar. Spores are no way to grow anything. Spores should always be put on agar before inoculating...

People who say "agar is not for me" as if its some sort of fashion trend really don't understand sterile technique.

I know LI and LC work fine, but for someone wanting to start a commercial operation I think the safe route is best to start, go from there if you are unhappy. But honestly I think agar to grain jars to bags is a lot easier and less work than making LC's and LI's.
And like you are saying, making LC's or LI's for a few masters and going from there is fine too, but I don't think that's what he was talking about. He seems to be talking about inoculating grain with spores and taking them straight into straw, which is also fine and fun, but a not a commercial endeavor.

I think it's because they don't have a flow hood and it's a pain in the ass in an SAB, but I did for years, and anyone with a passion for mycology, mushrooms and learning would as well. LC and spore syringes I feel started as a trend for pumping out cubes as fast as possible.
Although I am sure the Eberbach blenders and all of that stuff has it's place somewhere, Stamets makes LI in his books, but never really talks about if uses that much.

    #23449649 - 07/17/16 11:36 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

ok so I took the advice given and did lots of reading.... I apologize for anyone I may have been rude to. My terminology was really off and I am sure that made my questions seem pretty incoherent. Sorry for that. So let me try to start this over. Yes I want to start a commercial mush farm. I am a novice with very little experience. I have spent over 200 hrs. now reading and taking in information as was suggested. I read GGMM from stamets and TMC childers and stamets. I have read many threads as well. I have a better understanding on terminology I may still get it mixed up from time to time. I was talking about LS syringes. Enough people have shared marty's opinion so sadly I am going to build a flow hood and get into agar work. I am nervous and excited about this process. I have only studied clean technique and not practiced it. That is why I wanted to avoid agar. 1. It's very time consuming. 2. for someone with A.D.D. it's easy to get distracted and screw up when your mind is racing. 3. I have gotten many different opinions on space and how I should use it divide it. I want a small lab area for my flow hood and inoculations of mycobags or jars. I need a fruiting room and inncubation room. My big question is how should I divide this space? I am correct in saying though there is a man who lives less than 100 miles from me who is using LS syringes to inoculate his grain jars and is growing oysters commercially. He is on you tube and he's making pretty decent money out of a pretty small operation, about half the size of the one I am trying to build. That being said I am going to try agar. Clean technique scares the crap out of me though, but I guess I am going to have to get comfortable with it and practice. Any suggestions on how to practice my technique for clean work? Also, for pouring or no pour technique for agar can anyone share an opinion?

One part agar with two part patience ....:lol:

Practice practice practice.  Only difference between the master and novice is the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.  Still not sure what you mean by LS but if you want to make your own spawn then a flowhood and agar are essential.  You know you're gonna have to invest a lot of time and money before you get any back right?  Like thousands and months or years of mostly unpaid labor.

just dive right in bro... whats so scary about agar? Just pour some plates and put some cultures on it. If you fail, you fail. Big deal, learn from it and try again.

I know youre trying "start a mushroom farm" but start out small first. Buy an Oyster LC, put a few drops on agar, put the rest of it on grain, and make a couple oyster logs and see how it goes. Take what youve learned from that experience and do a bigger grow next time with the agar you had inoculated... repeat.

i know when starting out you'll meet a lot of people that think you're not a "real" mushroom farmer if you don't make your own spawn.  it's kind of true that if you're growing exotic stuff like pinks you'll need to do that since spawn from aloha is quite expensive. 

but the cost of blue oyster spawn from amycel is like a $1 per pound.  and it's always good so you won't have to spend on a lab to do straw logs.  i would find the closest distributor near you and buy a box to do some test batches with.  you do have to call to order and mail a check.

LS Liquid Sporess. Or so I have been told... and yes drake I have heard that so that's why I changed my mind. I wasn't necessarily wanting to get into agar. And yes I know it takes a while to turn a profit and get ahead I am prepared for that. I have more to learn I guess I have to agree with spin. Only way I am going to learn is hands on. I was going to start out running just one bale of hay see what it produces and go from there...

no... LC = liquid culture. Forget about spores.

Should I do agar and LC just so I have a master or isolate for lack of a better word backup in case of contamination?

This is one weird thread, is someone trolling with an Alt?




I imagine it's an alt not wishing to associate a legitimate business startup with their entheogenic antics. :mushroom2:




I assure you I am no alt or troll and I don't have a business to be associated with yet. I have already told everyone this is a start up not a running business. I haven't thought of a name for it yet, I am kicking around a few and trying to pick one. I love how people say "We will share info, we will help if we can, we are here to advise people then when someone earnestly comes looking for this help/advice they get accused of wrong doing. Let me assure you I am as ethical as they come. I read the info that was suggested to me. and I started asking the questions as well I am able to with the best of intentions. I even apologized and tried to start fresh... and I started asking the questions as well I am able to with the best of intentions. I'm not mad and hopefully none of you are either. Please don't make accusations against my character such as troll or alt...

It was a tongue is cheek comment, sorry if that didn't come across like that and I certainly wasn't accusing you of doing anything unethical.

NP Weetsie. I just wanted to let everyone know I am 100% for real. After reading the materials I did and rereading this thread I would probably make fun of me too lol. So thanks to anyone still willing to offer advice and for giving me a second chance it is much appreciated. I know I'm rolling the dice here and believe me there are reasons for it, I won't go into details but I am willing to work as hard and as many hours as necessary to get this venture started and working as well I can make it work. Thanks to all for the advice.

Yeah drake99 I was trying to avoid agar work, but through reading and asking questions I have learned it's pretty much unavoidable. I have also been advised to try some lc storage. I am thinking of trying cornstalks, cobs, and shucks instead of straw as my substrate. I might try a little of both at first see which one my myc and mush prefer and time to cultivate. Lots of studying/practicing to do.

Start off with pasteruized straw. Heat or lime pasteruized.
