What would you do, with all this knowledge, in a land where noone was growing?
    #23656351 - 09/18/16 05:13 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Greetings!

This is my first post. After months of adrenalin fueled reading, and dreaming, Ive decided to join in order to share my activities in the area of mushrooms.  Its over ten years ago since I went through my brf phase, you know steam, syringes perlite etc, and even dabbled into PC grains bulks and totes. And now mushrooms have spoken to me in dreams.  But now its the gourmet type...

You see, I live in a developing country,  I live in a large city,  where you can find most things but not everything. Ive been living here about7 years and the only fresh mushrooms i have seen sold, in markets supermarkets or used in restaurants, are agaricus , most commonly white button but sometime crimini.

Why is noone growing oysters? Theyre so delicious and nutritious.
Noone produces or sells live cultures or mycelium. Noone has taken up the mycelium making buisiness, or the gourmet mushroom growing buisiness.  Most people dont have the knowledge, and importing live cultures is a lengthy and costly process. However,  I have little doubt  that gourmet, asian, vegetarian and pizza chefs and busineses  would pay good for fresh oysters or shitake.

I have a somewhat large indoor space (aprox12x4m )to build a sterile lab, cooking sterilizing area, and fruiting room

In order to import live cultures legally, well it a long and costly process,.
I recently thought of some better alternatives, considering that pleurotus ostrea, and djamor are reported to grow wildly in the country where I live.  So Im thinking to wait for cool periods in the rainy season to hunt for Oysters, and then a couple months of nocturnal isolation in my lab, cloning  and sporework , and testing... on a serious effort to find and test for good fruiters for my indoor setup and substrates, and develop my bank of strains.

Way more bad ass if you ask me than depending on import permits and mycelia that arent truly yours. Even if they are commercial super fruiters...

Permits? What permits? I took this from mothernature , figure it out yourself you ignorant fools!

In the meantime Im planning to start building my lab, basic model , and pour some agar dishes in a glove box and work on cloning dry shitakes from a korean importer.  Id like to grow out the mycelium and hopefully succeed in a fruit that will give the spore print.
I understand that cloning a comercial mushrooms will not be a young culture, and creating a commercial grade strain of shitake in particular, from spores is very dificult,  but in the meantime I am still on the hobbiest level, and these are the options available to me, and I think will give me plenty of opurtunity to experiment  and practice while I have time until posibly one day I have my solid oyster cultures and I make my debut on the market. 

Now, I thank you for reading. In the future Ill be sharing posts of my cloning efforts , mushroom, mushroom growing. And of course easter eggs of the baldhead type when they cross my path with divinatory messages and metaphysical tools.

So what would you do? If there were no fresh gourmet mushrooms in your country. Could you even sleep?

Peace,
Kagrenac

theres probably at least 1 person doing it already, but the fact that you see so little of it probably means that there is plenty of room for you to provide your own produce. If you enjoy growing mushrooms you should go for it, go full time and grow different varieties, expand, eventually sell to all the restaurants and grocers in your city.
