The link was to point out that even a professional machine if not properly designed or maintained can cause serious injuries even at a big mushroom company as Lambert. And could bankrupt you and your business.



I am aware of that mate. Which is precisely why I am building my own system for 2000$ CAD instead of buying a professional machine that can still blow up in my face. At least I know my way around the one I'm building and I can spot any technical issues.

it looks like a solid plan!
I was only stating my own limitations. I'm a mushroom farmer, not an engineer,so keeping it simple keeps me from blowing my nuts off. Nice work so far, Marc!



I respect that brother! I know not everyone feels safe building an autoclave which is why I highly recommend not copying us. I simply want to demonstrate it is possible and that one can employ many fail safes to prevent injury or malfunction. I hope you're following the build :smile:

Everyone just needs to have faith that 4 engineers from the most reputed canadian university will be fine building a mini autoclave lol.




Concordia?




lol

OP, where are you going to be selling these mushrooms anyways?



I have one major restaurant signed on that takes most of our production for 15$cad/lbs and the rest is sold through our facebook page and word of mouth. We have quite a repeat customers and I'm thinking of doing a mushroom 'csa' style basket soon for the folks that are simply mushroom fanatics and want them on the regular.

wow what an awesome price you are getting from that restaurant, must be a big one. Cool idea on the CSA too.. I was thinking of approaching the local CSAs in my area to try and get in on their boxes. I wonder how the pull of a mushroom only box will fair. I would love it for myself, lol

Yes it certainly is and I'm very fortunate to have that account. I can't say we don't deserve it though. We bring them mushrooms harvested not more than a few hours before they are dropped off.

Good point on the basket! I plan on diversifying a bit. My wife makes soap and im thinking we can include a mushroom soap and maybe my bacon-oyster mushroom jam. That way we aren't bring 4-5 different fresh mushrooms out every week.

Yeah, I was joking. Anytime a someone strokes their own ego, we know it's a McGill student that hasn't checked the rankings in ages, let alone how each individual faculty ranks :wink:

Congrats on that sick restaurant contract!

:mushroom: My trade list :mushroom:
Looking for strong terrestrial fruiters for an outdoor beds experiment:
Agaricus Bitorquis, Agaricus Augustus, Agaricus blazei/subrufescens, Stropharia Rugoso-annulata, Clitocybe Nuda (blewits), and any species or other genus that you think work outdoors.
Also, any commercially viable Pleurotus, cold or hot strains.
Thanks for the Q&A, trades, and all the posters & teachers that have come before us  :skol:
