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.

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

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 
Congrats on that sick restaurant contract!
