Is Cultivation Not Enough?
    #26585933 - 04/08/20 09:17 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

So I've been doing a bit of research outside of Shroomery; mainly to scope out how small to medium size for-profit gourmet growers are doing business right now.

I've noticed that many cultivators that have reasonably successful online presence seem to be pushing consulting services, classes, books, bringing up Gary Vaynerchuck, etc. Prices can range from 150 to 2500 depending on what's being offered.

Could this be a sign of a waning demand for bulk gourmet mushrooms and a bubble/oversaturation of cultivation startups?

I'd love to hear what experienced and successful commercial growers here have to say.

Thats a great question and im curious to know the answer as well.

i often become dazed when i go into a large supermarket produce section and check out the mushroom area, what do we find? agaricus bisporus - big, small, white, brown, sliced, whole. nothing else... what the...

there has got to be room for more gourmets among the mass public. I think the great thing about alternate income sources for growers especially classes on growing mushrooms is that it will increase the peoples knowledge of mushrooms thus creating more mycophiles.

Yeah good question. I think all the bigger gourmet growers try to diversify as much as possible. There's also a lot of value in the free labor from everyone attending the training/class.  I personally just started a small grow op (10lbs a week) and I have no intention of coaching/consulting. Probably just depends on how much drive the owner shows.
