'Dirty Jobs' w/ Mike Rowe Mushroom Cultivation

I don't know if people have ever seen this show, but he just finished doing a segment on mushroom cultivation. He was in a large warehouse, full of like 8x8 casings, four stories high, floor to ceiling.
I was just wondering how they avoided contamination issues and things of that nature on such a large scale. Also, they used mycelium "pellets" on the show...anyone heard of these?

Yeah, thats what I figure too, the mycelium can grow faster than contams can. Especially bacteria.

Their substrate is 'pastuerized' by their composting process.

I just got done watching, very interesting! Does anyone ever use urea? I guess it's basically nitrogen pellets, I'd like to get a hold of that stuff.... oh ya, why is the shroomery selling out, excuse me is the shroomery really selling out?

still doesnt change the fact that mushrooms need very little, if any, light to grow.

Sorry, from what I read mushrooms need light to form pins, sorry for the inaccurate information! GL

I believe Magash did a test where he seperated a cake with a cardboard divider and gave light to one side and barely anything to the other, and yes the dark side grew but the light had shrooms 10x as big.

Dumb Ass Light Test By Magash
I dont think many people are using a 250w for shroom lighting, but perhaps we should.
