Nah. You can make some spending money, but that's it. Shitake are easy to grow.

You're like the incel basement dwellers on this board who thinks small organic family farms are (((fleecing))) them when their fresh picked, sustainable produce is sold at a premium and they're getting rich. They can scrape a living, but that's it. They don't get the corporate welfare subsidies the maegacorporation scorched earth petrochemical agriculture monoliths get, so the price is higher.

Certain species of mushroom, including morels, are extremely difficult to cultivate purposefully. If a mushroom is expensive, you probably won’t be able to grow it on your own

>> No.13645706

expensive mushrooms are expensive because you can't really grow them. you have to find them in the wild. even if you could simulate the conditions it would require tons of work and money and manpower. the most expensive mushroom in the world only grows under certain trees during certain conditions.

absolutely not. do not buy bunch of log spore kits and grow mushrooms in your father in laws abandoned barn. do not then sell them to local snobby restaurants. don't branch out into different varieties. don't import dried mushrooms and struggle to get a clean spore cuts to cultivate differing varieties and especially don't do this in the midwest, just north of chicago, where i am definitely not rich yet.

The spores remain there, in the right environment. If you can preserve the spores from each season until the next, you could do it continuously. I grew up in an area with a very high spore levels, and I want to try this year to do this bro. Imagine. I mean, the money would be nice but it would be a labor of love. Imagine having fresh morels for an entire season, as many as you wanted.

Psychedelic truffles aren't real truffles, the fruiting bodies. They are just parts of the mycelium. The loophole in certain countries, like netherlands, is due to the fact that these countries have only the fruiting bodies banned.

The point that I was making is that it's possible to farm morels. If you don't see the potential of learning from people you have prejudices towards then you will miss out on a lot of opportunities in life.

I looked into this morel farming awhile ago and they are willing to teach foreigners the technique of growing morels for either a flat fee or partnership arrangement. They know that they have a bad reputation so they are totally open to having partnerships with farmers who would use their methods to grow them abroad. If OP is really interested in looking deeper they should look into the mushroom farms in Yunnan province.

>>13649267
Industrial Farming is very different in scale, and difficulty, from what your video is proposing. I can yield 10 lbs of carrots with ease in my yard. But I know it's going to be a lot harder if I want to scale that up ten times.

idiot question here - whats the deal with dried vs. fresh mushrooms? can you revive almost any mushroom type from its dried version to the state and quality we associate with normal, fresh mushrooms?

i always buy cloud ear/black fungus dry and then soak it. for example, though, i see shiitake comes dry/fresh - does the latter have a big advantage?

>> No.13652416

>>13652258
Regarding your first question. Most mushrooms can be dehydrated and revived. For instance, puffball mushrooms and ink caps can not be dehydrated and revived later.

Some mushrooms actually taste better after being dehydrated like the bolet and matsutake. Their aroma and taste is amplified x2 after being dried. I find dried shitake's aroma and umami flavor much more powerful compared to fresh shitake.
