Southwest Mushrooms

Before you change the fan, the recipe and the humidifier at the same time, write down what you are starting from. Change one thing at a time so the next batch can teach you something.

If you want the written reference beside the videos, the Complete Cultivation Library is $79. It includes all eight species SOPs: Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Oyster, King Oyster, Reishi, Maitake, Chestnut and Turkey Tail.

These are digital PDFs, not cultures or grow kits. The Straw SOP and Commercial Playbook are separate. If you already own the eight-species library, you do not need to buy it again.

Grow well,

Where do I start? That is the question I get most in the comments, so I made a 3 minute answer.

Years of videos on this channel are now organized into 8 free paths you can watch in order: Mushroom Growing Quickstart, Course 1 Cultivation Foundations, the 30-Day First Flush Challenge, Gourmet Grow Guides, Grow Room Blueprints, Course 2 Advanced Production, Course 3 Harvest, Sales and Scale, and the Mushroom Business Accelerator. Four are YouTube courses under the Courses tab, four are playlists.

Start Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwVXL...

The 8 links are in the pinned comment under the video. Tell me in the comments which path you picked.
