Coming soon! Any guesses? Currently only for our restaurant clients, but adjusting to a growing demand is a nice problem to have

Last minute prep because Murphy is always waiting to f**k you over. Honest look at how we manage bags on the daily, not how we suggest to yall.

Busy busy, check out the performance from these fine fungi. All you do is cut them open and optionally spray with SF nematodes or just water, a week later a lovely harvest!

I have not been keeping up with progress posts or mushroom knowledge, business took off quicker than anticipated.

This is a mix I bring to new clients on their first order as a free be to see how healthy these shrooms are. Typical customers are restaurants not grocery stores so fingers crossed!

Blue Oysters coming in well, another successful Sunday Farmers Merket! Selling 20 pounds today of mixed varietal was a strong step on a long walk. Tighten your pack and hydrate we've got many miles to go.

Ok fingers crossed! First transfer from a good plate to a slant! Sounds dumb but contamination happens so easily. I lost a test petri dish in storage because even though I never opened it, things get in.

2 healthy Pink Oyster Mushroom plates after 3 weeks. Not without the many failures. Seems if I stray from the hyper sterile method at all it is a no go.

Was gone for my wedding and the humidifier malfunctioned while I was away leading to a loss of the lions mane. Good thing it wasn't for sale.
