Details On The Mushroom Spawn Making & Lab Techniques Workshop
After you take this workshop you'll be able to:
- When growing mushrooms you'll afford to use as much spawn as you want in your mushroom substrate recipes and this always gives you with 10-20% more mushrooms
- You'll become independent from the market price/lb of spawn set by random companies.
- CUT COSTS. Shipping spawn to a destination costs in some cases even more than the spawn itself.
- Most spawn companies out there have limited strain availability as spawn (ready to ship).
- You can sell spawn to people wanting to grow mushrooms
- You can perform lab work and clone wild mushroom strains of interest
