We are frequently asked ‘How much room do I need to grow mushrooms’?
To keep yourself supplied with our oyster, shiitake and king oyster mushrooms, then all you need is a space as big as a shower.
If you’re wanting to sell mushrooms to your local restaurants, SPAR or farmer’s market, start with a single garage type of size.
For big commercial projects, it’s wise to do some number crunching with us – these numbers are based on your budget, long-term vision and viability.
Hi Neil, I want to start mushroom growing in a cold environment. Can I start with a detached garage?
Mehdi
Dear Mehdi
Yes you can, depending on how cold it is, you may want to use a different species such as king oyster if your temps are consistently below 20 DegC.

Thanks Dustin

Want to start production of king oyster mushroom for local market. Do you sell growing kit for king oyster mushroom? Is it easier to produce like the ordinary oyster mushrooms with the kit your kits?
Dear Antwi
King oyster prefers a sterilized substrate. To make it easier Mushrush supplies king oyster mushroom logs, ready to fruit. All you need is a space where you can control temperature and humidity.

Hello Neil. I got fascinated about the production of mushroom. I am organizing farmers into clusters across the country as we want to into commercial production for both local and international market. I want know the difference between mushroom tunnels and the greenhouse with temperature/humidity control. If they are not the same which better considering durability and cost effectiveness. I would also want information on: 1. The relevant equipment for production and processing (drying). 2. Cost of the equipment and their sources 3. International Offtakers (international contacts for marketing), 4. Any other information that could of help to me to enable me prepare a good business plan. Better still if you have business plan you can share with Me will be highly appreciated. I want to discuss with banks for funding.
Hi
I suggest attending one of our mushroom workshops where we can discuss your requirements in detail, they are run on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
Kind regards
Neil
