WE ARE GROWING OYSTER MUSHROOMS!!!!!

I just can't believe this happend.  We were using this bagged oyster mushroom as an example for weight and length in the new grow room.  This was one that would not fruit in the old grow room and look what happened in the new grow room!!  So the new room is a definate SUCCESS.

Mushroom Grow Room is GROWING!!

Well, we have the new cement floor in  and we have started adding insulation on the walls & ceiling.  The
hardest thing so far was figuring out how to ask the bats to move out of the barn.  What they actually did was
move over.  I love the idea of bats on the farm BUT not in my working barn.  We have a shed that is very quiet and open year around but they don't like being alone, I guess.

Diary of a Mushroom Grow Room

We have an excellent bank barn to start with so that major expense has been taken care of. We are using the side of the lower barn that has been built against the earth. We stripped all the stalls, grain bins and old wood from this area and we are starting fresh. We layed new cement on the floor with drains and redid the walls so they will be able to hold moisture and yet not mold. We are trying not to make anything permanent on the walls or ceiling because I am sure that things will be moved around and changed over the next year. I will add photos as things progress. We will be growing Oyster Mushrooms in this grow room.
