I visited the local mushroom farm today. It was a big farm and produced ten types of fungi. They were cleaning the harvested mushrooms for market. Each day they send the harvest to sell in the market and they hve yet to meet the demand. They produce new mushrooms every 11 days. It is a quick turn around for money invested. You have to cook the saw dust growing medium in a steam room. This cleans all the bacteria prior to inoculating the saw dust with the specific mushroom cultured bacteria. I bought dome Blue mushroom spores on Ebay and want to see them grow, so i will bring them tomorrow and help plant them in the prepared growing media.
I sat for two hours watching them collect the mushrooms and then carefully clean the base off with a sharp razor. Using a sharp blade they glided across the mushrooms base and removed any dirt or remaining sawdust. Then when they completed this the put them into baskets and weighed them all. The boss then recorded the weights figured out the money and sent them off to market.
They have many different types of mushrooms. The most interesting species today was the Monkey Head mushroom. They gave me all the harvest and said they were delicious. I ate them for dinner, just boiled a second in water and then made them into a Yum Het Thai Dish. They were delicious.
