Another thought. We had a separate facility for the oysters. When you walked in during fruiting the air was thick with a fog of spores. Oyster spores are dangerous. Wear a respirator or at least a dust mask to protect your lugs while you work.
GREAT! I'm so happy to hear you did this commercially, I'm sure i will be contacting you for information at some point because there are some things where questions are to be had.
Sounds like you've collected your spores before to make your own spawn, right now we buy ours but have talked about making our own so I'm sure I'll have some questions on that at some point.
As far as the market, the area I live in has dozens of farmers markets we can hit up and are hoping to be doing 100lbs a week by this summer. There are a lot of high end restaurants around me too so thats always an option, although they won't give us the $14 a lb we are looking for.
