Pressure Canners are a huge help for mushroom cultivation. Almost all substrates require some level of sterilization. I bought this one year’s ago when I wanted to become a mushroom farmer and it has worked flawlessly for me. Yes, it is a bit pricey. This is a purchase it once item. If you take care of it, it is the only one you will ever need. I also use it for canning vegetables, meat, and fruit from the garden.

Books
This is a fantastic book about mycoremediation. Alex Dorr really knows his stuff. His book is understandable even by those that haven’t spent years in college learning about mushrooms and biology.
