Today we welcome the mycologically eclectic William Goss. We go behind the scenes of large scale commercial mushroom farming, where we get valuable insight for understanding the process in its entirety. We discuss the equipment, the automation, the jaw-dropping quantities they produce and the mycology of optimizing button mushroom cultivation. We also talk about William's new gig working with reishi mycelium to create mushroom leathers, and the shift in application from mushroom production to mycelium production..William Goss is a 29 year old mycophile residing in California. He has extensive experience in the plant and mushroom world and spent the last three years working at Monterey Mushrooms — one of the countries largest producers of gourmet agaricus bisporus, or portobello mushrooms.
