Mushroom growing a unique venture for Sask. farmer

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/story/2013/07/25/sk-mushroom-grower.html

Freshness is a key ingredient for a Saskatchewan farmer who has come up with a unique way of growing mushrooms.

"Everything is sold within a week or not sold at all," explained Joel Huyghebaert, owner of Stellar Gourmet Mushrooms, while leaning up against the styrofoam insulation of a newly-constructed building on his farm near Regina.

The specialized facility houses racks of oyster mushrooms, and is one of a very small number of operations in Western Canada. That's the key to profitability, according to Huyghebaert.
The mushrooms grow in clear bags of sterilized straw and are seeded or spawned in a grain mixture developed in a laboratory in the city.

Oyster mushrooms thrive on wheat and barley straw, Huyghebaert discovered during three years of research, and there is plenty of straw available in Saskatchewan.

Someday soon I will make it there. For now my life consists of traveling back and forth from the corn fields of Southern MN to the far North of MN
