Quick note for the group. For the last two years I have been turning the way I actually run Southwest Mushrooms into a working cultivation OS: Crowe Logic. This is not a generic chatbot bolted onto mushroom content. It is the operating layer I wanted years ago when I was trying to keep contamination down, standardize SOPs, read environment data correctly, and stop making the same production decisions from memory every week. What is inside Founding Grower: - CroweLM for cultivation questions, SOP decisions, and production troubleshooting - Crowe Vision for photo-based contamination and culture analysis - SOP generation from your actual inputs instead of blank templates - Environment and grow-pattern analysis for making better batch decisions - The operator workspace we are building around the Southwest Mushrooms production system For existing Southwest Mushrooms customers and community members, I opened a 72-hour founding launch price: $99/year for Crowe Logic Founding Grower Annual. This is not the normal Pro monthly plan. Pro is usually $97/month. This is a founding annual plan for the launch window, and the $99/year price stays locked in while your subscription stays active. If you are already on a monthly plan, nothing changes for your current membership. This is a launch option for people who want to switch into the annual founding price from here.

I will answer a few directly in this thread so you can see how I think through the pattern. Michael

About time to harvest and cook

I feel extremely grateful that I have a couple spawn bags coming from southwest mushrooms not sure if they will have any more spawn blocks available in the future but im glad I was able to get some before they were any available

AI for mushroom cultivation is here. In this session, Michael Crowe breaks down the Crowe Learning Models + Crowe Logic, tools built from years of real cultivation experience and massive datasets, to help growers and researchers level up quality, consistency, and results. You’ll hear how Michael is combining biotech + software to build: Crowe Vision (image-based contamination spotting, mycelium health pattern checks, mushroom grading) SOP + workflow generation (turn “brain into a system” so teams can execute consistently) Yield prediction + substrate simulation (estimate colonization + BE from your inputs) Crowe Sense (future sensor-driven grow room automation: temp/RH/CO₂ monitoring + auto-tuning) Crowe Logic voice agent (alerts + communications, even handling calls) A highlight: Michael shares experiments in targeted cultivation, using inputs like seed oils and nutritional additions to potentially influence growth performance and compound expression (framed as ongoing R&D and observations, not guarantees). We also get a personal segment: Michael talks about what mushrooms taught him—discipline, patience, and systems thinking, and how Southwest Mushrooms is evolving toward research, genetics, education, and licensing opportunities worldwide.
