Hey everyone, I’ve been building this for growers who want both the why and the how. Preorders are now open for The Mushroom Grower: A Marriage Between Science & Art — a two-volume, 1500-page reference designed for: - home growers who want repeatable results - farm-scale growers who need systems + troubleshooting - anyone tired of “tips” without the underlying science Estimated shipping: 3–5 months (fulfilled in order received) Choose your preorder: - Volume 1: https://buy.stripe.com/fZudR85YceUF6l13aCg7e0z - Volume 2: https://buy.stripe.com/fZu6oG72geUF38P3aCg7e0B - Complete Set: https://buy.stripe.com/eVqbJ072g3bXfVB7qSg7e0C (double-check this is your Set link) Comment below with: V1, V2, or SET and I’ll reply with what each one covers + which I’d recommend for your situation.

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. Featuring / on the call: Michael Crowe, Steve, David, Elijah, Andrew.

Tuning substrate just got way easier. We built the CroweLM Substrate Composer to generate dialed-in mixes (Master’s Mix variants, hardwood, straw, supplements), with target moisture and sterilization guidance, no spreadsheets required. 👉 https://chatgpt.com/g/g-694925447dd88191b329d05a81f8c19d-crowelm-substrate-composer
