Over the past few months, I've rekindled my interest in psychedelics, so much so that I began growing my own mushrooms. I'm not an expert in mycology (not even close to Stamets, et al.), but I know enough to understand different growth/fruiting methods, which strains thrive in given spawn, etc. So far three strains in the Psilocybe genus have responded with very positive yields in my care, with very respectful attention given to their ecosystem and handling.
I didn't grow because I wanted to sell them, rather I am fascinated by the science behind it all. At any rate, I'm looking at a major surplus that will guarantee my research into the effects of Psilocybin/Psilocin from a personal vantage for some time to come. To be honest, I was zealous and became so fascinated with the first stages of growth that the fruiting became a secondary benefit.
Cutting to the chase, with the continual surplus that I can accommodate, would it be proper to start vending them on the DNM? Some questions that I've considered:
- Aren't there already enough vendors selling mushrooms?
- Would the start up be too slow or competitive to even bother?
- Should I be an expert in mycology before claiming to be reliable vendor?
- Assuming all risks, would the profits even be worth the hassle?
- If a spot on the markets is appropriate, what would I need to remain competitive?
- Would selling mushrooms alone be inadequate?
I invite your opinions on the matter and look forward to reading any feedback in making this decision.
There are never too many vendor for anything. The more selection the better. Hope to be able to try some in the near future :).
