Hello.
I'm Larisa Teslenkova. I am an expert in growing oyster mushrooms in large quantities.
I provide online consultations for agronomists (technologists) of large farms that grow more than one ton of oyster mushrooms per month.
If you have problems with preparing oyster mushroom substrate (compost) or problems with the appearance of the mushroom’s fruiting bodies, contact me for advice and technological support for your farm.
You can read about me here.
I provide consultations in writing, since my spoken English is not so good at explaining important technical issues.
I have extensive experience in consulting Russian-speaking mushroom growers, including consulting only in writing.
You can read reviews from my clients here.
You write to me by email or whatsapp, briefly describe the problem, add a photo of this problem.
I ask you questions and determine the complexity of your problem. Payment depends on the complexity of the issue.
The cost of resolving one issue ranges from 100 to 200 US dollars.
If you want a short answer, you can ask a question in the comments under any video on my YouTube channel. This is a free option.
If you need to calculate the ventilation of a grow room or pasteurization tunnel, the cost will be in the range of $300 to $500, depending on the complexity.
For example, problems with the development of mycelium in the substrate may be due to improper preparation of raw materials or due to non-optimal microclimate parameters during incubation.
If you have both wrong, these will be two different questions, and accordingly, two different consultations.
So I first ask a lot of questions to get to the bottom of the problem. Then I determine the cost of my work.
I work with both individuals and legal entities.
I send invoices to individuals and they can make online payments by Visa and MasterCard bank cards.
We conclude an agreement with a legal entity, then I send an invoice for payment.
I work on 100% prepayment.
I will list all the mistakes you made and write how to correct them.
This will be detailed instructions for preparing raw materials in case of problems with the substrate (compost).
This will be a technological map (passport) for climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, ventilation system adjustment):
- at the incubation stage (in case of problematic mycelium overgrowth)
- at the stage of appearance of primordia and growth of oyster mushroom (in case of problems with this stage).
Once you have a list of mistakes, you will have many more questions.
I answer all questions in Google Docs. We make a table where opposite each question I write the answer.
The third column of the table is required for additional questions, if any.
My work is considered completed after you receive a list with mistakes, instructions (or a growing chart - technological map) and answers to all your questions.
I am not responsible for your failure to follow my recommendations due to the fact that you cannot buy the necessary equipment, purchase the necessary raw materials, or create an optimal microclimate.
In each case, I try to find the most cost-effective solution to your problem.
I never suggest clients buy expensive automated climate control equipment. I always look for the simplest solution and explain the possibilities of using cheaper climate control options.
However, you must understand that oyster mushrooms need certain conditions for normal growth (temperature, humidity, CO2 level, a certain air flow rate).
There are several different ways to ensure optimal conditions for mushroom growth. In different countries, depending on the climate zone and established traditions, different ventilation systems are used.
Therefore, I offer the client several options to choose from to correct his problem.
In any case - if you have a problem and want to solve it - contact me!
First, we will determine the essence of your question, then you will decide whether we can cooperate, whether the written method of consultation is comfortable for you.

From loading the room to the end of the second flush.
Consultations take place via WhatsApp at a time when the batch of oyster mushroom blocks that I am leading is at the appropriate stages of growth.
I send via text file detailed incubation instructions during the incubation period of the batch, climate instructions for the pins at the time they appear, and so on.
We correspond via WhatsApp, adjusting the climate depending on the humidity of the substrate, the simultaneous or separate appearance of primordia, and the technical capabilities of your climate control system.
In the beginning, in my experience, we communicate every day to adjust the climate parameters. You send photos of mushrooms and data on humidity, temperature, CO2 level, and damper position.
After completing the consultations, over the next three months you can contact me with questions about the microclimate, without additional payment.
1. debugging of substrate production from 200 to 300 US dollars depending on the complexity of the issue, payment: 100% advance payment.
2. Setting up the microclimate in ONE growing room from the beginning of incubation to preparing the room for a new loading of blocks - $900 (or the equivalent in UAH at the time of payment).
Prepayment - $500, a month later - another $400.
If you purchase incubated blocks ready to bear fruit, we do not consider the incubation stage.
Then the cost will be 600 dollars, full prepayment.
If you plan at the same time to adjust the climate in the remaining growing rooms, which are at different stages of mushroom development, it will cost an additional 100 dollars (if there are no more than 3 additional rooms), 200 dollars (if there are 4-5 growing rooms)
