Mushrooms are highly profitable and require very little space, especially Shitake. Just a few wet logs inoculated with Shitake spores and your off to the races! A quick google seach says the bottom wholesale price is $4 per pound, thats double the price of chicken with maybe 5% the work. Unfortunately after thinking about it a bit there really is no escaping tech, even mushroom growing involves a great deal of technology in work, from packaging and transportation systems to marketing schemes. Technology has seeped into every aspect of modern life! But farming sure beats the commuting and cubicles of office work!!
