Mushrooms
Has any one purposefully grown mushrooms in their squares?
I gave my hubby one of those kits this winter. It has lots of fungal growth but has never made mushrooms. I am thinking of burying half of it in an old raised bed with a heavy covering of straw and some weed block to make a dark tent. And then burying half in the corner of the green house with more straw. It was an oyster mushroom kit.

Re: Mushrooms
Growing my own mushrooms is on my to do list. Here is a previous thread.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: Mushrooms
Thanks! The website you have in there is a wonderful resource! http://www.homestead.org/DustinEirdosh/Fungus/FungiFarmers.htm
It is useful for the Mycorrhizae thread as well.
Now to find out if hte oyster mushrooms we have been trying to grow are 'elm' type or not. Apparently the Elms have a symbiotic relationship with brassicas especially. Companion planting just gained a whole new level

Re: Mushrooms
I just planted the mushroom kit. Half into the green house corner surrounded by fresh straw and dirt and half in the brassica bed in hte same manner. Now to see what happens.....

Re: Mushrooms
I just picked our first Oyster mushrooms! About 2 cups worth, some from the greenhouse and more from the broccoli bed.
