Hello!

[CLSranch]

Howdy and welcome newcomer. I've spoke to you on BYH. I'm mostly on or at least used to be on BYC. I've been wondering ALOT about how to grow mushrooms. I've found some pre planted logs in Burgess my seed/plant magazine, yet the shipping is the same as the log. Therefore I'm very curious about growing edible mushrooms. I have a corner in my garden that is to shady for any succesfull vegetables and mentioned to the wife the other day it would be perfect for mushrooms. One of the things I love in many variations and do not grow.
I'm all ears.

Welcome!

There are places around here that sell spore and plugs for mushrooms. They grow well outdoors in my climate. I have a good spot under some trees that I've thought about using. Close enough to the pond for easy watering in summer. Shady enough that they will do well.

I was near there not long ago but now about 1,900 mls away. I don't know if they have them here or not. Not to say the don't just that I don't know.

Newcomer, now that's original. Magic or non-magic mushrooms?

Anyone else finding that the edit function is not working on this site? Beware: if you expect mushrooms to establish in your garden.... you'll have to keep the chickens/ducks away from your shroom sites!!!

Is it that they will eat them before they can get going or they put to much nitrogen in the soil. I'm guessing the 1st.

Yeah, the chickens scratch up the microcelium so they prevent the bed from forming

X2. . That would be the big thing.

Those little super tiny mushroom "roots" are so fine and delicate... when wild harvesting you have to be very careful, cut with a sharp knife right at or above ground.

Any other suggestions for good eating mushrooms. I looked up fungi.com. Some of those they sell a a specific salt for are around here and I never thought about eating.
I did not find the wine cap there. I'm also not sure about what to order. They have a guide on what is good for your area and when but, I don't know which on that list is good to eat.
Any other gardening I can get a quicker grasp on. Makes me feel dump.
