I’v been looking into increasing my winter food production and it occured to me that growing mushrooms might be worth a go. I’m just unsure as to how to go about it. I get the occasional field mushroom https://www.trufflemagic.com/blog/psilocybe-villarealiae/ which are very nice but i’d like more. Do i need to buy the spores? or can i just pinch them from the existing mushroom population? Will i need to heat the growing area?
i’v got an old book on the topic but it insists that i need to make or purchase mushroom compost.
any advise or experience would be much appreciated.
Good luck McKenley because it’s not so easy and everything needs to be right. My father tried once and failed, I have tried but not systematically enough. That old book may be correct.
Sorry I cannot help.
