hi all,
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 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.
