re: The 2021 Garden Thread

Does anyone here grow any mushrooms?

I went to a farm yesterday that has racks of old logs where they drill holes and put in a plug of spores. Talked to one of the people who said her sister grows them and she always has a ton of shitakes, reishis (?), oysters, and lions mane. She got tired of messing with it so she threw it in the compost pile. Now the compost pile is exploding with mushrooms.

I think I am going to give it a whirl and see what happens.
