@Eauderay, Me to growmie π just started infecting wood logs with mycelium in early spring, i still don't know if it worked, probably another year till i see any mushrooms if any. I did include some pictures of it (if your interested;)) in my Killer Kush diary in week 5 of veg π
@Metatronix, I agree With you they are so interesting! From drugs to materials and companion planting and soil health they are so important yet almost unseen and unwanted! I am thinking of growing all kind of mushrooms. I must start clearing my shed and make space for that! lol
@Eauderay, Mycelium is a fascinating topic...obviously if it does not spoil your crop. I'm a big fan of Paul Stamets...did you watch his movie Fantastic Fungi? Even now writing to you i drink coffee with three kinds of fungi in a...very healthy fungi π
