Growing Mushrooms

Growing mushrooms have always be a mystery to me but this video seems to simplifies the process. If you're in Chicago check out the Illinois Mycological Association, they host mushroom hunts. http://www.illinoismyco.org

This is an excellent vid, Debbie. Thanks for it. Have been wanting to grow mushrooms for some time.

I've had good luck growing shitakes and oyster mushrooms but nothing beats going on a foray and finding free 'shrooms in the wild. Definitely hook up with your local mycological society/mushroom club to learn what's safe and what's not. I had chanterelles that I found on our property for dinner tonight. Heaven!

That's good advice, Alison. Have been following your myco education at your blog and it sounds like a lot of fun.

My father used to bring morels home from the golf course, fry in butter, and...ah.
