Title: Bargain or what?
Post by: cleo on March 23, 2004, 17:27:43
Went to a `garden Centre` today-not something I am fond off,but got some bags of mushroom compost at £1 20p-and it`s live-got to be worth it for the mushrooms I will get. Yes it full of mycelium whatnot and growing mushrooms even in the bag.

Cool!  Have tried those mushroom boxes and never harvested more than a few!  All round the Stephans for mushrooms on toast!  :P

I bought one of those rip-off oyster mushroom straw kits for a small fortune. So far it has some that look rather a lot smaller than the ones from the shop. Haven't eaten any yet. But I'm hoping to be able to make mushrooms and garlic on toast for one at the weekend!

I tried one of those box kits- nice taste but didn't get much for my £6. Has anyone tried those kits for growing them on toilet rolls?
