Title: Mushrooms
Post by: purpleangelxxx on October 14, 2007, 14:03:37
Hi Everyone,

Was looking for some more advice please ( hope I'm not being too cheeky?)

I have some mushroom spawn and was wondering how I go about planting it. I often heard you need to grow mushrooms in the dark?
What sort of soil/compost would I need? Would I be able to grow them in the shed?

Any advice would be much appreciated! I believe they are button mushrooms!
