Does anybody know where I can obtain advice and materials for growing
edible fungi at home. I've tried a kit for growing agaricus bisporus
which was reasonably succesful but these mushrooms are readily available
from the shops here in the UK.
What I would like to grow are oyster fungi (Pleurotus cornucopiae,
P. dryinus or P. ostreatus) or Japanese Shittaki or Penny Bun Boletus
(Boletus Edulis also called Cep, Steinpilze or Porcino).
Does anyone have experience of growing these?
Another interesting one is the Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius).
Is it possible to farm them?
TIA
