Home Grown Oyster Mushrooms

     Fresh wild mushrooms are difficult to find locally in most winter months. The next best substitute would be cultivated grown locally. These can be costly, and only available when the growers crop is mature. So, how do we over come these obstacles? Grow your own!!
     I'm not a mushroom eater. In fact I don't eat any fresh mushroom. However I do have friends who enjoy many varieties of fresh. The pictures below are a by-product of a soil decomposition project experiment. The objective, to decompose sawdust into soils in 3 months, using oyster mushroom. It works great, and produces mushrooms too!!!

     The process wasn't that difficult. 1/2 pound inoculated grain into 5 gallon (1 cubic foot) unsterilized sawdust. The container was placed outside in a shed and forgotten. 3 months later, mushrooms!!! Temps were down in the teens during the growing period, yet they grew with no care, or special enviroment.
