Mushroom Season

In case you don’t know…

It’s time for the Spring Mushroom Season! The rains have been great and are helping the process. The weather has been a bit cool, but that is better than dry and hot for us mushroom heads.  Let us know how you do!

Spring Growing Season

Spring is almost here! Time to think about new and ongoing mushroom projects.

This time of year, I start to scheme about the various new growing projects that will be tried this season. Planning on the types of mushrooms early,  makes it easier to insure that you will  be able to get the spawn you need in time to start your project.

It also becomes important to know exactly how you plan on proceeding, so you can get the spawn in the form that you need. There are many ways to get started, but spawn purchased from a reputable source is the safest way to get started.

This is also a good time to check on your ongoing, outdoor growing projects.  With the recent warm weather, my beds have dried up some. Layering more leaves and snow on them will help them stay dormant
