Does anyone have any links to a tutorial on how to grow mushrooms, from store bought mushrooms, at home? Just looking for something to do, and being able to grow those basic white or brown mushrooms from the store seems like something to do. I would also imagine it could be good for my garden.
I know how to get a spore print from a cap, but like, what do I do next? Just put it in dirt?
Any help would be appreciated!
You can do a thing called a live tissue transfer where you use living flesh of the mushroom to inoculate agar then use that to inoculate a growing medium such as brown rice/grain.
I would suggest getting a copy of Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms By Paul Stamets
The person has some bad takes and I disagree with how he markets some shit nowadays, but this book was written 20 years ago and is by far and wide the best and most approachable book on the subject of growing edible/medicinal and psychedelic mushrooms out there, including what you’re asking OP.
Genuinely one of the best resources to get started with.
