Growing Mushrooms in your Garden

Growing mushrooms can be an integral part of your outdoor annual or permaculture garden.

In the following video you will learn how to set up a number of systems for growing a whole range of mushrooms.

A woodchip system is ideal for growing winecap mushrooms.  Winecaps will also do really well in the mulch around established fruit and nut trees.  Once established around trees they will reappear each season for a new crop, that is they become a perennial.

There’s also a way to grow oyster mushrooms in an established vegetable bed that has a straw mulch on it.

Another great idea is to make a raised garden bed out of logs that have been used for a couple of years, to grow shiitake mushrooms.

Whole straw bales make a great substrate for growing different colored (species) of oyster mushrooms.

You can even repurpose a plastic hamper for great results.

The best part about this video it shows you how to set up the various systems, and then it shows you the great results a few months later.

Enjoy the growing and then the eating.
