Haha, sorry about the title; I was just wondering if anyone had any good tips about indoor mushroom growing? I think I might like to try that out this winter.
Oh, well I'll leave the Oysters for professionals then, hahahI was in the delicatessen with my mate when he noticed a bag of dried Morels priced at £10.
He kicked himself as a load of them had come up from some bark chippings he'd laid in the garden. He didn't know what they were & left them
I used to work on a mushroom farm, one of the neighbouring farms tried growing Oysters in the tunnels, loads of spawn started growing around the extractor fans and everyone was coming down with flu like symptoms. Not one to grow indoors then by the sounds of it
I love mushrooms! I ate them for the very first time around two weeks ago and I already love them. But are they really safe to eat? Lately, a few people died in my country because of mushroom poisoning. They picked them by themselves in the woods though, I would buy mine at the store. But I'm still a little scared After all, the seller might mistake a poisonous mushroom for a safe one
I won't try growing them, because it sounds too complicated
Neat, but what did you cook them in/make with them?Not with Morels, but i've used plenty of other dried mushrooms. You can by them in the Chinese supermarkets over here.
Need soaking overnight before cooking usually.
Then maybe I shouldn't buy them. I'm pretty sure that I couldn't identify any mushrooms, they all look pretty much the same to me. My parents don't like them, so I've never eaten them when I was younger, I don't have any experience. I guess it's better not to take any riskNot heard of poisonings from store bought ones, most commercial ones come from farms, not from the wild, but as a rule I wouldn't buy any that I couldn't identify myself.
Only needs one mistake and you die horribly with no antidote.
There's a mushroom id group on Facebook (think Chanell signed me up to it) Just the other night someone posted a picture of what he thought were Magic mushrooms, they were poisonous Inocybe toadstools.
