Exotic fungi have even inspired cookbooks dedicated solely to their preparation and appreciation, and mushroom foraging clubs are proliferating worldwide. Still most mushroom lovers would never consider growing their own fungi; mushroom cultivation is thought of as chancy, something best kept in laboratories.

Nevertheless, some adventurous folks (as I am :-) are growing edible fungi at home. Indeed, for some species of delicious mushrooms, cultivation is within the reach of anyone with the kitchen facilities to steam carrots.

The oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, common on living and dead wood, is one of the easiest (and most rewarding) of wild mushrooms to domesticate.

Hi Cindy,
I am only growing Pleurotus mushrooms, and know nothing about growing worms... :-)
However, I will bring some important info here and on my sites for all those who would like to start a small mushroom growing facility at home.
One important thing i must say now, it is not recommended to grow mushrooms in a basement!!! Need a separate room.

I have a damp dark basement
I think that would be the perfect spot to grow mushrooms
Since I love mushrooms I have thought about doing this
I will look forward to reading more about it from you FIRST!
