Mushroom is

two crops of mushrooms a
year,
for three to five years.
Attractively gift boxed, the kit is ideal for mushroom
enthusiasts and gardeners alike. It contains everything

mushrooms in the garden.

A
willow log which has been plugged
6 months ago. The white material growing in the
cracks, and around the plug sites, is called
mushroom mycelium-which is the mushrooms root
system. This
is a very good visual indication that all is progressing
well and that mushrooms will soon be on their
way. |

Helping
Nature Recycle & Reduce Waste…introducing
wild oyster mushrooms into your garden, allotment, or woodland,
helps complete the natural cycle of decomposition. Dead
wood can take many years to return its nutrients to the
soil. Oyster mushrooms accelerate this process by feeding
on the lignin and cellulose contained within wood.
Waste
Watch reports
that up to 1.6 million tonnes of wood waste is being
disposed in landfill sites every year.
'There is little scope
for the recycling of wood waste. Whilst companies
exist for the collection and reuse/recycling of pallets
and
crates, for example, there are no such facilites
for household waste'.

Growing
Tips...
- conifer and hard woods logs (and
also stumps still rooted in the ground) are best
- mushrooms appear in Spring
and Autumn, usually around 18 months after being plugged
- during dry spells water morning
and evening with a hose
- mushrooms are best picked in
the morning and enjoyed for breakfast on wholemeal
toast
