Mushroom bonanza

The wine cap mushrooms have been a great success growing on woodchip from a friendly tree surgeon. Only £8 for the spawn and I've had up to three punnets of mushrooms some weeks. Much easier to succeed with these than the white agaricus. This is my second year with growing these and the spawn is easy to cultivate once you have it. This picture shows a bed where I dug a trench last autumn and filled it with fresh woodchip along with a spadeful of inoculated woodchip from last years bed. As you can see the slugs like these too, but there are enough to share!
