"GrowingMushrooms" news and stories

I had been planning on extolling the virtues of mushroom storage bags. But when I searched Google to try and find the type I use, I didn't include "storage" in my search and came up with mushroom bags of a completely different feather.

Did you know that you can buy special bags full of grains to grow your own? You order a bag, do a little sterile injecting, put it in a warm and dark place, and before you know it, you've got your own little mushroom farm -- enokitake, oyster, shiitake, maitake, morels... All the fungal flavor you could want! Once you get the hang of it, finished indoor patches can be brought outside for further growth on hardwood, and you can experiment with growing 'shrooms outside of the handy bags. You can't get much more local than your own home!

If you want to learn more, I'd suggest starting with ShamanShop.net, which has a ton of information about mushroom growing techniques, how-to's, and specific products. If you're already a mushroom grower, please comment below! I'd love to hear about your experiences.
