I decided to try growing some mushrooms this year.
I got some Wine Cap spawn.



And an Italian oyster block.



I prepped a bed on the outskirts of the greenhouse with some partial sun and followed the directions, clear down to dirt, spread straw, spread wine cap spawn, cover with more straw and finally cover with wood chips. That's the 4x4 area in the foreground. The oyster bloc got cut in half and buried just below the surface, covered with dirt and wood chips. That's the area in the back part of the bed.



I also took some wine cap spawn and spread it along the side of one of the beds in my new outdoor garden.
Wish me luck!
