Hi all,

I've been really interested in the potential uses of mycelium and all of the products we can create through the use of this incredible natural resource--from bricks, to planters, packaging, to mushroom meat! I'm curious if anyone has played around with germinating their own mycelium and what products they have found it to be successful with.

Thanks!

Hi, I used mycelium to treat my dog. Then I found out it isn't very effective for treatment. So I switched to whole mushroom powder. Mycelium for treating diseases has some value but not as much as the whole mushroom. You could still grow it for yourself, but I would be wary of govt. sensors (FDA) if I tried to sell it.

A berm makes a great wind break. And we all like to break wind once in a while. Like this tiny ad:
