Growing mushrooms in my vermicompost bin?

Will the 'shroom's and worms compete? Like to the deterrent of the other? I was thinking of my indoor worm bin as a fruiting box being it has so much rich soil already.

Since I'm not looking for large flushes, I figure to utilize a 1/3 of the bin for the 'shroom growth.

Ya? Nay?

I was looking forward to seeing the answer to your question.

Do you keep a lid over your vermicompost bin?

That might be a problem.

I am hoping someone will chime in soon.

As someone who knows next to nothing about growing mushrooms, I can't be too sure, but seem to remember reading somewhere (on permies?) that worms will eat mycelium? I think it was mentioned in the context of a mycocompost/vermicompost combo not working? Unless I just dreamed that...

Eino, everyone,

I am afraid that I was responsible for the misinformation about worms eating mycelium.  They don’t.  I was posing a question based on a failed experiment and bad information.  But just to be clear, worms and mycelium play nicely with each other.

Turns out that mushrooms like having some bacteria around and worms will help deliver those bacteria.  Also, the resulting compost will be absolutely amazing!

Thank you for answering the question.

That would have been my guess.
