I already tried 3 times to grow mushrooms. On
wood chips, wood dust, and trunks. All failed without producing a single growth. The mushrooms that we know and want to eat grow when it's warm and wet, but on my property when it's wet it's too cold and when it's warm
enough it is completely dry.
I thought that it would be way more
sustainable to eat what grows naturally and I have downloaded entire Mykoweb website:
Mykoweb - The fungi of California
However, even with few thousand quality photographs this website has, I'm still finding mushrooms that I can not identity and I'm not going to take a risk for something that I can live without.
So far I have found only one mushroom that I was able to identity and that is considered edible and good:
Clitocybe nuda, but was still a little bit afraid to eat it. If it grew by itself it would make sense to propagate it on my property.
