It is autumn here,
mushroom season. And like last year I want to grow mushrooms (the last attempt did fail).
I know it is not the best season to start but I always think of mushrooms in autumn.
Amongst others I want to grow reishi mushrooms. Maybe starting them indoors and then transfering them in spring outdoors.
Can I use reishi mushrooms I might find in a Chinese shop? I looked it up in the ICON database that they must either be irradiated with gamma rays
or heated for 8 hours above 85C. As they likely get burned when heated so much I guess that most of them are irradiated. I know that irradiated garlic
can grow, but not as strong as other garlic, but mushroom spores are not garlic.
