Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has ever used straw bedding from a chicken coop to grow mushrooms. I will be having lots of this being produced over the next many years and am hoping I can do more with it than just compost it. Thanks

Plant, grow, harvest, repeat!

You could certainly grow oyster mushrooms on it.
