I'm a newbie and trying to start healthy gardening in our little family livestock farm in the south of France. We have an empty barn that I'm considering to cultivate mushrooms. Anyone has ideas to share? Lucy, where do you get your mushroom spawns from? We are 700m above sea level in the Cervennes.
Thanks all

hi julie! I'm sure you can buy spawn online from producers in france. just do a search. you could grow in your barn. could do oysters in burlap. king stropharia on the floor. going to have to water more often indoors than if you grew under a shady tree outside but it could be done. they should have bare ground contact to produce the most mushrooms.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the info. From what I've searched, most are supplying home kits from overseas. Here, outdoors are quite windy and we are surrounded by chestnut trees, so I'm not sure if that's a suitable option as there are no other mushroom cultivators here neither. But thanks for the heads-up. Will have to read up and do more research then.
