Did you know that your garden might just be the perfect microclimate for mushrooms?
Plant & Grow fruiting blocks are ready-to-grow – you just find a shady spot in your garden amongst your plants or veggies, dig a hole, and then cover the block with some soil or straw to protect it from drying out.

This is the perfect microclimate for growing mushrooms. It is nice and humid under here, close to the ground, shady. A fruing block is basically amended sawdust supplemented and hydrated and it’s fully colonized with the mushroom mcelium and the mushrooms just have to fruit out of the top when the environment is correct. This fruing block can be put in the ground and it’s even being watered all the time just like these plants inside. When we put things in tents and we had fans and humidifiers, we’re just trying to mimic this microclimate that we can create in our gardens with all of these lush, beautiful plants, veggies, flowers. And you know what? I’m being honest here when I tell you that I get my best mushrooms when I grow them outside in the garden.

Would the spores spread to the rest of the bed and fruit in subsequent years as well?
I have that shirt! 🍄🟫🍄✌🏽❤️
Is that so with dung loving species as well?
Letting the mycelium do its thing in your garden is going to pull nutrients that your plants can use and the fungi thrives!
I not know it's ok to grow Addison's as companion to garden plants. Now, you got thinking. I just started a raised bed succession garden in front yard mulched. This far, I'm being trained by the garden to be more attentive in desert environment and observe. 😅❤✊🏿 I'm intrigued.
What's your zone? This doesn't seem to work where I live in zone seven northern arizona, the stuff I get does not resemble a regular mushroom. What zones would this work in?
