What substrate should I use for lion's mane mushrooms in my backyard?
As an architect turned gardener, I’ve been experimenting with growing different types of mushrooms in my backyard. I’ve tried a variety of substrates, including straw and sawdust, but I'm particularly curious about which substrate works best for lion's mane mushrooms. My garden is situated in a well-drained area with good airflow, but I want to ensure I'm using the right material to maximize yield. Given that I have been focusing on creating a sustainable garden setup, I'm also interested in using materials that are locally sourced and environmentally friendly. Can anyone share their experiences or expertise on the ideal substrate for lion's mane mushrooms? What have you found works best?
