GeorgeLondon Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 . Please, Where can I buy the COMPLETE already ready spawn / mycelium of: 1) Macrolepiota procera (parasol / dapperling) and: 2) Boletus edulis to grow? Please, any links? When I say: "the COMPLETE already ready spawn / mycelium", I mean... just to put it into a ground in a garden. And in a few months to see beautiful mushrooms. I do not mean to buy any seeds but I mean, already ready all the things including the soil and whatever what is needed, everything together, one mix. Just to put it into a ground in a garden. Because, please, understand, I have no experience how to grow any mushrooms. Many thanks for any links! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNY Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Mushroom Mountain sells Parasol spawn. I am not sure if they ship to Canada. Also as they are located in South Carolina, their spawn may be more suitable to warmer climates. However, London (Ontario, I presume) is reasonable mild compared to where I am. One person who lives close to me, does harvest huge Parasols, usually in early September. They grow on an very old (30+ year) abandoned manure and garden waste pile at the edge of an old hay field. They appeared there naturally. So Parasol type mushroom do grow in cold climates As far as I know, B. edulis has not been commercially produced with any success. I find plenty of them in mixed forest: aspen, red maple, bur oak, spruce and balsam fir. The easiest mushroom to grow in a backyard garden is Wine Caps. Just put 4-6 inches of wood chips (not conifer) onto open ground, preferably shaded. Add the spawn. It will produce late summer and then several times for the next 2-3 years. Wylie Mycologicals near Owen Sound sells it but they are currently still on winter holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeLondon Posted April 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hmmmm, so, nothing for UK? The weather in UK is OK for Macrolepiota procera and Boletus edulis. But, just to find someone who can send the COMPLETE already ready spawn / mycelium to UK with a phytosanitary (Plant Health) certificate?
