Gonna ask this here first, then /hgm/ otherwise.
Been thinking about trying my hand in growing some edible mushrooms for a while now, thinking portobellos in particular (though, graduating to a certain type of mushrooms with a more "magical" quality to them isn't entirely out of the question either). Figure I'd utilize an empty and literally just sitting there collecting dust fish tank to do so. I know absolutely nothing about actually propagating fungi. The tank is about 12" x 14" x 20", somewhere between 30-40 gal. I think? Would that work? I understand that environments have to be super sterile for successful fungus growth, but is that necessarily true?
If I were to just sanitize the tank as good as I can, then fill it up with soil, dirt, leaves, twigs, and all other sorts of dead organic material, then dropped the spores in, would that not work? What else is there to do?
Pls spoonfeed me.
