Does anyone have experience growing mushrooms in compost? I know it's possible, probably not optimal, but I don't really want to get whole new setups and source some manure or anything. I've read how grains are often the ideal starter so my plan is to just cook a couple cups of barley, let it cool, and then generously mix it into some of my homemade compost (good stuff) with a bunch of grain spawn, keep it moist and covered for a while and see what happens - just hoping for a little feedback on the plan, i don't want to spend hours on YT trying to find someone whose done specifically that.
I can cope with a little failed experiment in the garden here and there but i could get like 10 seed packets for the price of the mushroom spawns I'm a bit less gung-ho about it.
I half-arsed started growing food last year and I've impressed myself with how much I've produced. I'm still a noob but I'm looking to really double down next year and I'm definitely interested in growing some mushies
