    Has anybody had any success with their mushrooms?:confused:

    We bought a kit ........oooooooooooh must be six weeks ago now and nothing seems to be happening?

    Have I wasted 6 quid??

    I had no luck with mine either - was very sad about it as I was really looking forward to them :sad:
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Hello everybody!!! ~I have found a packet of mushroom seeds or should you call it spawn? (agaricus). Anyway, just like you, I wanted to grow my own mushrooms but the packets suggests to use well rotted /composted horse manure. Are there any suggestions where I could buy this apart from the local horse farm? Please help!!!:o
    Ring your local Police Station and find out where they have the nearest Police horses.

    I bought one of those kits about 30 years ago....the sort that is contained in a polystyrene box with a piece of tape laid across the surface, the other end of which is in a jar of water to keep the moisture level correct. Kept it at the top of the stairs. Got absolutely loads of mushrooms from it but also hundreds of tiny little flies which spoilt it a bit!
