I've had a couple of those kits in the polystyrene box, Unwins, I think, first one grew really well, second one not so good.
Am currently using spawn and rotted manure, it is a bit cold for them but someting is happening, temp needs to be above 10C. Ideally 15C.
Would like to try the dowels, from what I have read, fresh hardwood, felled within the last 6 weeks and it takes a year at least.
Straw kits look interesting.
Thing is with mushys, they grow the opposite way to other plants, not much light and in damp conditions. Using the spawn the idea is that you start getting the threads and then dump manure on top which shocks them in to fruiting and thats where the mushroom comes from.
Once I've got my giant pumpkin obsession out of the way, I will be looking into edible mushroom growing in a big way.
