I'll be occupying my time during the upcoming summer break from work with a bit of gardening - a large maple tree was just taken down at the rear of the property leaving a huge stump and some torn up de-landscaped area around it. I have several types of peppers and tomatoes as well as broccoli waiting to be moved outdoors ---- And lots and lots of mushroom liquid cultures in an ever growing collection. What's odd is that I can't find any kind of USDA climate zone table for mushrooms. I know shiitake will grow here happily, and I know that lions main should be fine. Less sure about wine-caps and Agaricus Bisporus. I *think* if I get them established in the soil they should persist here in zone 5b, but can't find any actual reference to consult. I've got four different oyster mushroom types to try - no clue if any will make a re-appearance next year once established. That seems strange, but then mushroom cultivation in general beyond agaricus is actually pretty new. I remember reading books as a kid from the 40's, 50's, and maybe even early 60's that referred to "the cultivated mushroom" and there was literally only one cultivated mushroom species at the time, at least in the western world. #mycology #mushrooms #gardening #madisonwi
