Lots of info

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wife says it's pretty cool
*by D***S on March 27, 2025*

It's pretty cool and seems to be thorough. Good buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not an "Idiots Guide..."
*by R***. on March 25, 2013*

I really love this book. I knew nothing about mushrooms and I wanted to learn how to grow them at home for use in cooking. We use tons of mushrooms in my house...we love 'em. This is not a full color, step by step guide to starting a little mushroom log. This is more of a text book....though a very entertaining textbook...the writing is not completely dry, which was refreshing. It was a little intimidating at first. It definitely deals with things on at least a farm sized scale and easily on an industrial scale.There is however a wealth of useful information that can be gleaned from this book about. For instance:-- Temperature for mycelium run of a particular species-- temperature to initiate fruiting at-- humidity to hold the room at-- substrata to use for the different species-- different ways to sterilize substrata-- how to take a spore print-- how to inoculate substrata-- Basic principles of farming mushrooms-- how to assess your environment and practices to improve your sterility controls+ more more moreI am no science wiz, but I am curious and daring. For the amateur scientist who likes to take their hobbies a little to seriously sometimes, this is the uber book of mushroom cultivation. For the strict beginner that needs to be walked through things slowly and methodically...or just doesn't want all the scientific mumbo-jumbo, this could be an information overload that will frustrate you. If you're ready to do some additional research to figure out how to scale things down and where to find alternative equipment that doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars, this book will be great for you. I dream of a corner of my basement set up as a clean room for culturing spores and tissue from plants.
