Latimer, Iowa (north central) | Has anyone on here used spent mushroom substrate on their fields? I was offered 100,000 lbs a week of spent organic, sterilized, mushroom substrate for pretty much the cost of hauling. From what I can find it doesn't have alot of nutrients but wondering about the fungi and if they are beneficial? It appears that potting soil is frequently up to 15% mushroom dirt so it must do some good? My thoughts are to mix it with animal manure to spread?
from google:
Spent mushroom substrate (sometimes called mushroom soil, recycled mushroom compost, or mushroom compost) can improve soil structure, reduce surface crusting and compaction, promote drainage, increase soil microbial activity, and provide nutrients to turfgrasses. |
Magic mushrooms?
