Hi Bonnie, I would like to trade or postage for Fescue. I read your page. My heart is broken. Thank God for his comfort! Bless you & your family, Robin Here is a link that might be useful: My Trade Page

Several years ago I had a big bunch of mushrooms in the front yard. They seemed to be spreading in lines, not rings. One morning I came out and picked a full 5 gallon bucket from one day�s growth. They looked like they were progressing to the neighbor�s yards. I did some research and some university sites said golf courses used a product, I think called "Prairie", but I could not find any sources. They also used a "wetting agent". I finally decided to try a fungicide. I bought GreenLight brand Fung-away from a local nursery. The product came in a hose end sprayer. I added some of the wife�s laundry spot cleaner "Sunburst" as a wetting agent. I used one quart in an area of about 15 by 20 feet. Then I soaked it in good, trying to get it deep enough to get to the actual fungus area. This worked. I used one Qt Sept 08, and had to use another Pint along the edge of the previous infection in Aug 10. No more mushrooms. However, in July, 11 I have a new infection, in a line, right at the edge of the area I previously treated. Green Light no longer makes or sells Fung-away. My container label was damaged, but the active ingredient as best I can see was Triadmegon, Triaoliyil and Chionophanory. Do not quote me on these names, the label is almost gone. Since I could not buy Fung-away, I tried a Bayer Advanced product called Fungus Control for Lawns, with Propiconazole. I made two applications, first 8 oz with Shout in July, and the rest of the quart in early September. Today I picked more mushrooms on that line. I need to find another product. Can I buy Consan-20 in California?

Nothing to do with cat pee. Mushrooms happen when there's dead organic matter available to be colonized. That dead stuff could be thatch, compost that was into the ground, dead roots, and more. So just marvel at nature's recycling efforts. Then if the mushrooms are unwanted, collect and compost or trash.

Hi. I'm new to growing mushrooms. I'm planning to grow king oyster mushrooms in coffee ground. Couple questions" 1. How big does a container have to be? Or, what's the minimum size that one should use to grow mushrooms. I was planning to use a one-gallon milk jug, would that be sufficient? 2. How big do air holes have to be? I'm assuming these are the same holes that they'd fruit out of (Is there a term for those holes?) Would I get large mushrooms even if the hole is small or do I need large holes for larger mushrooms? 3. How do keep the containers moist? Do you have to open them up to add water? Would that risk contamination? 4. What if you find mold or something growing? Can you risk opening up your container to nip it in the bud or is it simply a goner? If the mushroom grows fast enough, can it overtake the mold such that this wouldn't be a problem? Thanks and if I have any more questions, I'll ask.
