Has anyone used mushroom compost mixed into a soil mix? Is this even a good idea?
Thanks!

Yes.. I have used mushroom compost for the last 2 outdoor seasons. I'm sold on it.I mix it 1/2 n 1/2 with valley soil and a few odds n ends and have had good results. Here is one thing that I got with mushroom compost..Red Backed Jumping Spiders,or something close to that.This is no lie..The first time I used mushroom compost I was mixing things up and uh oh something moving..damn bugs...Well I got the camara and got the macro going and got pictures of these tiny red backed bugs..My first thought was no pest strips till I read futher and it said these guys eat SPIDER MITES.. Yes thats what it said. Well I haven,t seen a spider miter since I started using M.C. And thats the truth. I honestly haven't checked this years batch but they were there the past 2 years...Anyway I say go for it.You might even get a mushroom or two...Red
Yes, the mushroom compost came from a mushroom farm and yes I also got tiny mushrooms.Heck put them in your salad haha.I am growing outdoors and I'm guessing your doing a indoor grow? I would just keep an eye on them and i bet you will be fine.Try not to worry too much.Pot is a strong plant and it looks and sounds like your doing a good job.My only other advice...worms.I always add a few just in case.They airate the soil and are just good to have around..Happy Hemping, Red
you know that may be true....We used to pick "Liberty caps",(that rings a bell) out in cow fields and even right out of a pie.....You may have a extra cash crop there.haha ...the ones we ate had a thick jell on the top..i think? that was a ways back,
Now that i really look at your shrooms I think you have some no high ones.The ones I remember had a thick membrane with a nipple on its top.Now that was 40 some years back but thats what i remember. You knowm look up and see if there is any mushroom farms near you.They usually will sell it right off the pile out back.I bring big garbage bags and fill em up for 5 bucks each....Just be sure its aged well...Boy those will be some happy worms !!
