-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^ So my dad has a cellar that is completely empty. We just store some plants there during the winter months. Now, I had an idea. In theory, I could plant around 100 mushrooms down there, right? There is a little bit of light coming in through a small window. Climate-wise, we are in Central Europe.
Is there anything I should know or be aware of? Are there any mushroom types that are beginner-friendly? I would plant them for personal consumption, for me and my relatives.
Bad Idea ? Good Idea ?
There is a c/mycology comm too. But yeah sounds like a good spot for it but contamination is always an issue, would recommend some oyster mushroom starter kits to get the process down.
You don't need to worry about light, but you do need to think about the growing medium. Mushrooms need a lot of carbon rich material to grow and fruit. You could look into straw-in-bucket culture for oyster mushrooms if you wanted to produce a large amount.
