One of the easiest ways to grow mushrooms in your garden is by burying fruiting blocks. You can expect mushrooms in just weeks (weather permitting), with surprise flushes for months or even years. Use blocks as compost boosters, mulch, or break them up into soil to improve moisture retention and reduce erosion. Returning mycelium to the earth nourishes the soil—your plants will thank you 🌱🙏 Pictured: a buried Chestnut mushroom block in the North Spore yard. #mushrooms #northspore #chestnutmushrooms #growyourownfood #gardenlife

Our customer Aileen bought Morel spawn in March 2022 and added some to her wood chip pile. Two years later, she was surprised to see Morels popping up in the greenhouse, right in a raised garden bed. The wood chips had been mixed into Cayuga Mix — a blend of premium screened topsoil, sand, and compost — creating ideal conditions for the fungi. Gardening in zone 5B, Aileen’s patient approach paid off with an unexpected and rewarding harvest. Have you had success growing Morels? Please share! And check out the link in bio to learn more about Morels. #northspore #morels #morel #foraging #growyourfood #mushrooms

Did you know that your potato grow bags can double as ideal containers for growing oyster mushrooms? These breathable, space-saving bags provide excellent drainage and airflow — key conditions for healthy mushroom growth. By filling them with a mix of straw and/or sawdust and Oyster mushroom spawn, you can create a productive mini mushroom farm right at home. It’s a great way to diversify your garden harvest using tools you already have! We’ve also seen folks able to grow Wine Cap in this way. Comment “🌱” to learn more about how you can companion plant mushrooms with your vegetables! 📷: @jencaputomurphy #northspore #oystermushrooms #fungi #gardening #gardeninspiration #homestead #potatoes
