Thank you. That was very informative. No wonder mushrooms are so
expensive in the stores!


Yep. It's my understanding that almost all the mushrooms
grown commercially in the USA are grown in Southeastern PA -
and I believe they are grown in old coal mines.

The Delmarva Peninsula is a very large chicken/egg producing
area and it wouldn't be far to truck the chicken manure
component to the mushroom-growing area - so maybe that's
where they get the chicken manure part of the compost.
