Hi folks,

As I've got a field now, I fancy trying to sow some normal mushrooms in
it. I'm guessing I need Agaricus campestris, but I can't seem to find
anywhere that sells spawn.

I'm sure years ago as a kid I bought some - they were in an overlarge
whitish paper seed packet (the company did two sizes of packs, small for
normal, large for stuff like peas).
Thinking back, I'd guess the spawn was impregnated into some kind of
grain??
Whatever, can't find any, can't remember the company (although I've got
a sneaking suspicion it was T&M in an old style pack - 30 years ago!!)

Can anyone help??

Put some ripe mushrooms gills-down on a piece of white paper and leave it
like that for, say, 24 hours, and you will have collected more than a
million spores on the paper.
