However, you can do it even cheaper by making 'logs' out

much clay in it,
I would think.
I've seen somewhere else that oyster mushrooms will grow
on chipboard -
but that might depend on the wood the chips came from.
I'm going to look deeper into this, our cook's been asking
about
oyster mushrooms. I saw something in one of the weekend
papers a month
or two back about a microbiologist & a forester who have
teamed up
growing a vast range of edible fungi on low value timber.
I think
they're selling spores as well. I can get as much sawmill
waste as I
can take away, I just need the spores and the know how.
Please keep us informed about how to contact that pair of
entrepreneurs.
