Hi All,
Two weeks ago I began composting for the first time, and I have two
questions about fungus in the compost:
1. Can I throw poisonous mushrooms (i.e. Amanita virosa) into a compost
pile?
It is more sensible to throw edible mushrooms into the compost. If
there are a lot of grass clippings in with your compost, agaricus
campestris will fruit nicely in a compost pile, and also on ground where
you spread the compost.
Amanitas are mostly mycorrhizal, so probably won't do anything at all to
your compost pile.
