Default Anyone ever use mushroom compost for tomatoes?

(nothing beyond the subject)

I started one of my gardens with 7 yards of mushroom compost. I
eventually found one horse shoe and numerous nails. Everything grew
well. (I wish I had been able to start my current garden the same way.)

I've read that mushroom compost is heavy with salt content and must be
used sparingly for that reason.

Yes, Mushroom compost is an excellent addition for vegetable growing
the Mycorrhizal activity allows the plant to extract nutrients from the soil
more easily
