David asks…
Does anyone have any good advice for growing mushrooms?
I have checked out a few kits but mainly alot of feedback says to jsut do it on your own without the kit. Idk – jus wonderin if anyones tried the kits or if theyve done it on their own.

Mushrooms are easy to grow
i have just bought myself 2 kits
its way easier than buying spores etc and the kits are fabulous,
you have everything you need and detailed instructions
i just got mine from B&Q, under £5 each, and that gives 3-4 crops
to buy this seperately, the spores alone are £4, then you need both composts and a suitable container and lid to keep them in the dark
go for a kit EVERYTIME

Mother’s day gifts for a ‘green’ mother?
I’m trying to think of what I can get for my mother for mother’s day. Our whole family thinks a lot about the environment and she and I are vegan. Here are past gifts I’ve bought her:
Grow your own mushroom kit
Quite a few charity gifts (sponser a dog etc)
Green living books
So does anyone have any ideas of what I can get her this year? Maybe something environmentally friendly for the house? Useful gifts are preffered (eg not bath salts, cosmetics or decorations etc) Thanks :o)

Mark asks…
Where can I find information on the nutrition and how to cultivate different mushrooms?
I love mushrooms and my wife is moving us toward a diet with less meat and dairy (per her research on nutrition including having read The China Study), so I thought it would be fun to cultivate mushrooms. Maybe Shiitake and Portablella but before we choose which, I would like help in determining which have the most health benefits (including if you cook them do you remove their benefits) and which you can grow on your own.
