    4. Button Mushrooms and other Agaricus species can be cultured easily than other mushroom types as they can easily grow on compost.

    5. For other types, buy Mushroom plugs from stores. Drill the log upto 6 inches and plug the mushrooms inside the drilled holes so that they have enough moisture to absorb from the log.

    6. Cover the plugs with cheese wax so that the spawns are safe and place logs in a shaded place where there is no sunlight and keep watering the logs every time you see them dry.

    7. Making Compost takes very long, but Mushroom grow when the compost is white which means it is rich in actinomycetes bacteria that provide nutrients that mushrooms want. Adding gypsum or calcium sulfate to compost will keep the temperature under control for the Mushrooms to grow well.
