I've started buying mushrooms that have the full stalk and have
compost and mycelium on the base, so I am cutting this off and
lifting a bit of turf and putting them under.
My question is.
How deep should I plant the stems an inch below the surface or deeper?

And there's me trying to rid the lawn of the bloody things!


Your comment reminds me of when I was a youngster in Hastings, the council
in their wisdom top dressed The Pilot Field which was Hastings Uniteds
pitch with spent mushroom compost, turned out not as spent as they
thought,

lol I did that a few years ago but on a much smaller scale We had a
mushroom farm fairly near which sold compost. I bought a few sack for my
garden and lo and behold ... a good crop of mushroom which were well
appreciated
