I haven't tried growing my own spawn from pure cultures before, but plan to this fall or next spring, which should make growing edible mushrooms far more economical in the long run.

That's encouraging, fonseca. I often wondered about the commercially available mushroom 'seeds' and I evenr ead somewhere that they won't produce... Glad you proved them wrong.
