anybody growing mushrooms in chicken poo?

[esthermgr]

I'm planning to use the deep litter method on wood chips, and I'm thinking it would be nice to set aside some of that composted sawdust/poo for growing mushrooms. Any advice? Anyone doing this? What kinds should I innoculate? Should I sterilize or just stir some innoculant into a slow composting poo pile? Anyone know anything about this?

I don't know, but if you google it you'll gets hits with info.

You'll have to post your results. Lots of shroom lovers here. The Morel posts will be starting soon.

I am soooo hoping to find some morels in my backyard this year. I pray to the mushroom fairies every morning.

I'm interested to see how this works!
