Last year was my first ever experience with home grown mushrooms. I did some Wine Caps that were ?seeded in sawdust. Some one please correct my terminology. It was about a 1 gal bag. I kept some and gave some away. The spores were put into my orchard and garden in the BTE mixed hard/soft wood aged chips. I got a few hand fulls of them, saved a few mushroom prints in the fridge in hopes of starting some new patches. Any one have advice for me? Can I use the prints to start new areas? And will the original areas produce more? I did let several of them mature and decompose. I intend to plant some spinach/greens over the initial wine cap bed in the garden to help it stay moist and shaded. Pole beans shaded the area last season.
