Book Reviews of Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms

Book Review: Valuable advice
Summary: 4 Stars

I haven't gone practical yet, but Paul Stamets book leads me to believe that growing mushrooms could seriously improve the return on otherwise valueless timber in my wood (thank you all you Baltic states!). Stamets evidently knows his stuff, and has focussed my study on the practical issues in terms of log cultivation and choice of tree species. I will update this in 12-18 months when I have experimented, as directed, with the Welsh timber available to me.
