Yep, gonna do some reading between now and then...
I seem to recall a woman who started growing
mushrooms to sell commercially in her back yard.
And she recounted what she did to get started,
what kind of trees she used. Don't remember
whether it was old logs, or felled trees. I'll see
if I can track it down. But growing 'em myself
would be a sight cheaper than buying 'em, any way
you look at it.

If you are going to grow mushrooms on trees, I believe you need to get
a freshly cut tree or one which has not been exposed already to a lot
of wild spores and moisture, but you may want to do some research.

I dunno where everyone gets their medicinal mushroom powders, but I stumbled
across this site that has either 4 oz or 1 lb sizes of just about every
mushroom powder you can think of, and they sell plugs if you want to grow
your own.
If you're interested here it is:
http://mushroompatch.com/herbal_powder.htm
Looks like 1lb of mushroom powder runs 30.00, the 4 oz is 11.00. But do you
know hoe many 500 mg - 1 gram capsules that will make? Lots and lots. It
beats 15.00 a bottle for 60 or so capsules by a long shot.
This Spring when I start my container garden experiment, I'll order some
plugs too. See if I can grow my own mushrooms. That will be even cheaper. I
can go out to the woods and get two or three, old felled trees, trim the
branches off, and see if I can grow mushrooms.
I don't know these people, never heard of them before, and just to be clear,
I ain't pushing the site, and I'm not connected with 'em in any way. If
anyone knows a cheaper place to get bulk mushroom powders, please let me
know, I'll be ecstatic. Anyway I thought I'd share the web addy. There are
several people who mentioned taking Agaricus Blazei, and that's one of the
powders they have listed. If I can't find it cheaper elsewhere, I'm gonna
get the 14 mushroom blend and the Blazei, 1 lb of each should last a while
for my family. I'd have to buy 4 or 5 bottles of the capsules somewhere
else, just for one month at my house, and that gets horrendously expensive
real fast!
I'm gonna buy one of those 8 lb bags of Thorvin Kelp too. Goodbye to the
those separate bottles of stuff that cost a fortune. Cheap, good,
nutritional insurance at that price. 8lbs will last a good long time, even
if we feed it to the guinea pigs and the dog too! I think it's a better
value because it's just about everything in one source, and it's from a
plant. The stuff should be easily absorbed and utilized.
