Brooks, Well, it may be the link that is senile, but certainly not you! I've bought Wayne's books and used his techniques to grow spawn on sawdust. The most challenging part of mushroom cultivation by any technique is "sterile technique". As a point of info for the list members interested in mushroom cultivation,most fungal spores are incredibly tiny and will drift into and through just about anything commonly considered a filter barrier to solid contaminants; e.g. paper towels, most coffee filters, layers of cloth etc. I went to one of Paul Stamets' seminars where he demonstrated the astonishing number of spores in "clean" air, thousands, vs. the number (under 3 per cubic foot) under a laminar flow hood with a scanned and certified filter.
As Dr. Wayne points out, it's really a race between the different fungal forms (and bacterial) and a major factor in successful mushroom growing is giving the spores and strains you like a head start in colonizing the medium.
