Book: Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World by Paul Stamets
If you are interested in growing mushrooms or understanding what mycelium can do to improve your garden and farm, this is a good book.
I like how Paul Stamets introduces the idea of casual cultivations that anybody can do at home from cardboard spawn to natural spore methods. I thought clean laboratory was essential to start mushroom culture (and still is for most pure culture), but he shows various methods that we can use to start our mycelium running.
I have experimented with cardboard butt spawn, wood chip spawn and it works quite well. Natural mushrooms are of course better adapted than commercial mushrooms, but it gives ideas that you can be creative.
Many of the supplies can be purchased from his store at fungi perfecti (fungi.com) and it's organic too.
