Bill,

You got me thinking about mushroom. I live with 20 million other fine upstanding citizens, so green space is at a premium. I have a little strip of land that we have been trying to garden between our house and the back house. It is only 10 feet wide and even has a partial roof with northern exposure, so it doesn't get much sun. I have yet to find a packet of vegetable seeds that does not say "full sun" on it. Dark leafy greens were suggested on the web. They were doing well until the owner had the place painted and the painters walked all over my garden for a week.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I am wondering how 'shrooms will do back there. I am guessing they need a dark moist environment. Dark I have covered, but we don't get much moisture in SoCal. I think you used to live out this way. How do you think mushroom would do?
