I'll see if I can find it around here. I know we have fish worm compost. I compost kitchens scraps, grass cuttings,leaves, etc. in two 55-gallon plastic drums with holes drilled in the bottom and around the sides. It takes at least a year to get a black, uniform texture medium.
Your county agent may have some suggestions about the fungus. Despite that, bottoms are usually the richest dirt around here. I wish I had an acre or two.
I live where Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama all come together. Eight miles from Shiloh Military Park.
I’m over near Chattanooga. For some reason mushroom compost is abundant here. I suppose someone is using an old coal mine for growing culinary mushrooms somewhere close by. Every garden supplier around seems to have a big pile of it. Good stuff.
I was standing up to do something as I read this sentence. It made me do a double take. I grew up in Corinth. My mom and a sister are still there. I also have a sister in Adamsville. That's home to me. Hope to get down there this weekend and fish a little if weather permits. It's just a little over 2 hrs drive from just north of Memphis.
