Please note. these are NOT my grows. however, i do have some knowledge of mycology.
Fungus gnats have haunted my grow for the last 2 seasons which suggests my soil is growing some fungus. If you guys know how to grow shrooms I thought you might be able to suggest a way to keep my plants soil fungus free. The tap water they get is pH 8 which I thought might be helping the fungi?
Compost tea should help with stopping or preventing fungus in soil....I have used milk in a fine mist sprayer for my mycology ....Robisburning said:
10% milk solution: pour 1 oz. milk (= 2 Tbsp.) into a spray bottle. Pour 9 oz. water (= 1 cup + 2 Tbsp.) into the same spray bottle, mix thoroughly. If you have plain yogurt on hand, add anywhere from 1 tsp. to 1 Tbsp. plain yogurt to the milk/water mix and shake vigorously, then spray where needed...
Awesome, thanks. I just gave the plants a soak in worm casting enriched water, will that likely have a similar effect?

Mushrooms, mushrooms and more mushrooms. Eating them every night, giving them away to friends and family and brought some to a couple restaurants. they loved them. I can see that if you really know your stuff you could make a really nice profit growing mushrooms. 
Fantastic grow freeport. Be sure to post pics of the logs as well.
I am itching to get into this myself, well, the gourmet side. Love the fungi. The medicinal strains are cool, too. Turkey tails and such.
The guy who runs fungi.com is really a wicked activist, albeit a little loopy from the psilly. Worth having a look at his talks on youtube. Mindblowing, in fact.

You can easily make a living off of mycology.....I have 2 restraunts that I sell my lions mane and enokis to..I cant keep up with their demand and I have a serious grow setup...and in summer I setup a table at the local farmers market every Saturday that I have a flush ready and my table is all folded up within 2 hours due to selling out ...
It's a great supplemental income if you really get a system down and purchaser setup for your product...
