CHAPTER 4<br />

Natural Culture: Creating<br />

Mycological Landscapes<br />

culture is the cultivation of mushrooms outdoors. After<br />

mycological landscapes are constructed and inoculated, the<br />

forces of Nature take over. I also call this "laissez-faire" cultivation<br />

—in other words the mushroom patch is left alone, subject to the<br />

whims of Nature; except for some timely watering. The mushroom<br />

hab<strong>it</strong>at is specifically designed, paying particular attention to s<strong>it</strong>e location<br />

and the use of native woods and/or garden by-products. Once<br />

prepared, the cultivator launches the selected mushroom species into<br />

a constructed hab<strong>it</strong>at by spawning. In general, native mushroom species<br />

do better than exotic ones. However, even those obstacles to<br />

growing exotic species are easily overcome w<strong>it</strong>h some forethought<br />

to design, and the helpful suggestions of an experienced cultivator.<br />
