has anyone tried to grow mushrooms?

I have tried and failed on a couple different attempts. It definitely is not as easy as the instructions on the packages you buy make it sound. I have given up the hope of growing mushrooms, although there must be a way since there are tons of commercially grown mushrooms for sale.

I have even tried several times to harvest spores from wild mushrooms that I do collect and get them started in all sorts of ways. I guess that they need certain conditions that I just cannot duplicate.

Good luck. It is worth a try but don't have high hopes. You may get lucky, someone has to.
