Where can I find some guide for planting edible mushroom for food in the tropics.?
Question:Is it possible to plant and harvest edible mushrooms in the tropics?
Answers:
I've done it in the summertime in a temperate climate, so I'd have trouble believing that it's impossible in the tropics.
I now live in the tropics, though, so I'd be interested in your progress. I own a book, in storage far away, called Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets. If you can manage to get a hold of this book or his other book The Mushroom Cultivator, Stamets gives the ranges of temperatures that each kind of mushroom needs. Your local library, if you have such a luxury(!) may have it. If you check out the fungi.com website, you'll see that King Stropharias will fruit up to 90 degrees F, and that somebody in Brazil is growing Himematsutake commercially. Good luck!
Hi, I would think you could grow mushrooms in the tropics... it's certainly damp enough... here's a site that might work for you:
