How would I grow different mushrooms and fungus?
By this I don't mean "magic mushrooms" but I would like to know how they are grown. I understand psilocybe mushrooms grow quite often on cow dung.
I currently have some wet bread in a bottle dark cupboard.
I am curious about other types of fungus as there isn't really many different fungi that grow on bread.
Know that I only want to know this for study purposes. I left school at 16 but still want to learn so I do it all myself when not at work. If I learn how to grow "Magic Mushrooms" I will not eat them of course, in case of mistaken identity and eating toxins.
I am aware of toadstools growing in pine forests, generaly, and penacilin growing on bread.
This seems like a very fun project and want to see all the different types of fungi there are, and the colors.
If there is a specific way to grow very colorful mushrooms please let me know.
To grow an ordinary fungus and to grow mushrooms ( even though they are also 100 % ffungi !!!) are two quite different things .
First , let us tackle ordinary fungi -
1) The bottled bread that you have will produce only ordinary fungi Such as bread mold ( Mucor ) , Rhizopus , Aspergillus and Penicillum.

2 ) Now for Mushrooms - It is not easy to grow them for a simple reason that different mushrooms have different requirements ( Here I am talking about Edible mushrooms only )
