Mushroom blocks can produce several harvests, but this productivity doesn’t last forever. Over time, the yield decreases, prompting the need for disposal.
A straightforward approach is to use them as mulch in your garden. Surprisingly, you might notice mushrooms sprouting up. Hence, it’s advisable to place them in a shaded area to encourage mushroom fruiting.
Furthermore, you have the option to overlay the mushroom substrate with garden soil or compost to maintain moisture levels. Before long, you’ll witness mycelium extending into the soil. I personally utilize compost to replenish the diminishing substrate in my oyster mushroom growing buckets after a few harvests, a method that notably enhances yield.
If you happen to engage in worm farming, you’ll discover that worms relish this abundant feast. Mycelium effectively breaks down the substrate, making it a readily consumable meal for the worms. Even if you choose to dispose of it in your garden, you’ll likely find that worms love it.
