This is great book to learn how to cultivate mushrooms
This is great book to learn how to cultivate mushrooms. I have purchased Tradd Cotter's book before. Tradd Cotter does great job describing various mushrooms and methods of cultivation. Stephen Russell starts where Tradd Cotter stops. He focus on indoor growth and explain all procedures in deepth. For example, if one wants to cultivate mushrooms in wooden logs and is willing to purchase wooden plugs from local supplier, that Tradd Cotter's book is perfect. However, if one wants to inocculate wooden plugs (or grain) by himself, Stephen Russel's book is great manual. For example, it describes how to create laminar hood system. This book may not be the first book that you want to buy to learn more regarding mushroom cultivation. But it is great second book (or the first one if you have done your internet research before).

Must have
Ce livre complète et reformule ce que Stephen Russel appelle l'Ancien et le Nouveau Testaments, c'est à dire les ouvrages de référence de Paul Stamets. Sous la forme d'un guide, l'auteur présente ici une approche pratique, abondamment illustrée, et présente sous la forme de FAQ les points critiques à chaque étape. D'une écriture très fluide, il se lit facilement, et le vocabulaire technique est systématiquement défini et reformulé pour faciliter encore la compréhension. Cet ouvrage me semble indispensable pour un débutant comme moi, à lire avant de commencer toute manip' ! J'apprécie enfin le choix de Stephen Russel de se concentrer sur la culture des espèces comestibles, sans pour autant occulter la contribution des cultivateurs de psilos.
