    Hi everyone, Just wondering if its possible to get toadstool seeds or potted ones anywhere in Ireland? I love the look of them and I think they would grow well in my front garden.
    Thank you!

    I've had a nosey on ebay and got back 'mushroom sports' when i had actually searched for 'mushroom spores'.. also google doesn't help much cos all that's coming back with is 'shroom' growing kits... perhaps you could try luring mushrooms into your garden by leaving some damp dead wood lying round

    fungus actually needs something to feed on, so you would need something in the garden that is probably not already there.

    you can buy mushroom dowel kits which fruit from rotting hardwood, but i suspect you're looking for something to grow in your lawn?

    thanks for the replies, what type of things do mushrooms feed off?? we live in a boggy part of the country so the front garden is mossy grass very smushy doesnt get much light, i wouldnt mind where they grew in the garden really, are they native to Ireland? we do have random bits of old fence around the sides of the house maybe ill have a root around see if i can see anything! anyone have any links to where you can buy these mushroom dowel kits?
    thanks again!
