So im new to sailing /live aboard life. Im doing
research on foods that can be cultivated on boats, and canning meats etc for long term
food supply. For some reason i can find zero information about growing edible mushrooms on a
boat. All i find is stories about wooden boats with bad mushrooms. I know growing veggies is very complex on a cruising
boat, but mushrooms love damp dark conditions. Perfect on a boat. So why are people not growing shitake ,
oyster, or similar edible mushrooms? Great source of
food with little
work. Plus storing away in dark while sailing would not adversely effect them. Any information you guys have to share or ideas would be great. Im thinking sprouts, simple plants, and mushrooms would all be amazing additions to reducing costs of
living aboard. Thanks for your time.
