Fertilizer. I grow organically, but I love to eat vine ripened tomatoes, too. That means frequent side dressing with funky things like peruvian bat guano if I want decent crops. Everything I've found here regarding fertilizers is, "fungi arent plants." What I'm concerned about is using fertilizers that will inhibit the fungi I have growing in the same beds.
So what can I use that will do no harm? Compost tea is surely a good thing, but I dont know a lot about its chemical makeup.
Oh yeah, I'm growing King Stropharia and Elm Oysters.

hey man, im not sure, but i dont see why some good old fashioned well composted completely broken down manure would'nt do the trick. good for your plants and i dont see it harming your mushies either....
worm castings is another idea. or kelp meal. this is off the top of my head- seems to me like it'd work though, i really cant see it harming the mushies. just make sure whatever you put on is very well broken down.
Im an organic gardener too and have a bed inocculated with shaggy mane spawn- im hoping it fruits in the fall! If it does i'll be stoked! That bed was pretty well fertilized with some organic fish meal. We'll see.
Props to you!

I think Elm Oysters will grow in pretty much any rich organic soul, while garden giant will require sawdust/wood. Supposedly garden giant is a good companion plant with corn.
I have garden giant in one of my corn beds at the moment, hoping I will get some fruits this year but I planted them pretty late in the fall last year so not overly hopeful.
