Looking for more recent litterature.

I have started reading the Paul Stanments "Growing Gourment Mushrooms" book, but it feels very outdated, yes there are some definite obvious points that still stay true to this day, but some of his practices i've read seem outdated as well. So I want to find something more my wife can sit down and read that's a little more recent, does anyone have any suggestions?

The shroomery is the most up to date information, peer tested and what not. But to be honest I cant think of anything outdated in GGMM, all of the techniques are still used and practiced today both commercially and for hobby.

Id pay money for "The Shroomery's guide to growing mushrooms". There should a Tek section. Posts get knocked down over time, and become unseen, forgotten, information lost.
Should have a registration form, proof of work, then the Tek gets posted. New and old readers can enter this section and read about the tek.
Discussions can be made elsewhere I suppose.

Yeah this is more for my wife who refuses to sit in front of a computer screen to research, she wants a book, which I will just have her read the book I stated.
I know there is a lot of locked topics on here but there is so much lost in these forums

GGMM is probably the most current comprehensive book on cultivation

I like Tradd Cotters book, Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation. Lots of pretty pictures and only 2 years old.

I was eventually going to ask the same question. I first read Tradd Cotter's book and felt like I had already read/seen a lot of that in articles online or on youtube. The Let's Grow Mushrooms series uploaded to youtube really covered a lot a great stuff when I really knew nothing and seeing it done goes a long way. Then I read The Mushroom Cultivator by Stamet and THAT felt out of dated (got it second hand for $4), although I can't imagine the extensive chapter on contamination or troubleshooting is that different. I'm now dabbling in GGMM, but skipping to the parts I want to know.
Something that you're probably not looking for and comes out of left field is Radical Mycology by Peter McCoy, which just hit the market. It's 650 pages and only about 80 pages of that is cultivating, but rather than providing a straight forward system, he gives like 4-5 ways to do/think about each thing. He even references teks on this site and gives credit to the forum. The other 550 pages covers things that are perhaps not considered direct practices, but, as a self-declare, self-taught "myco-anthropoliogist" (or something like that), he's really trying to get people to see fungi in a new way, both for environmental and political (and perhaps existential) reasons. It's also got over 100 pages of Appendices that's make your head spin, with amazing tables on 108 commonly cultivate species, equipment list, even explaining Latin. Anyway, he's got lots of good tutorials and lectures on youtube too, and if you're into podcasts, search his name in your postcast app cause he's done some great interviews (like with Unlearn and Rewild or Permaculture Voice, ATTM radio, and others).

My trade list Looking for strong terrestrial fruiters for an outdoor beds experiment: Agaricus Bitorquis, Agaricus Augustus, Agaricus blazei/subrufescens, Stropharia Rugoso-annulata, Clitocybe Nuda (blewits), and any species or other genus that you think work outdoors. Also, any commercially viable Pleurotus, cold or hot strains. Thanks for the Q&A, trades, and all the posters & teachers that have come before us

Drake, you and i need to write books, i might need another year or two but i think we should get started soon Make it more based on starting up a business and the teks and facility designs to grow the money makers. Sort of like Curtis Stones The Urban Farmer, more based on a system that works then just general facts about growing things. Until then, OP take a look at my YouTube (link below) while it doesn't hit all the points it give you a good insight onto a fairly modern medium sized operation.

Drake is a full scale mushie farmer, im more of a hobby/side business and i just started a 500 sq ft veggie farm. I love gardening and i figured im already distributing to chefs who use product i can grow and sell. Im using Curtis Stones Teks and strategies on my 1/3 acre yard, follow me on youtube for my most recent updates, so far its baby stages on the veggies but growing. On another note im teamed up with a farmer and microgreen grower now and we are alternating distribution of our products making a small produce network, working really well so far. Completely OT, ill make another thread or video with more details on it, especially after a few weeks so i can report on how it works.

I recently attended Paul Stamets cultivation seminar at Fungi Perfecti. There is nothing "out of date" in his book (in my opinion.) These are the same techniques they use at Fungi Perfecti. What practices exactly where you considering 'out of date'?
Of course there are other ways to do things. I think Growing Gourmet & Medicinal Mushrooms is geared more toward someone considering commercial production.
I like Trad Cotter's book. His book is geared more toward low-cost/low tech growing.
