Human cremation ashes in substrate? (ashrooms)

Fried of mine died two years ago, his only relative was his brother. Brother had his ashes divided by the funeral home 3 ways with himself, me, and another good friend.
I've been wanting to spread the ashes, but haven't found the right place / time.
What if I mixed a little bit with substrate and grew them into shrooms? I wouldn't share the shrooms with people who didn't know him, and not without telling anyone, would probably just be for me. The brother might not dig it, but the dead friend would absolutely think it's hilarious and righteous.
If it were some other friend of ours, he'd have been first in line to eat those shrooms. And he'd know that deep down, it's respectful.
I assume I'd have to adjust the pH, right? I think ashes are alkaline, so maybe add the same weight in lemon pulp to make neutral lemon tek / dead friend shrooms?
Please don't be mean, I'm serious about this and it feels right. I just need advice on the gardening tek of it.
Thank you. =-=- Edited subject to add "ashrooms", it seems to work.

Do you live in a place where you could grow wood lovers? Could potentially use ash in sawdust or woodchips, colonize, and spread it around a mulched garden .

Ah, I didn't think of that.
And good to hear someone else has done it. I already see a "what the fuck comment." lol.
It just doesn't sound odd to me. Hell, Catholics eat their god every week, and they literally believe it's really his flesh.
Did it affect the mycelium production? Did you have to adjust the PH of the jars? How much did you use?
thank you so much!

Excellent.
Also: Ashrooms.
Tell your loved ones. Not sure I'd put it in a will, but could unofficially be your wishes.

I saw a post about that on here. That's what gave me the idea.
That seems like a lot of work and money, plus too public for this.
Spreading ashes with some colonized substrate might work. Maybe I'll do that with a little of the ashes too. My dead friend loved psychedelics.

Thank you.
Spread it. It's good.
I still don't know if it would wreck the pH.
I also like the idea of burying a grow after first flush with some ashes out in the woods, too.

How High was the movie
Im not gonna lie. This got my attention. I have my Dads ashes in my bureau. To make some fire bangers using that as an additive sounds beyond epic. I’ve always wanted to talk to him. Never got to say goodbye. What a cool idea.

That makes me smile.
Make it happen: Let a hip loved one know and teach them the tek if they don't know. Then put it in your will that they get some ashes.

Very cool.
I'm still worried about the pH being too off from ashes.
Here's an article that says cremains are bad for plants. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/cremation-ashes-and-plants.htm
No mention of shrooms. lol. Says alkaline and lots of salt. I think if you didn't use much, and maybe mixed with lemon water to neutralize the pH. You could check the pH with a meter (strips wouldn't work because the ash would change the color).
There are pH meters on Amazon.
