You buy it from a Mushroom Farm...It is the finely composted after material which is left over, after the mushrooms are harvested.

i have used mushroom dirt before not for pumpkins but i have used it taround flowers the flowers were ok but mushrooms grew also so it was a pain pickin shrooms every couple of days. but it could have been the stuff i was using. Somebody here can probably give you better advice this was just my expierience.

Can that stuff be recommended?

I have it available in vast amounts for free from a mushroom farm nearby. But I've heard it is high in salts and will screw up the salt levels in our soil, correct?

Are any of these websites useful? I had once bookmarked a website developed by a guy who was farming mushrooms on logs. But that was a cuple browsers ago & I can't find it right now.

Mushroom manure/dirt is simply horse manure, mixed with straw, gypsum, peat moss, lime and grows mushrooms once in a commercial operation and is then further composted and sold to us.

It had better be ok. A few hours ago, I just dumped 14 yards of the stuff in a 3000 square foot patch.

I use it, just go light about two inches sread out evenly. You don't need much more than that. If you put to much on it stunts the plant bin there done that.
