'Magical' Mushroom Compost!

::ATTENTION GARDENERS::

Cascadia Mushrooms currently has "no-spray", "vegan", "as-close-to-organic-as-it-gets" mushroom compost available for sale to you!

Our manure-free spent substrate is carefully composted to produce a fertile humus-like soil great for your garden or landscaping. The organic material we use to grow mushrooms and a vigorous succession of mycelia have worked in concert to produce a soil much like what forms during natural vegetative decay in a forest. The Magic can be used in many ways:

• Amend poor or depleted soil in your rows or raised beds
• Lighten & enrich heavy soils by tilling in our compost
• Create a fantastic vegetable garden with a mix of our compost and native soil
• Fertilize raspberries, blueberries, and other fruit crops
• Top-dress perennial shrubs and trees for a slow nutrient release

Supplies are limited so please phone ahead for an appointment,

(360) 714-8859 Mon-Fri. $30 per cubic yard, we load, you haul.
