  Is it better for Oyster mushrooms to grow in soil or in woods? what's the difference?

  Answer

  Dear ayshiree9, oyster mushrooms (genus Pleurotus) are species that grow on dead or dying trees (or least trees that have some dead portions). They derive their food from rotting wood. They are not species that live on the surface of the soil. Best wishes.
