Scientists found a new way to supercharge milky mushroom (Calocybe indica) yields using a special soil mix. By combining colonized mushroom bits, manganese sulfate, fermented coconut fiber, and regular soil, they boosted harvests by 38% compared to standard methods. This low-tech trick could help farmers grow more of these tasty, heat-loving mushrooms without pricey equipment.
