I live just a few miles from a mushroom growing place and have known the person that handles the drying and packing personally for a very long time. I will have to ask about getting some of the leftovers from the growing cycle. I'm fairly certain they just throw the stuff away.

EDIT: I've been doing some reading on Msuhroom compost and it seems that most places would sterilze the growing medium after it's been used for the growing cycle. I don't think this operation does that. If they don't, would there be any harm to my garden if it were added?
