I read somewhere that tonogodhime is an old Japanese mushroom-growing tradition. The name sounds Japanese so I assumed it was a historical method. Anyone know more about the origin?

The name definitely sounds Japanese, but from what I’ve seen it’s used more as a modern, practical description of a stacking approach (alternating 2×2 layers, self-supporting) than a documented historical technique.\n

Appreciate the clarification. I didn’t want to repeat a myth. Either way the method seems solid.
