Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

Hi all, I can get my hands on mushroom compost quite readily and was wondering what the pro's and con's were from experience using it?

Prob. great for long term soil structure.
Risky if it hasn't been sterilized/steamed.
I've been told its quite low in nutrients cause the mushrooms are heavy feeders.

Cojoe and LB: After doing some research, I came to the conclusion there are better types of compost for the money.

This is NOT a criticism of those who use it. Just my personal choice.
