Yes, tomatoes can grow in mushroom compost. Mushroom compost gathers together ammonium nitrate, chicken manure, corncobs, cottonseed and soybean meal, gypsum, hay, lime, peat moss, potash, spent brewer's grain, and straw. It improves a soil's water-holdling capacity, increases alkalinity in overly acidic soils, injects calcium and magnesium into the ground, promotes appropriately slow but steady growth in seedlings, and treats blossom-end rot on tomato plants.

Mushroom compost is a totally organic rich, dark, moist mixture of wheat straw, peat moss, cottonseed meal, gypsum, lime, and chicken litter. This combination of ingredients is used in commercial mushroom farms to grow mushrooms. These materials are composted for many weeks and then placed into a huge room where it is completely sterilized and then the mushroom growing cycle begins.
