How To Grow Your Own Mushrooms

I am not a ‘know it all gardener’.

In fact, I call myself more of a potterer in the garden and a flower admirer - I love the idea of a huge, fantastic open garden but in reality, I just don’t have the time to maintain it. My Mum and Dads home, on the other hand, is just that - a vast, gorgeous garden with vegetable patches, rose gardens and ponds set amongst bushland that is just perfect. My gardening dreams live vicariously through them!

Where to grow…

Mushrooms love the dark, and they like damp cool spaces with a bit of humidity. They like to be away from draughts and direct heat.
If you grow them yourself at least you know they won’t be poisonous.
Different mushrooms grow in different soils - some compost, some straw and some wood.
If a little doubtful, you can buy a mushroom kit and start from there. This sounds perfect for me!
Intakes 3-4 weeks for mushrooms to grow in their perfect environment and apparently their flavours are amazing.

Last time I was walking the property I noticed a lot of different mushrooms growing. This got me thinking about how I could grow mushrooms which lead me to a little online researching. My idea of growing a few mushrooms in a rustic crate was shown down after I read about the conditions and effort that goes into producing them, but it did not dampen my enthusiasm one little bit.

Ever thought about growing your own mushrooms?
