Awesome video John. I just bought several bunches of mushrooms @ the store for salads etc. Wondering if I have enogh space to grow all the mushrooms I love
I can definitely testify from real personal experience that eating”shrooms” picked in the park in northern Seattle will lead to 2 hours of in depth conversation on the intricacy and world importance of sidewalk cracks.
These kits are sterile, and them preimpregnated with the correct type of mushrooms as specified, so it should be safe, unless of course, you have mushrooms growing in your house..
I use a lot of mushrooms for my cooking, and I’ve considered creating mushroom farms for some time. It actually occurred to me after playing a pc game called “Terraria” where you need to harvest mushrooms for use in alchemy, and so you’d designate an area to grow them efficiently and I thought: I should do that in real life.
It’s nice to see you present this branch of homegrowing produce. It’s an obscure farming crop, and it’s good to see it get some coverage.
It’s really easy and lots of fun to grow mushrooms in the kitchen! Kits are great, but making your own “kits” is really easy too (I have a vid on my channel for anyone curious and there’s lots of other great ones on YT too). Growing oyster mushrooms is even easier than growing most plants!
You can grow mushrooms in your garden underneath your taller vegetables. Morels and Portabella mushrooms grow in a medium like soil and are supposed to do well in garden soils. The mushroom is just the flowering edible portion of the fungus. The rest is underground creating a healthier stronger soil and stronger roots creating a mycorrhizae kind of relationship between soil, fungus, and the roots of your plants. (The left over remains of the kits make great compost.)
@giddymoon You can add hardwood chips and coffee grounds to extend the kits. Some grow up to 4 lbs of mushrooms depending on what kind of mushroom and medium is used. The The spent remains can be added to your compost.
I’m going to order it today.

Just because it’s psychedelic or psychotropic doesn’t mean it’s not edible
Great informational video John. Yet another gift I will buy myself for my birthday coming up.
Shrooms! Groovy!

These kits only grow about a pound of mushrooms and then they are not good anymore…

Fungi Perfecti is a good place to find a large variety of mushrooms.
