Mushrooms
Have you ever thought about growing mushrooms at home? Well it’s very easy and lots of fun for both adults and children.
With all of the toadstools and wild mushrooms around at the moment, it’s pretty obvious that now is a good time to grow your own.
Home mushroom kits are available at most nurseries and hardware stores. You can get ordinary mushrooms to grow or you can get various varieties such as shitake, oyster and Swiss Brown.
Excellent instructions come with the kits too. You can grow mushrooms in a garage, under the house or anywhere when the temperatures are fairly constant. Small metal sheds may get too hot or cold for mushrooms.
By the way, mushrooms don’t necessarily need a dark place to grow in.
After setting up the kit, expect to start harvesting in around 3-5 weeks. You can harvest young mushrooms as button mushrooms, or wait ‘til they are bigger to eat them.
Mushrooms really are a lot of fun.
Hooroo, Don
