Project Mushroom offers over 30 simple projects that will inspire you to grow mushrooms at home. Learn the basic growing techniques; discover how to ‘garden’ with mushrooms; experiment with unique and beautiful mushroom displays; and prepare mushrooms for the pantry.
Including everything you need to know to get started, as well as a directory of popular mushrooms for cultivating indoors and out, this book will inspire you to get growing.
Inside your kit: 30 inoculated timber dowels inside a sterilized plastic grow bag with filter patch, either soy or beeswax, sponge applicator, full set of growing instructions, postage box and branded sleeve. For advice on the right type of wood.
Using the dowel method, we deliberately introduce our mushroom mycelium into the body of freshly felled timber, making sure it stands the best chance of success.
You should expect to see your first mushrooms from 9 months to 1.5 years after your logs have been inoculated. Once fruiting, you could be harvesting fresh mushrooms for approximately 5 years.
Don’t forget, mushroom logs like to be kept moist and will need watering along with the rest of your plants throughout the year and especially throughout any dry spells. Keep your log protected from harsh winds and out of direct sunlight.
