Have you ever wondered, what are the easiest mushrooms to grow at home?
Like so many people becoming more interested in mycology and self-reliance, I sat down with my best friend and co-founder, Brian Davis, to learn both beginner and expert methods for growing mushrooms right in your own home.
After of only a few minutes into our conversation, I realized that dialing in your own method and cultivating mushrooms for personal use is so much easier than I thought. What's more, Brian explains the various levels of entry into the world of mushroom growing.
For those with little time or knowledge of mushrooms, purchasing a pre-made mushroom grow kit might be the most fun and beginner friendly option to enjoy cultivated mushrooms.
For those looking for a more scientific approach, Brian explains how to grow oyster mushrooms at home from a starter culture. From the culture, you can inoculate a mushroom spawn for the mycelium to become activated and later expand them to a substrate. From there, you are only one step away from harvesting mushroom fruiting bodies and cooking them up in your favorite dish!
