Key Facts When Looking To Buy Mushroom Growing Kits

By Marissa Velazquez


Anyone looking to buy mushroom growing kits will be aware of what terrific projects they make. Saving money, learning, having fun, and creating a supply of delicious food makes them an attractive prospect for keen cooks and horticulturists everywhere. Here is a brief overview of what to expect when embarking upon this uniquely satisfying pastime.

Kits are suitable for both beginners and seasoned growers alike. They make the whole process very easy, and the reduced effort needed to produce fungi in this way easily compensates for the initial cost. Also, you can grow virtually any kind of fungi you desire. You are not limited to the varieties you can find in your local supermarket. In addition, by growing your own fungi you eliminate the risk of harvesting poisonous varieties from the wild.

There are a terrific variety of fungi you can grow at home, including shitake, maitake, crimini, portabello, oyster, enoki and plain button variety. Although the principles of fungi cultivation are universal, be aware that each variety will have its own growing requirements. Some do best on compost, while others do best on wood or other products.

There are a huge variety of kits available, although some are obviously better than others. It's best to buy from a well-regarded supplier as some kits can be poor quality. Most home and garden stores stock these products, and they are also available online. If you prefer organic, these are available too.

A product will basically consist of fungi mycelium and substratum for growing them on. The substratum can be wood, wood-chip, sawdust, straw or a number of other materials. They should be sterilised and ready for cultivation once prepared.

In general, the substratum will need to be prepped by cooling it. This mimics the effect of fall temperatures and spurs the fungi mycelium into action. Each kit should provide adequate instructions on how to properly prep the substratum for optimum results.

It is best to place your fungi in a dark, cool, moist environment for growing. A basement is often a good place, or under a sink. A good idea is to check the temperature of your intended growing space to ensure it is in the ideal range. Most fungi do best in a temperature of between fifty-five and sixty degrees Fahrenheit. They should be kept away from drafts, heat and anything else that may dry them out.

One in place, all that is needed is for the substratum to be spritzed with water every day to keep it damp. In a few short weeks, your fungi should be fully grown and ready to harvest. If you're in the market to buy mushroom growing kits then you know what a great introduction they make to this fascinating hobby. They're a perfect way to have fun and provide a supply of delicious, succulent fungi for months on end.
