Mushrooms are a delicious addition to many meals, and they can be grown right in your backyard with the right conditions.
Steps for Growing Mushrooms
- Choose Your Mushroom Type: Start with easy-to-grow varieties like oyster mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms. These types thrive on logs, straw, or wood chips.
- Create the Right Environment: Mushrooms require a moist and dark environment. Consider using a shaded spot in your garden or building a small mushroom hut.
- Inoculation: Inoculate your substrate (logs, straw, etc.) with mushroom spawn. You can purchase spawn or cultivate your own.
- Watering: Mushrooms require high humidity, so mist the area frequently to keep the environment moist.
- Harvesting: Once your mushrooms have fully matured, harvest them by gently twisting them off the substrate.
