A Mushroom Growing Kit arrived on my desk a couple of weeks ago, with a little note from Sylvia to give it a whirl. I was full of excited expectation as I have very clear memories of having a similar kit as a child.
My mum helped me to set it up and then each day I would check it to see if the mushrooms had started to grow. After a week or so little white specks began to appear on the soil and I still remember my complete amazement as these perfectly white wonders seemed to literally grow before my very eyes. …And once they started there was no stopping them – a fantastic childhood memory!
So equiped with my kit I set off home and over the last week or so the children and I have had a fun new indoor growing project to do. We’ve been taking photos along the way and the results look like they are going to be every bit as good as I’d hoped. Check back next week for the full story with pictures, and some tasty mushroom recipe ideas.
In the meantime check out the Mushroom Growing Kits we have available to buy. We have sourced these kits very carefully for freshness and for the high quality of the growing medium and the spores. They are excellent quality and by following the simple instructions you will get some great results. ….And unlike in my childhood there are White Shiitake or Brown Button Mushrooms to choose from!
