The Mushroomery

Growing mushrooms at home is simple and satisfying – it requires minimal space, no extensive gardening experience, and can produce results in 5-6 weeks. It’s easy to buy a ready-made kit, but you can also grow mushrooms from spores in a bucket or plastic tub, or on logs outside. You can even cultivate mushrooms from store-bought caps. Depending on the variety, you can yield multiple harvests throughout the year.

The Mushroomeryis an ode to the joys of growing fungi. It features at-home projects for growing and cultivating different varieties of mushrooms. Each project has an introduction, step-by-step instructions, accompanied by photography, and lots of tips, tricks and troubleshooting. The second half of the book features 20+ mushroom-forward dishes including recipes for pickling and drying mushrooms for preservation and to enhance their flavor.
