Mushroomery

Learn how to grow, cultivate and cook incredible mushrooms at home

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 Mushroomery is 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.

There is also information on fungi and its classification, the study of mycology, the life cycle of a mushroom and foraging. A handy glossary helps the reader navigate the world of mycology terms, as well as guidance on equipment and where to purchase it, ingredients - spores etc. – and sterilization.
