A comprehensive and beginner-friendly guide to growing mushrooms in the home and garden, from the UK's leading seller of mushroom growing kits.

Mushrooms are easy and fast to grow, highly productive, utilize waste products, have numerous health benefits and take up little space. Plus by growing your own you can have many more varieties than supermarkets can offer.

This book is packed with everything you need to know in an easily digestible format. The book begins with an introduction - what is a mushroom, what is their history, how can they help us - before detailing how to grow them at home, including guides for all varieties and growing methods, plus troubleshooting problems and how to harvest. The book then covers what to do with your harvest - storage, turning them into health supplements, and which variety works best for each use. A final section looks at the future of fungi, and the ground-breaking research into using mushrooms for health, construction, protecting the environment and psychedelics.
