Is It Possible To Grow Mushrooms?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes mushrooms can easily be grown; kits are available from garden centres and sometimes even in larger supermarkets.  The kits contain mushroom spawn, a  course straw like compost and also a bag of casing, which is a mixture of peat and chalk or chalk and lime.
    You mix the spawn with the compost and then put it in a container where the temperature will be roughly 65 degreees.  After about two weeks, little threads should start to appear on the surface of the compost.  At this stage you add the casing  Then you water it and wait for another three weeks or so by which time you should start to see tiny mushrooms on the top of the casing.  
    About three or four days later you should then see mushrooms which are ready to be picked and they will continue in 'flushes' until 6-8 weeks later.  The whole process is quite easy, although the key is to ensure the compost and casing is kept well watered.
