This is a fun and creative way to grow gourmet mushrooms in your own kitchen. I developed these kits as a way for people to learn a little more about growing mushrooms than your standard mushroom kits will teach you, and no special equipment is required. This kit includes a 5mL mushroom culture, instructions, a glossary of mycology terms, and a fungi word search. These can be grown in a bucket of (used) coffee grounds or straw, and there is enough culture included to start up to five buckets. Regardless of your growing medium of choice, these are fascinating to grow and delightful to cook with. Lions mane mushrooms have been getting a ton of attention for recent research on their potential in repairing brain and nerve damage, and they taste almost exactly like crab (try making crab cakes with your harvest!) Working your way through one of our kits will leave you with a foundation to grow your own mushrooms confidently, and inspire you to further explore the world of mycology.
