Grow Your Own Gourmet Mushrooms

What better way to get the freshest mushrooms available than growing your own

By Christina Symons /

Grow your own gourmet mushrooms in 10-14 days

If you love the taste of gourmet mushrooms but balk at the price, or simply would like to try to grow your own at home, consider a mushroom kit

Available at Whole Foods, the Grow Your Own Mushroom Garden is a fun way to satisfy your mushroom habit.

It’s super easy and fast too! The kit comes in a cardboard milk-sized container packed with recycled coffee grounds to use as soil and mushroom spawn to spark your crop.

All you have to do is open a panel, place in a cool dark spot and mist regularly. In 10 to 14 days, you’ll harvest your first set of mushrooms.

Then you can flip the garden over and do it all again.
