Growing Mushrooms at Home

Since spring has arrived, many of us who love to grow our own garden are getting ready to plant. There is nothing more rewarding then growing your own produce and using the fresh veggies in our favorite recipes. But, many of us do not know that you can also grow mushrooms in your own home. Oakhill Mushrooms carries a variety of mushroom grow kits.

Home gardeners love the idea of growing their own mushrooms at home, but are not sure how it works or think that it is too complicated. Growing mushrooms is actually quite simple. All one needs to grow delicious and fresh mushrooms is mushroom kits. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions to start growing mushrooms yourself. The grow kit comes with a block made of enriched sawdust and wood chips that contains the mushroom spores, a hydration tent and instructions. Just soak the block in water for a few hours and place the block in the hydration tent out of direct sunlight. In a few days the mushrooms will start to emerge about the size of a pinhead. In about a week the mushrooms will grow to maturity and will be ready to harvest to use in your favorite recipes.

Those who enjoy growing and preparing their own vegetables to serve to dinner guests will love serving them fresh mushrooms that they grew themselves. Just imagine how impressed your dinner guests will be when you tell them that you grew the mushrooms from a kit. This usually results in guests wanting to know how they can start growing mushrooms in their own home.

Not only is this very rewarding for home cooks to grow their own mushrooms it can also be fun and educational for children. Unlike growing other types of vegetables and flowers that can take weeks to see results, mushroom growing kits start to grow in a few days and by the end of a week. Children can then see the mushroom growing progress quickly and then be able to harvest them in short amount of time.

Mushroom kits are a wonderful way to grow mushrooms at home. This is not only a fun hobby, it is tasty too. Mushroom kits also make great gifts for gardeners and cooks alike.
