Our love for mushrooms began a long time ago. From mushrooms in the markets throughout Europe to walking through mushroom forests.
Talks with Ted "Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world" is a great video about the many benefits of fungi.
Then there was New Zealand, and mushroom foraging. However, you really need to know your mushrooms, but they are beautiful.
And now we have just begun a new experiment, growing our own mushrooms! They are the tastiest and the most fresh. In growing them we try and create an atmosphere that they naturally grow in, a forest. When we water, we actually mist them. These ones have been growing for 4.5 weeks and should produce for another 5-6. It takes about 4 weeks from sporing to growing a button. Each bucket will produce around 1-2 kilos of mushrooms. Our first 2 mushrooms together weighed 190 grams.
