Mushrooms

Eating mushrooms gives us lots of health benefits. You can easily grow them at home with a kit and the kids love to see them grow. All you need is a dark cupboard and a spray bottle. The kit includes instructions and the growing media which contains the mushroom spores. Typically you get two or three flushes of mushrooms from one kit. Grow your own yummy mushrooms at home… they are so easy! We currently have these three varieties in stock:

White button
The Mushroom Kit White Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) are the everyday white mushrooms with a delicate flavour and texture.

Portabello/ Swiss Brown
The Mushroom Kit Swiss Brown/ Portabello (Agaricus bisporus) produce a milky brown coloured mushroom with a firmer texture and stronger flavour than the White Button mushrooms.

White/Brown combo
The Mushroom Kit White/Brown Combo (Agaricus bisporus) has a different variety in each half of the box: White Button – regular button mushroom & Portabello (or Swiss Brown) – a milky brown coloured mushroom with a firmer texture and stronger flavour than the White mushrooms.
