Project Mushroom: A Modern Guide to Growing Fungi

From the boom in growing edible mushrooms in kitchens to the fascinating impact fungi have on our environment, mushrooms are truly having a moment!

But while cultivating mushrooms ourselves is appealing, it's also quite a daunting prospect. How much equipment do you need? (Not much!) Might they damage the furniture? (Not at all!) Will they take over the garden? (Absolutely not!)

In this book, mushroom experts Lorraine Caley and Jodie Bryan (aka the Caley Bros.) provide around 30 projects so you can get stuck in. From learning the basics ( growing grey oysters using coffee grounds) and making a mushroom bed in your allotment, to growing your own sustainable mushroom packaging, no stone (or fungus!) is left unturned. This clear, stylish book contains detailed reference information while acting as a practical guide to foraging, preparing, cooking and more.

Mushrooms are good for us and for the environment. They're a sustainable food worth investing in, and this fun, fungi guide shows you how to do just that. Created in collaboration with world-renowned Kew Gardens and with an extensive introduction and a directory of mushrooms at the end, this book is a must-have for any modern mushroom lover.
