Everything you need to know to start growing mushrooms at home!

Looking for something quick and easy to grow, that doesn't take up much space, and offers numerous health benefits? Then mushrooms are the perfect choice! Growing Mushrooms at Home will take you through all the basics, from key equipment and step-by-step growing guides all the way to how to turn your harvest into teas, coffees and tinctures. These guides can be used for many varieties - including shiitake, lion's mane, wine cap and oyster - and multiple different growing situations, from buckets and bags to outdoor beds and logs.

As well as revealing the essential growing know-how, the book explores our long and complex human history with mushrooms and the fascinating ways fungi continues to shape our world. From ancient Aztec rituals and underground tree communication networks to ground-breaking new medicines and organic pesticides, Growing Mushrooms at Home uncovers the weird and wonderful world of mushrooms, and everything they have to offer.

About the Author

Elliot Webb grew up on a farm in South Wales and spent most of his childhood outdoors, exploring the woodland and fields and becoming passionate about foraging and fungi. He earned a BSc in fishery management and aquaculture from Portsmouth University in 2012. From there, he went on to manage one of the most reputable fish farms in Scotland before travelling the world, honing his trade and forming the concept of Urban Farm-It.

Urban Farm-It aims to encourage and inspire a positive shift in our culture around sustainable food production and consumption. They introduce people to the world of urban farming through accessible education and top quality resources, including best-selling mushroom growing kits.
