Mushrooms are having a moment: from the boom in growing edible mushrooms in kitchens to the fascinating impact fungi have on our environment. 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 and drying your produce. Project Mushroom takes out the technical jargon, answers all your burning questions and makes mushroom cultivation simple, fun and much less scary.
 
Created in collaboration with world-renowned Kew Gardens and with an extensive introduction and a directory of mushrooms at the end, this book will become the new must-have for the modern mushroom lover.
