Although growing mushrooms is unlike gardening other vegetables, you can still grow mushrooms organically in your home the main keys to growing mushrooms at home are establishing the right growing conditions and acquiring or making mushroom spawn using good quality mushroom logs. Mushrooms can tolerate some light, but the spot you choose should stay relatively dark or in low light. I have been running my mushroom business since 2015 after buying logs from Agrinoon(Fujian). I grow mushrooms like Shiitake, Oyster, and Morels.
I’ve always enjoyed mushrooms for their taste, but learning about their health benefits—like boosting immunity, improving gut health , and even fighting inflammation—makes me appreciate them even more. It’s incredible how versatile and powerful these little fungi are!
