Growing mushrooms at home is simple and satisfying - it requires minimal space, no extensive gardening experience, and can produce results in 5-6 weeks. It's easy to buy a ready-made kit, but you can also grow mushrooms from spores in a bucket or plastic tub, or on logs outside. You can even cultivate mushrooms from store-bought caps. Depending on the variety, you can yield multiple harvests throughout the year.
The Mushroomery is an ode to the joys of growing fungi. It features at-home projects for growing and cultivating different varieties of mushrooms. Each project has an introduction, step-by-step instructions, accompanied by photography, and lots of tips, tricks and troubleshooting. The second half of the book features 20+ mushroom-forward dishes including recipes for pickling and drying mushrooms for preservation and to enhance their flavor.
The projects for growing mushrooms include the following:
-Mushroom kits
-Bucket mushrooms
-Jar mushrooms
-Log mushrooms
-Mushrooms grown in a bag
There is also information on fungi and its classification, the study of mycology, the life cycle of a mushroom and foraging. A handy glossary helps the reader navigate the world of mycology terms, as well as guidance on equipment and where to purchase it, ingredients - spores etc. - and sterilization.
Written by Buttons, a mushroom expert and owner of the Mushroomery, an urban mushroom company in Melbourne, Australia, that supplies fungi to the city's best restaurants, The Mushroomery will show you how to grow beautiful displays of mushrooms that not only look stunning but taste amazing.
About the Author
Buttons Mira is a mushroom farmer living and working in Melbourne, Australia. She runs The Mushroomery, a small urban mushroom farm that supplies the finest quality produce and preserves to some of the city's best restaurants and farmers' markets.
The Mushroomery was born eight years ago, when Buttons was seeking a lifestyle change after several years working in fashion and late-night hospitality. What initially began as small-scale Oyster mushroom experiments down the side of her rental property in Brunswick, soon evolved into a well-respected micro-farm that supplies the local community.
With a strong commitment to the ethics of permaculture, Buttons is on a mission to reduce waste and establish closed-loop agricultural cycles, as well as connecting urban communities with where their food comes from and how it is grown.
The Mushroomery is Buttons' first book.
