Want to learn how to grow your own mushrooms?

This practical guide takes you step by step through the process of growing mushrooms at home. Accessible, eco-friendly, and inexpensive, mushroom cultivation requires little space, water, or equipment. It can be done in the garden, in a basement, on a balcony, or even indoors, depending on the species and techniques you choose.

In *Growing Your Own Mushrooms: In Trays, Buckets, and on Logs*, Florent Dierckx and Frédéric Rossignol present three simple methods to get started:

Raised-bed gardening is ideal for growing mushrooms in the garden.
Growing plants in buckets: practical, economical, and ideal for small spaces.
Log cultivation: a sustainable method for growing crops on wood for several years.

The book also covers the key stages of cultivation, selecting species, harvest, storage, and mycelium production, and includes several plant-based recipes for cooking the harvested mushrooms.
