Mushroom Growing Kits

Mushroom grow kits represent the best way to get started in this very addictive, fun hobby!
Without a doubt the easiest way to begin growing your own mushrooms from home is by using a ready prepared grow kit.

There are a few commercial grow kits available to purchase online and from garden centres, and they are typically centered around a few choice edible species of mushroom:

Oyster mushrooms **** easiest
Shiitake mushrooms ***
Lions mane mushrooms ***
Button mushrooms * hardest

Out of the above list the easiest mushrooms to grow for a beginner would be the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) and this should be considered the fail-safe option if you’re nervous about trying out a grow kit and not succeeding.

From personal experience there’s nothing worse than buying a kit, excited at the prospect of your own home grown mushrooms, for absolutely nothing to happen for weeks and weeks.

That’s what happened when I got hold of my first ever mushroom grow kit - a set that promised to produce button mushrooms, purchased from my local Garden Centre.

This one was a compost based kit, and it’s this type which I’ve struggled with on a few occasions. Those are normally aimed at the growing of field and button type mushrooms.

On the one occasion I did have luck, I spent about £15 of my hard-earned pocket money on a kit and ended up with about 3 or 4 button mushrooms having waited about 2 hungry months for something to happen.

Oyster mushrooms on the other hand are incredibly easy to grow - they’re not too fussy, are very aggressive at consuming substrates, and so they’re super-quick to grow given the right conditions to do so.

If you’re new to growing mushrooms and want a kit which is guaranteed to work then go for an oyster grow kit.

In truth most kits, if the spawn has been well prepared and all conditions are good (humidity, air flow, temperature, light) then you shouldn’t struggle to grow from a kit, but based on my own bad experience I’d avoid the compost based kits.
