Besides tasting delicious, mushrooms provide health benefits, and they can even devour plastic waste and possibly pests \u2013 I have a student doing a project on mushrooms as a pesticide. By growing your own mushrooms, you don\u2019t have to worry about getting viruses from people touching them at the grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>I used a kit from Far West Fungi to get started because it was so easy to do. They provide the substrate and the spores so all I had to do was open the bag, put in a few slits in the plastic bag, and watch them grow! This substrate will produce 4 batches of shiitake mushrooms over the next few months. I\u2019m planning on growing mushrooms using spores put into tree branches next. Stay tuned for my next mushroom adventure!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7871\" src=\"https:\/\/meritworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-01-20-Shiitake-Mushroom-Day-1-302.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"364\" height=\"273\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7872\" src=\"https:\/\/meritworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-01-24-Shiitake-Mushroom-Day-4-301.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"363\" height=\"272\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7873\" src=\"https:\/\/meritworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-01-25-Shiitake-Mushroom-Day-5-301.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"356\" height=\"326\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7874\" src=\"https:\/\/meritworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-01-26-Shiitake-Mushroom-Day-6-302.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/meritworld.com\/gakkomom\/benefits-of-growing-your-own-mushrooms\/\">Benefits of growing your own mushrooms<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/meritworld.com\">Merit Educational Consultants<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just harvested my first crop of shiitake mushrooms!
