How to Grow Mushrooms
08.08.2023 - 08:23 / gardenersworld.com
Mushrooms are an unusual grow-your-own crop that’s increasing in popularity. Mushrooms take more effort than most crops to grow, but mushroom growing kits offer easier growing methods, and give you the opportunity to grow ‘gourmet’ varieties such as oyster and shiitake, as well as the more usual button mushrooms.
Mushrooms can be grown indoors or outdoors in prepared beds or boxes, or on hardwood logs outdoors. Indoor growing in a controlled environment usually gives the best results. Outdoors, weather conditions have a strong influence on the success or failure of mushrooms grown in beds, although log-grown mushrooms tend to be more successful.
In this short video guide, the experts at Caley Brothers share their top tips for growing mushrooms, including how much you should water them.
How to grow mushroomsThere’s a number of ways to grow mushrooms. You can buy mushroom spawn to grow in beds or boxes filled with manure or compost. Alternatively choose a ‘mushroom growing kit’ that usually includes the spawn and growing media (such as wood shavings or straw). If you have access to recently chopped logs, you can buy wooden dowels or plugs that have been impregnated with spawn, which you tap into pre-drilled holes in the log.
Where to grow mushroomsMushrooms are best grown under-cover, where temperature and moisture can be controlled. A shed, garage, garden cold frame or cellar will work well – anywhere out of the sun where it’s possible to give mushrooms their optimum growing temperature of around 15°C (the temperature shouldn’t go below 10°C or above 20°C). Outside, grow mushrooms in beds, on compost heaps, or in logs, again away from sunlight.

Growing Wine Cap Mushrooms: An Easy Beginner’s Guide
Plenty of gardeners will admit that growing wine cap mushrooms was their gateway to an unexpected new obsession with mushroom cultivation. Considering how rewarding growing wine cap mushrooms can be, that’s really no surprise. For me it was a shiitake mushroom kit that piqued my interest in growing other mushrooms, like wine caps. With their bright red mushroom caps and creamy white stems, the mushrooms themselves are visually striking. They’re also among the easiest mushrooms to start in outdoor garden beds, along pathways, on layers of cardboard and straw, and via many other substrates.
