This DIY Grow Your Own Mushroom Log from California-based Mountain Feed and Farm Supply is an experimental method for growing your own crop at home. The mushrooms will emerge after the inoculation period has been completed, which in this case is 6-12 months.
An unconventional hostess gift or a great present for a curious child, the DIY Grow Your Own Mushroom Log is available in both Shitake and Oyster Mushroom varieties, with one of each available in a two-pack from culinary web store Food52.
As consumers continue to grow more concerned about what kind of toxins their produce is exposed to during growing and after cultivation, many are beginning to grow their own herbs, spices and produce at home in order to better control such variables and put their minds at ease.
