Fungi are hardy plants, making them a prime candidate for indoor gardening, and Back to the Roots has taken advantage with its Organic Mushroom Farm. The product lets consumers grow edible organic mushrooms virtually anywhere, and it's designed to be easy enough for anyone to use, from experienced gardeners to those who've never picked up a hoe in their lives.
All that's needed to grow mushrooms with the Organic Mushroom Farm is water. By misting some over the open space inside the box, the spores will be able to take advantage of the nutrients pre-embedded into the product. The mushrooms then grow directly from the box — consumers need not even remove the packaging.
The mushrooms grow to maturity is as little as 10 days, and once that first batch has been harvested, consumers can start the process again. The boxes lasts for months at a time.
