Description

Whether you are growing your first mushrooms on the kitchen countertop or seeking to provide a sizeable quantity of home-grown produce for family and friends, growing mushrooms on straw in one of the best places to start. This method of mushroom growing is easy and fast, and leads to high rates of success. Straw cultivation does not require any special equipment to begin, and usually yields first flushes of mushrooms in only 1 or 2 months!

After 7 years teaching within his local community about the wonders of mushrooms, Zach Hedstrom, founder and owner of Boulder Mushroom, decided it was time to fill the needed role of a professional quality mycology center. Boulder Mushroom has dedicated its mission to the development of prolific mushroom strains which are adapted to locally available substrate materials, while also cultivating the highest quality culinary and medicinal mushrooms for our growing community.
