Easy Grow Home Mushroom Kits Review and Giveaway!

http://www.easygrowmushrooms.com/This winter has seemed to go on and on.  I am just longing to get outside and plant something!  Growing anything indoors is a good alternative to keep my gardening obsession in check.  So when Easy Grow Mushrooms and Composting offered to let me review their Shiitake Mushroom Kit I was thrilled!  Not only would I be growing food indoors, but I worked this into a great science home school project for my children.

What are Easy Grow Mushroom Kits?  Well these are kits that are pre seeded with edible culinary mushroom spoors and shipped direct to you.  You follow the easy instructions and within a few weeks you will have delicious, fresh mushrooms!  Easy Grow Mushrooms and Composting carries several varieties of mushrooms Shiitake, Oyster, Enoki, Reishi and even Morels!

Here is a little info about their products

 

Growing delicious, edible, gourmet mushrooms has, in the past, been a venture that was not well suited for the average home grower. The expensive cost of equipment needed, as well as the extensive knowledge and labor required, made gourmet mushroom growing impractical. Fortunately, those days are in the past. The Easygrow line of mushroom grow kits are inexpensive, prolific, and very easy to use. Someone with little or absolutely no prior experience or skill in mushroom growing can quickly become an expert home cultivator. All the mushrooms that are produced from our kits are edible. They are also mighty delicious!

Many of our mushroom kits not only produce abundant crops of mouthwatering, gourmet mushrooms, but they also have great environmental attributes as well. For example, the Composter mushroom garden, once established, is a great tool for recycling yard debris (especially wood waste such as sticks, twigs and chips). The nutrients and minerals locked up in excess wood waste can efficiently be recycled back to your land and flora. Accordingly, converting wood and other yard debris into delicious, gourmet mushrooms is not only good for your table, it is good for your environment as well.

Whatever your reason for growing mushrooms, be it environmental or culinary (or a little of both!), we are sure you will enjoy using our kits. All of the kits are guaranteed to produce. We are confident that you will enjoy great success growing fantastic, delectable mushrooms!

It was really neat to watch the mushrooms grow.  The children checked them every day.  We studied about the life cycle of fungus and it was a great learning experience.  Here is a poster one of them did.

As to how hard they are to grow?  Pretty much all I did was moisten the kit with water every day and that was it!  The kit is small enough to fit on a kitchen counter and doesn't smell bad as it grows.

When it came time for harvest I was so excited!  I sautéed them with spinach for dinner and oh my goodness they were good!  Much better than store bought with a sweeter nutty flavor.  We are big mushroom lovers here.


These mushroom kits from Easy Grow Mushrooms and Composting  are so fun, affordable, and inexpensive that I would recommend them to anyone.  Do you know a gardener?  This would be a great gift, especially right now when winter seems to never end.  Any mushroom lover or foodie would be thrilled with this.  And as a homeschooler this was a great fun project that helped bring the life cycle of mushrooms to life for my kids.  If you want to try something fun that produces delicious food this is a great idea!
