Description

Would you like to discover how to work with mushrooms and fungi? In this book you will learn all about them and the process to grow them at home.

Mushrooms are to mushrooms what fruits are to trees. It is only a small part (although very important) and can be propagated by dispersing the spores stored under the mushroom cap. However, most of the fungi in the "fruit" we eat are hidden in the soil where we stepped on our feet when we walked through the forest.

In the part of the soil that we don't see, the fungi connect the entire forest ecosystem through a complex "social network". This is what scientists call the Wood Wide Web, the Internet in the forest. This network sustains life in the part of the world we see.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi cover the roots and increase the trees' ability to absorb water and nutrients. Thus, they have been instrumental in the vitality and development of the forest.

Here's how to start growing your own mushrooms, at home and with items you own. It can be in pots, old containers and even coffee grounds.

In this book you will learn the importance of mushrooms, which ones you can make and even delicious recipes for you to use at home.
