Growing mushrooms - at home, on the balcony, in the cellar and in the garden

Growing mushrooms at home is currently very fashionable, as it allows you to have a wide variety of delicious (oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms, coulemelle), exotic (Nameko, Reishi) and healthy (Judah's ear, Shiitake, etc.) mushrooms all year round. This is the first book on the subject at an affordable price!

Folko Kullmann's book is an extremely well-crafted summary of how to grow mushrooms successfully at home, whether on a small scale (house, terrace, balcony) or on a larger scale (cellar, garden). After reviewing all the basic information you need to get started (equipment required, substrate, basic cultivation advice, preservation methods, etc.), the author presents 17 easy-to-grow mushrooms with, for each, the method of cultivation on a small or large scale, the planting and harvesting schedule and its nutritional and therapeutic qualities. Some original recipes accompany the main species. The 17 mushrooms on offer range from the most classic to the most original, all very much in vogue in contemporary cuisine (Shiitake, Nameko, Enoki, etc.). The book is perfect for beginners, whether in the city or the country, for cultivation or cooking.
