7 Edible Homegrown Mushrooms

7 Edible Homegrown Mushrooms

Last year I grew mushrooms for the first time.  It was so enjoyable that we decided to grow mushrooms inside during the winter.  I had no idea that there are so many different mushroom varieties!  

I wanted to showcase 7 varieties that I grew this year:

Snow Oyster

Pink Oyster

Morel (wild, grown outside)

Golden Oyster

Lion's Mane

Italian Oyster

Blue Oyster

(If you want to grow your own mushrooms click HERE for mushroom supplies )

SNOW OYSTER MUSHROOMS

This variety prefers a cooler environment and they are very prolific.

PINK OYSTER MUSHROOMS

A much warmer climate is necessary for this variety to fully grow to an edible size.  These mushrooms keep "flushing" over and over again (A "flush" is a new crop).

MOREL MUSHROOMS

These mushrooms grow wild outside usually in early May.

GOLDEN OYSTER MUSHROOMS

Another variety that prefers warm temperatures.

LION'S MANE MUSHROOMS

This mushroom is probably the most important of all 7 varieties detailed today because it is medicinal as well as culinary.

ITALIAN OYSTER MUSHROOMS

This variety is the largest of the oyster mushrooms that I grew.

BLUE OYSTER MUSHROOMS

These mushrooms are the easiest to grow and they are also the most meaty of these 7 varieties.

ENJOY!
