Edible mushrooms are a healthy and sustainable option for anyone who likes to grow their own food. They range widely in flavor and growing needs, which means, with a little planning, you can be eating mushrooms every month of the year. You don’t need much growing space—or even a garden—as many of them can be container-grown on a balcony, kitchen windowsill or in a cool, dark cellar. If you grow them outdoors, mushrooms thrive in those awkward shady parts of the garden and many can be grown on tree stumps and alongside ornamental plants. Mushroom experts Magdalena Wurth and Herbert Wurth take you through every step of the cultivation process for 19 different mushrooms, helped along by clear tables, drawings, and photographs, and include recipes and preserving methods. For beginners just starting out and growers in search of more advanced techniques, this is the essential reference.
