how to grow mushrooms

When I told my best friend that I wanted to learn how to grow mushrooms (the edible kind), she said, “Why the heck would you want to grow fungus in your house?”  I wasn’t surprised at her reaction, though.  After all, she HATES mushrooms.  She can’t stand the fact that people actually like to eat fungus.  Never mind what she thinks, though.  I think it would be cool to grow my own mushrooms.  I know I can do it.  I like to garden and I am proud to grow my own vegetables.  I have friends that are into gardening.  My husband has a green thumb.  I know I can do it, but I’m just not sure how.  I’ve started to research it on the internet, and it does sound a little tricky.  So, I’ve decided to share my mushroom growing journey (along with tips and tricks that I’ve discovered along the way) in this blog.  If you want to learn how to grow mushrooms, you can learn with me and share your secrets here.
