About the cookbook:
The Fantastic Fungi Community Cookbook features over 100 mushroom-centric recipes -- from appetizers and mains to desserts and drinks! These are the kinds of recipes you will actually cook for dinner: tried-and-true, family recipes representing cultures from all over the world. The cookbook also features five thoughtful and engaging essays written by Eugenia that explore a wide range of topics, including mushroom cultivation and foraging.
About the grow kits:
Our Spray & Grow kits are known for being both beginner friendly and for fruiting large flushes of beautiful mushrooms! Kits arrive fully colonized, and with proper care, should be ready to harvest in about 2 weeks once activated. (Each kit includes a small water spraying bottle and instruction booklet to make it even easier to get started.)

If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.
Mushrooms grow spores as they develop. This is a natural means of reproduction. This is when people with allergies or compromised immune systems may want to consider putting fruiting mushroom kits outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Spores in mushrooms sometimes cause respiratory irritation. In rare cases, spores may also cause irritation for some non-allergic or non-immunocompromised mushroom growers. If you are one of them, it is recommended to reduce the overall spore load by harvesting mushrooms while they are still in their younger growth stages.
