Mushroom kits have actually had a good amount of bad press in recent times with many critics claiming they provide very poor affordability when comparing the yields of the mushroom kits with the specific price of the mushrooms in the shops. I find this an extremely unfair comparison and believe that it really is wrong to simply compare the two with the quantity of mushrooms that they produce.
You can buy mushroom growing kits for just a few different species of mushroom – you can find button mushroom grow kits and you will get oyster mushroom grow kits. buy dmt cart online of these are the most common and can be purchased at most garden centres and usually on garden centre websites. However you can also grow other varieties from more specialist websites, letting you grow your personal mushrooms like Shiitake, Portobello and much more. These kits usually cost around �5 to �10 and will probably provide you with around �5 worth of mushrooms (if grown in the best possible environment, and depending on the variety as some mushrooms cost more then others in the shops).
I hardly understand why people moan when it costs more to buy a mushroom growing kit then it does to buy the mushrooms themselves. A lot of the supermarket mushrooms are grown massively in bulk and so are usually grown far away and imported across, where it is so much cheaper to allow them to grow them. Then theres the point that in a kit you obtain a box and get the substrate (compost or straw) in addition to a small bag of spawn. When you buy mushrooms from a shop you aren’t left with excellent compost for the garden (mushroom compost is probably the most expensive and nutritious types of compost as the mushrooms break down and recycle many nutrients present in the substrate). And there’s the fact that you are growing mushrooms yourself – surely the excitement and fun factor are worth spending money on too.
In my opinion mushroom growing kits are an excellent way of growing your own mushrooms and also if sometimes they don’t offer amazing value for money when compared to the shop price you will learn so much from carrying it out yourself and can probably take great pride in growing and eating your own mushrooms. Maybe even once you’ve learned a little more about cultivating mushrooms you can cut out the middleman and find your own substrate (straw, newspaper, manure) and buy or make your own mushroom spawn. That’s where you can get real value for money too, growing a huge selection of pounds worth of mushroom from literally a few pounds investm
