Story: Plant Deal of the Week - Mushroom Kits
Episode: 10
Presenter: Bonnie-Marrie Barnsly
Air Date: 20th May 2023

Bonnie gets stuck in to the soil and mycelium world to begin growing her own mushrooms, and shows you how you can do it too.

• Mushroom kits come in three different kinds, depending on the kind of mushroom you want to grow. They’re fun and easy to grow, and these complete kits make it simple.
• The White/Brown combo kid has a different variety in each half of the box: White button mushrooms, common and delicious in any omelette, and Portobello (or Swiss Brown) - a beefier mushroom with a firmer texture, perfect as a side with your steaks.
• If you enjoyed your taste of the portobello, consider getting the whole Swiss Brown/Portebello mushroom growing kits. Not a fan and just want to go back to the simple deliciousness of omelettes and soups? No problem, a solo white kit is also available for purchase.
• All you need to do is place the box in a suitable location (constant 17-20 degrees), empty the included peat moss growing mix onto the mushroom compost, sprinkle water to keep moist and wait for the mushrooms to grow! Complete instructions are included.
• Pick the mushrooms as they develop, and more will emerge in flushes. The more open the cap is, the more intense the flavour will be. It should be 2-3 weeks before your first mushroom, and approximately 2.5-3kg per kit over 6 weeks.
