Chestnut Mushrooms are some of the most breathtaking and delicious gourmet mushrooms. With our grow-kit you can easily grow this fabulous mushroom at home, results guaranteed! It is a great option for first-time growers or those looking to grow a unique species. While they are less common than Oyster Mushrooms and Lion's Mane, they are no less marvellous!

The flavour of Chestnut Mushrooms is different than most of the other gourmet edibles. It is nutty, sweet, and addictively aromatic. The texture is meaty and the stems provide an enjoyable crunch to many recipes. They are great simply fried up in a pan with garlic and onion, or added to your favorite soup, stew, or sauce!

Chestnut Mushrooms are also a fabulous and healthy addition to your diet. They are rich in minerals, vitamins, and are loaded with protein. Like other mushrooms they are low in fat and carbs, two things most people have too much of in the modern diet. They are also rich in antioxidants.

What’s Inside? - Inside the grow kit is the living, breathing, Chestnut Mushroom mycelium that is feeding on locally sourced hardwood sawdust. This grow kit is delicately prepared using time-tested methods to ensure the mycelium grows strong and happy. We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to!

How Do I Grow It?

• First, open the box and cut an X in the bag as indicated. Keep your grow kit in a safe place out of direct sunlight. Ideal temperatures range from 12°C - 21°C. Mist the cut 1-3 times a day ensuring there is plenty of moisture.

• After some time you will begin to see small dense clumps of mycelium developing at the cut. This is where it gets fun! These little clumps will slowly inflate over 7-14 days into full-sized mushrooms.

• Harvest your Chestnut Mushrooms while the cap is still round and spherical. This is when they have the best flavor and texture. If you wait a little too long, there’s no harm done! The mushrooms are still delicious. If conditions are ripe you can expect 2 or 3 more flushes over the next two months!
