Need a winter gardening idea? Utah State University Extension recently published a comprehensive guide to help beginners learn to grow gourmet mushrooms. "A Beginner's Guide to Growing Mushrooms at Home" is a how-to introduction to fungi cultivation, providing simple steps and practical advice.
The guide was created by College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences faculty members Paul Grossl, Melanie Stock, and graduate student Jacob Hawkes. "Mushrooms offer a wealth of health benefits, including immune system support, brain health, and protection against some types of cancer," says Grossl.
The guide highlights popular varieties such as white button, cremini, portobello, oyster, shiitake, piopinno, and lion's mane mushrooms. Each type offers unique flavors and health-boosting compounds, making them ideal for personal cultivation.
