Grow at home? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking of a gift for my partner for growing mushrooms at home for cooking (northeast US, near Canada).

Any suggestions on something easy to start with?

Northspore, they have some bags, grow in those to become more familiar.

Start with an oyster grow kit, oysters are pretty foolproof because of how aggressive they are.

Don't get golden oysters, those are too aggressive and are escaping and becoming invasive.

I second the oysters! Don't get discouraged if they don't turn out great (or not at all) - I've had a few grows fail on me. But mostly they are great and easy to grow :)

I've done the oyster kits a couple of times and they turn out great, very easy.
