Build a simple box-like structure, add ventilation holes, and line the inside with damp straw or logs inoculated with mushroom spawn.

🧪 The Magic of Mushroom Growing – Slow, Satisfying, and Surprisingly Easy
Mushrooms aren’t like tomatoes or peppers — they don’t demand attention daily.
They thrive in silence.
They bloom in damp corners.
They remind us that not all growth is loud or fast.
Some of the easiest mushrooms to grow at home include:
Oyster mushrooms – great for beginners
Shiitake – grow well on hardwood logs
Button or Portobello – prefer compost beds
Lion’s Mane – fun, fuzzy, and brain-shaped
And once you see your first cluster of caps emerge from nowhere?
You’ll get it.
You’ll understand why we used to build these houses.
Why we watched them like treasure chests.
