Product Description
The White Button Mushroom has a very gentle, classic ‘mushroom’ flavour. The small caps mean you can get a lot of fruit from not a lot of space. It is easy to grow on a traditional substrate such as straw or straw pellets but can also thrive on more unusual substrates such as coffee grounds. All of these versatile qualities help demonstrate what a good grow this is if you are making a foray into the world of edible mushroom growing on a larger scale and want to start experimenting with what is good.
All of our spawn is stored in specialist breathable Microsac bags. This means that the spawn is always at its freshest, from our fridges to yours. It also boasts a very low generational count. The lower the generation of the spawn, the nearer to the original spore sample, so at only the fourth generation, this spawn is guaranteed to be both high-quality and dependable.
