For Christmas Fun, Inexpensive, Unique Christmas Gifts: GMHP Mushroom Growing Kits

Give the Christmas gift of Good Taste: Gourmet Mushroom Product's Logs produce the same mushrooms used by the finest chefs in the world and grow easily, quickly, and almost anywhere in a home or office. Mushroom plug spawn allows economical, sustainable outdoor mushroom cultivation of hardy gourmet and medicinal mushroom species.

GMHP introduces two ways of growing gourmet mushrooms at home: Indoor kits for quick, delicious results and outdoor plug spawn for long term production.

For over 19 years Gourmet Mushroom Products (GMHP) has been bringing fresh gourmet mushrooms kits to into homes in the USA. GMHP's improved Indoor Organic Mushroom Kits and Organic Plug Spawn are simple, fun, and have many environmental benefits.

A wonderful Holiday Gift surprise for a gourmand, budding scientist or avid gardener, the Mushroom Kits are grown indoors at room temperature, create no mess, and only take up about 6 square inches of space. Kids and adults alike enjoy watching the mushrooms sprout and grow over the course of 4 - 14 days.

Sally L. from Wisconsin told GMHP about her first experience growing the Organic Oyster Mushroom Log: "I put up a sign saying 'Welcome to our Mushroom Garden!' I'm excited with the fruits of my first mushroom harvest; the first 'pinheads' formed on the oyster mushrooms about a week after my children and I set this up, and we were able to harvest the delicious mushrooms about 4 days after that. They looked so beautiful and exotic growing in place, it was hard to cut them off the log!"

Rated "Best Flavor, Best Overall Value, too" by the Wall Street journal, GMHP's mushrooms kits are Certified Organic, easy to use and guaranteed to produce. GMHP's mushroom logs are specifically designed for in-home use, but produce the same top-quality fresh gourmet mushrooms used at many of the country's finest restaurants. The kits available at http://mushroom-growing.com/ are ready to send to anybody in the U.S. who enjoys growing, and then eating, fresh gourmet mushrooms in their home. Choose from Shiitake, Blue Oyster, Sonoma Brown Oyster, Lion's Mane, or King Oyster mushroom kit. Gourmet Mushroom Kits provide fresh, delicious, exotic mushrooms in any home or office - without the day hike or identification books!

Now Mushroom Plugs and Dowels are available for affordable, sustainable back yard cultivation of hardy gourmet and medicinal mushroom species: Shiitake, Maitake (Hen-of-the-Woods), Hericium (Lion's Mane), Ganoderma (Reishi), Blue Oyster, King Oyster (Trumpet Royal), and Sonoma Brown Oyster. So easy to grow, Organic Plug Spawn is the perfect Christmas gift for mushroom lovers of all ages. Organic Plug Spawn now allows cultivation of mushrooms by inoculating logs in a yard with grooved birch dowels fully colonized by pure mushroom mycelium. Log cultivation is usually done with logs 4 - 6 inches in diameter with a length of 3 to 4 feet and each log can produce mushrooms for up to four years. Oak is particularly good for the cultivation of most mushrooms though many other species work well also: poplar, aspen, sugar maple, willow, alder and birch, among others. One of the best times for cutting the logs is in the fall or winter months for spring inoculation. Plugs may be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months.

The Christmas gift of good taste! Chef Bob Engel told GMHP: "Gourmet mushrooms are the newest addition to the chef's palate. Gourmet mushrooms have a natural savory character what chefs call umami which blends easily into a wide range of dishes." Fresh mushroom dishes also please vegetarians while the rest of the family gathers round the holiday roast.

GMHP has been producing Mushroom Kits in the USA since 1989 and all components of GMHP Mushroom Kits are recyclable as are all materials used to pack & ship the kits. Mushroom logs produced through methods that integrate cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.
