Grow your own mushrooms! The Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) is a gourmet & medicinal mushroom native to Europe. Nutty & peppery flavours make these a desirable ingredient, and the noted health benefits range from immune boosting to being an anti-tumor medicine. Our hardwood fruiting blocks are inoculated and allowed to partially myceliate prior to shipping. Watch as the mycelium cultivate your block, then slice open the wrap to allow the mushrooms to grow. Pick and eat as they develop. Delicious, succulent, and perfectly fresh.
