Agaricus or field mushrooms, are white or brown depending on the strain and, button or flat shape, depending on the stage you pick them at. Freshly picked field mushrooms are sweet, juicy and tasty. Grown to cup size they can be eaten raw packed with avocado and seasoned with a little garlic and salt. Flats have the flavour, especially the brown variety, known also for its firm texture and little shrinkage in cooking- great on the BBQ or grilled.

To produce enough for many feasts make your own compost from straw and manure, then grow them in bags, boxes or in the garden. Easy compost instructions are included for a successful, steaming hot, sweet smelling compost. If you’ve never quite got composting right, you’ll be rewarded by following the instructions that come with the spawn. It really does smell sweet too- like mushrooms in fact, because the steps taken bring the compost ingredients to just the right stage of decomposition for mushroom spawn to finish it off.
