What Do Gourmet Mushrooms Need To Grow?
Gourmet mushrooms need a substrate or growing medium, such as sawdust, straw, or coffee grounds, that is sterilized to prevent contamination from other fungi and bacteria. They also require a high level of humidity, adequate ventilation, and a temperature range specific to the species of mushroom being grown. Proper lighting conditions, such as low levels of indirect sunlight or artificial light, may also be necessary to stimulate growth.
