About the Book
"Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom." ~ Thomas Carlyle
You practice many hobbies across your lifetime, but few give you the thrill, enigma, and satisfaction of growing Mushrooms.
Every cycle you cultivate the same Mushroom, you would notice the magic of nature.
It is apt that Mushrooms is closely related to humans than plants.
This book is the gist of my years of interest in Mushrooms and subsequent practice in the last three years.
I started with readymade grow bags and then tried Martha Chamber, a 5-gallon bucket, and outdoor logs.
Each methodology is an experience, and the saying "Enjoy the process" is best suited for this hobby.
Finally, as I gained some expertise and produced a considerable amount of mushrooms from outdoor beds, I also used my digital marketing expertise to sell them in my neighborhood!
All that experiences right from starting to mass-produce are covered in the book.
Going through the book, you can foresee your journey for the next 3-4 years if you start today.
Topics covered:
- Mushrooming 101-The beginning of this journey
- The science behind it: Nature's play!
- Growing Mushrooms at home
- Techniques – PF Tek, 5 Gallon Bucket, Monotub, Log Grow, Bottle/Jar, Outdoor, Straw Logs & much more
- Which Mushroom to grow and how?
- Common challenges you would face
- Earning Profits: If you wish to sell!
- Frequently Asked Questions: Questions I remember interacting with other fellow growers.
- Few more tips like the Mushroom growing process diagram (the simple one!), Mushroom Tree compatibility, and Precautions for beginner's
So, what are you waiting for?
Start your Mushrooming journey and witness the magic of nature!
About the Author
Hello,
Welcome to my profile!
Here's my story:
I am Business Consultant in my mid-thirties with a Bachelor's in Engineering & Master in Business Management.
I have worked in the areas of IT Advisory & Roadmap and Project Management for transformational projects. Currently, I am working with the public sector in the e-Governance space, trying to take the benefits of technology to the masses through innovation and customization.
This aspect of disruptive technology beyond regular discussions/implementation excites me. I am always looking for that case study in South America, Africa, or Asia, where the game's rules have been changed to solve the massive scale of the problem!
On the personal front, the last ten years have been a roller coaster ride managing my career and family. My elder son is seven years old, and the second one turned 2.
Besides Technology, I have been into Leather Crafting, wood crafting, and foraging for the last five years. It is a perfect hobby for my weekends, and I enjoy crafting beautiful gifts for my family and friends.
I have been working consistently and most importantly enjoying my current phase of life, career, and growth. With all the experience and renewed vigor, I will surely achieve my goals in a stipulated time frame. I decided to jot down my learning and experiences along the way and share it with you.
Will See You Soon, Friend!
