I have been wanting to do this for awhile now. So I finally broke down and bought this Grow Your Own Mushroom Kit. It was about $30.00 and is supposed to produce lots of button mushrooms. It will be a great experiment if nothing else.
I am growing my mushrooms in a bathroom cupboard. Out of the way and in a damp warm environment. The mold smells a little musty, that is something to consider if you want to try this. There are detailed instructions in the package so you can't go wrong. I will just give you a quick visual of the process.

| It mails to you in the box you grow in. |

| Dampen the soil and cover the box for a week. |

| This is about 2 weeks later, it is starting to grow. |
 |
| This is about 3 weeks into it. |
At this point everything starts to happen pretty fast. I keep the soil moist. I check it once a day for signs of little mushrooms growing.
Look really close and you can see the little button mushrooms forming in week #5.
