British Columbia Mushroom Kits

British Columbia, with its rainy seasons and fertile land, is home to many wild mushrooms.

But what if you want to grow your own gourmet mushrooms to eat? Use one of Folk Fungi’s mushroom kits!

Growing mushrooms is easy with a kit. It’s as simple as this: cut the kit open, spray it with water daily, and harvest your mushrooms within a couple of weeks.

Most people grow their kits indoors. But since the weather is so rainy in BC, you can actually grow your kits outdoors if you want.
