Growing mushrooms is not that difficult
Steinchampignons breed themselves - mushroom enjoyment from their own balcony
Steinchampignons are a form of the popular breeding mushrooms that can be bought at the supermarket all year round. However, you can easily grow the tasty mushrooms in the garden, on the balcony or even in the cellar - completely free of pollutants and in organic quality.
For newcomers: use of finished brood
At the same time, you can make it very easy and buy so-called ready-made broilers from specialist retailers, which are delivered in a cardboard box with already inoculated substrate. Enclosed is always a detailed guide, on the basis of which you can actually go wrong and gain initial experience as a mushroom breeder.

Grow Steinchampignons - That's how it works
If you find the species of mushroom cultivation described above too boring, you can even grow stone mushrooms in the following way:
It takes a lot of patience to grow mushrooms
Now it is time to wait until the straw is completely covered with the mycelium and finally show the first fruiting bodies. Be patient: until the first harvest, depending on the temperature, it may take a few weeks to months for mushrooms to actually grow. Keep the straw slightly moist until then. Unfortunately, fungal cultures are quickly colonized by fruit flies and other insects that are attracted by the intense smell of fungus. This can be prevented by covering the growing box with fly gauze.
Tips
Instead of buying ready-made mushroom spawn, you can also take normal supermarket mushrooms and place them on the moistened straw - the spores in them inoculate the material naturally. However, this method takes much longer to harvest.
