Grow your own mushrooms at home!!


I took one home and after 3 days, it is starting to grow!




In stock at Rock Hill and Forsyth

Back to the Roots Oyster Mushroom Kit....$21.99
  • Grows up to 1.5lbs of Mushrooms from the box
  • Simple and easy -- open, mist and harvest.
  • Mushrooms grow in about 10 days
  • Made from recycled coffee grounds!


This is an amazing product to have on hand.  I grow my own fresh herbs at home and will be taking a box of these home.  When you want to make a quick pasta dish, cut fresh herbs from home, cut some fresh mushrooms from home -- how easy and fresh is that!


Good the environment also...
REDUCING LANDFILL
"In 2011, Back to the Roots is on pace to collect, divert & reuse 1 million lbs of coffee grounds from Peet's Coffee & Tea. We've also begun collecting the waste from Hodo Soy (spent tofo / okara waste); Linden Street Brewery (spent grains & hops) and Numi Tea (spent tea leaves)!

(updated in 2012 they are on a pace to re-use 3.6 millions lbs coffee of grounds)

All this organic waste, when just dumped into the landfill decomposes to produce hundreds of thousands of tons of methane gas in our atmosphere, a greenhouse gas about 25x worse than carbon dioxide for our environment." -- their website
