Making mushroom seeds

By Galaletsang Mosweu

Mushrooms are not like other plants, they come from spores and not seeds. It is difficult for one to grow their own mushrooms as the process to germinate is long and complicated. With new technologies and strategies arising, it can be possible for one to grow their own mushrooms at home with the needed conditions. 

Penicillium frequentans is a fungus that is similar to mushrooms and can be used to test if mushroom spore germination is possible. Another fungi that can be sued to coolect spores in Mortierella ramanniana.
