Let’s grow our own mushroomsFor generations, many Filipinos believed that mushrooms sprout only after a thunderstorm. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, my plantita daughter started growing mushrooms from fruiting bags. It was fascinating to watch how mushrooms grow overnight, are harvested daily and cooked into delicious dishes like mushroom sinigang and my favorite – mushroom tempura. Made as a compact, automated cabinet-style setup, it allows individuals, schools and small businesses to easily grow mushrooms. This should interest small entrepreneurs, young people, housewives and plantitos and plantitas to grow mushrooms at home.
