Master low-cost, DIY techniques to grow gourmet and medicinal mushrooms at home with zero prior experience required.

Module 1: Preparing and Sterilizing Grain Spawn

Master the foundation of growing mushrooms by selecting and prepping grains like rye or corn. Using the "Drippy Corn" method and a pressure cooker or Instant Pot, you’ll learn hydration, jar assembly, and high-heat sterilization.
