Mushroom boxes

Mushroom boxes are essentially self-contained environments designed to support the growth of mushrooms. They typically include a substrate, which is the material mushrooms grow on, inoculated with mushroom spores or mycelium (the vegetative part of a fungus). Common substrates include sawdust, straw, coffee grounds, or a mixture of organic materials. The box or kit provides the ideal conditions for the mycelium to colonize the substrate and eventually produce mushrooms.
