Is it safe to grow mushrooms at home?

I am often asked if it is safe to grow mushrooms at home. The simple answer is yes!

Mushrooms drop spores which are very small and easily inhaled, they are actually floating around us everywhere we go and we inhale them all the time with no problems.

Mushroom pickers, however, who work In large-scale growing businesses are at risk of getting mushroom workers lung- this is the result of long-term exposure to a very large amount of spores in a poorly ventilated area.

->For this reason a strain of oyster mushroom was bioengineered to grow easily in many conditions and with no spore drop. The strain is called SPOPPO and this is the mycelium I use in my workshops :)

So, for those of you who have any doubts at all, you are safe and sound with SPOPPO.
