If you like the idea of growing mushrooms separately inside your home, then you can certainly do so, but you’ll need to research the specific type in order to see the best way to grow them.  Examples of mushrooms that do well in the house include shiitakes, oysters, and white button mushrooms, and each of these wants a different medium. Oyster mushrooms like straw, while shiitakes prefer to be grown in a hardwood medium, and white buttons need a growth medium of compost. With edible mushrooms, you’ll usually be growing them in a trough or another kind of large, plastic container, so that you can produce a volume that will be adequate for eating the delicious mushrooms when they’re ready!
