Blog
Discover our latest blogs and articles on all things mushroom 🍄
We have a wide variety of mushroom blogs on loads of different topics including mushroom cultivation, making mushroom growing equipment, medicinal mushrooms, foraging and mushroom grow kits.
We also love to share information about our other main passion, which is changing the way we farm food.
We believe that these changes are very necessary if we are to combat climate change. Food production has a massive impact on our envirnoment, but if we produce it in a different way it can actually benefit our ecosystem. This is what we believe in at Upcycled Mushrooms and hope that we will be a part of this change.
Our writers love mushrooms and want to share their passion with you
