Growing mushrooms at home can be fun and successful.  For instant, the button mushroom, or Agaricus Bisporus, is one of the most cultivated mushrooms in the world. When found in the wild this mushroom appears in fields and has a darker, brownish cap with darker gills too. In the wild, they are known as field mushrooms but they are usually labelled as the button mushroom or the Portobello mushroom. However, the Portobello species are usually larger.

Mushroom growing kits have become increasingly popular in recent years as the public opinion and perceptions towards fungi have relaxed a little.  No longer are people scared of mushrooms and instead are prepared to try and have a go at growing their own at home.
