FAQ

Are all wild mushrooms safe to eat?



No. While many are edible, some wild mushrooms are toxic or even deadly. Always forage with an expert or consult a certified field guide before consuming.

When is the best season to forage mushrooms?



It depends on the region, but spring and autumn are typically the richest seasons for wild mushrooms due to moisture and temperature conditions.

How should I store fresh mushrooms?



Keep them in a paper bag in the fridge, not plastic — this helps prevent moisture buildup and extends freshness.

What is mycelium?



Mycelium is the underground network of fungal threads that mushrooms grow from. It’s essential for forest health and soil regeneration — often called “nature’s internet.”

How are edible and medicinal mushrooms different?



Edible mushrooms are safe and tasty for culinary use. Medicinal mushrooms (like Reishi or Lion’s Mane) are valued for their health benefits and are often used in teas, tinctures, or supplements — not necessarily for flavor.

Can I grow mushrooms at home?



Yes! Many species like Oyster, Shiitake, or Lion’s Mane can be grown at home using kits or logs. It’s a great way to enjoy fresh mushrooms sustainably.

Why do mushrooms grow so fast?



Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi. Once the conditions are right (moisture + temperature), they can appear and grow rapidly, sometimes overnight.

Can mushrooms be used for more than food?



Yes! Mushrooms are used in medicine, biodegradable packaging, leather alternatives, dyes, and even cleaning up oil spills through a process called mycoremediation.
