Portabella Kit

New! These huge, tawny mushrooms are a favorite for gourmet cooking! With their rich flavor and meaty texture, they even serve as the main ingredient in many vegetarian dishes. The Portabella mushroom is one of the tastiest mushrooms ever grown. It is very versatile in its uses. Portabellas are difficult to find at the supermarket, but with this kit, you can grow your own and enjoy peak freshness and flavor. Kit includes pre-inoculated spawn, produces in 3-5 weeks. Just add water and place in a cool, dark location, such as a basement.

Portabella caps can grow quite large. These thick caps when cooked can taste similar to eating meat. They are often used as a meat substitute because of this deature. This mushroom kit grows several crops of portabella mushrooms. The first two crops are usually very large completely filling the box with mushrooms. The third crop is fairly big as well. The subsequent crops after that get smaller fruiting in clusters and lesser amounts, until the mushrooms finally stop.
