Optional product to explore

An optional product example for exploring mushrooms with a grown-up. It is sold in an external shop; check the supplier’s instructions and materials. Learning here stays free.

Growing (and tasting!) mushrooms is a hands-on project. Young growers should always work together with an adult.
