From the second your Urban Farm-It spawn hits your doorstep all the way to the saucepan, button mushrooms are a brilliant and simple place to start for anyone looking to grow or sell their own produce.

Our fresh living spawn is double-tested and axenic, meaning that it is free from all other competing species. You are guaranteed to get a harvest of healthy button mushrooms, and button mushrooms alone.
