Grocycle
http://grocycle.comGroCycle is a project launched by Fungi Futures CIC, an innovative social enterprise based in Devon, UK.
We have been growing Oyster mushrooms from waste coffee grounds since 2011, and are still hugely inspired by the scale of the opportunity. We also know that we want to spread the idea further, so we have created the GroCycle Urban Mushroom Farm to test our ideas, and have designed an easy to use Mushroom Grow Kit to enable you to grow your own gourmet mushrooms at home from waste coffee grounds. We hope you enjoy the process!
