Mushroom growing is easy．To start with you need to have a growing space where you are going to grow these mushrooms．It does not have to be too big enough for you to grow as many mushrooms as you need．When you have found the space that is perfect for you, you can start to research what kind of mushrooms you want to grow．There are hundreds of kinds to choose from but not all mushrooms are edible, which is an important fact you need to remember before you start．Don’t grow mushrooms you can’t use or sell．

When you figure out what kind of mushrooms you want to grow, you can make some preparations．Sometimes you need to hire some workers to help you if you have a large mushroom farm, or if you are trying to start a professional mushroom growing business．Trying to start a business by yourself can be stressful．If you don’t have time to take care of everything yourself, to hire a worker is the best bet．

After you have started the mushroom growing, you should regularly check and make sure that your mushrooms are growing properly and that they are not being attacked by any pesticides(杀虫剂) or any other animals that are potentially dangerous for them．That is the worst situation of mushroom growing．Protect your mushroom farm well with a fence or a gate so that only you and your workers can get in an out．
