Fungi have really built momentum. Some brands aim to authentically reach their consumer base with more intimate, hands-on offerings. Smallhold, for instance, boasts the Blue Oyster Grow Kit. The mushroom growing kit is marketed as "healthy, delicious, and a lot of fun." While Smallhold supplies the fungi goods, all consumers have to think about is securing a spray bottle with water, a rubber band, and a sharp knife. The brand provides detailed instructions on how to successfully grow and harvest the blue oyster mushrooms on its website.
