From food for the future sustainable farms around the world by Myojin Art by Robert Sahan Mushroom Farm, Mexico. Where does it come from? Mushrooms are grown all over the world? They are easy and cheap to grow and can adapt to many different environments. Since they are a good source of protein, they can be a vegetarian or vegan alternative to meat. How does it work? Mushrooms don't need energy from the sun. So they grow in the dark, they grow by breaking down compost. Some can be grown on logs. But the mushrooms often found in grocery stores such as button cremini and Portobello are often grown in mushroom houses like the one shown in this book. Why is it sustainable mushrooms use compost for their food, helping use up waste and they don't require anything else to grow, which makes them one of the most sustainable crops. Farmers can also get as many as eight harvests in a single year. Did you know Mexico's most famous mushroom? The grows on corn on a fungus called infects corn. It turns kernels into blue black mushrooms that taste smoky and delicious. Coches are great quesadilla fillings
