Mushroom Business Planning Kit

Mushroom Business Planning Kit

Start small. Understand your costs. Plan your next step.

Could your interest in growing mushrooms become a small business?

Before you buy equipment or commit to a growing space, you need to understand how to begin, who might buy your mushrooms, and whether your numbers make sense.

The Mushroom Business Planning Kit brings together a practical book, two companion plans and an editable Excel workbook to help you work through those questions.

Start with a manageable growing experiment. Learn how to approach potential buyers. Then build a plan around your own space, budget, time and local market.

1. Mushroom Business Book - 44-page PDF

A practical guide from your first home-growing experiment to the decisions involved in commercial expansion. Explore growing-space preparation, purchased blocks, first harvests, batch records, finding buyers, dependable operations and the questions to answer before growing bigger.

A worked example you can use as a reference for your own plan. Work through your business concept, customers, operations, equipment, financial assumptions, risks and milestones. Replace the example details with your own research and figures.
