A trip to Singapore Mushroom Farm

Submitted by Geok Bee Soh

Have been reading some articles on the benefits of mushrooms & started introduce more mushrooms to our diet. Finally arranged a day to make a trip down to our local mushroom farm. Below is a short review from my DD.

One Saturday, my mum decided to bring us to a mushroom farm at Jalan Kayu. My brother & I actually went there before, which was organised by our Childcare Centre. This is the 1st time my parents went there.

When we reached there, we saw many houses where mushrooms are grown inside. A very friendly uncle guided us to some of the houses to let us see how the mushrooms grow. When we stepped into the house, oh, it’s so cold.  Guess how cold is it. It is 15°C.

I saw Shitake mushrooms, Oyster mushrooms & Willow mushrooms. I even saw some LingZhi mushrooms.

After the fun tour, we went to their retail shop & bought many mushrooms home.
