Nantucket Mushroom Farm Relocates to Chatham

Elspeth Hay

What does it take to grow mushrooms inside? This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with mushroom enthusiast and grower Wesley Price of Nantucket Mushrooms, which recently relocated to Chatham. He walks her through the growing process from mycelium to full grown king oysters, pictured here.

You can read more about the growing process on Elspeth's blog, Diary of a Locavore.
