1.Explore Chicago’s Indoor Mushroom Farm Experience
At Four Star Mushrooms in Chicago, you’ll follow specialty mushrooms through the production process, from substrate preparation and sterilization to inoculation, incubation, fruiting, and packaging. The tour starts at noon and runs for about 60 minutes, though the overall experience is listed at about 90 minutes. It costs $20 per person and is offered in English.
“This was lovely - lots of information about mushrooms and how this organization interacts with the restaurant scene in Chicago. Would not particularly recommend for young children, although nobody seemed to mind that my kids (5 and 3) were there and wanting to touch the forklift (they did not touch the forklift). It's definitely a tour for grownups, but I appreciated everyone's tolerance. Thank you.”
