Homegrown Fungi

As a kid, the Edmonton, Alberta-based Shields recalls asking his mom for a mushroom-growing kit from the local garden center - even though such kits were scarce at the time.

These days, Shields's fungi obsession has turned into FreshCap Mushrooms (www.freshcap.com), which he runs with his wife, Tegan. It's a venture that sells 'shroom supplements that are sourced with help from fellow mushroom growers. It also acts as a hub to pass on knowledge to people curious about growing mushrooms at home.
