Mushroom progress and harvest

They grow very quickly!

This was the progress after a week! When they started to look dried out, it was time to harvest. I didn't think they were getting any bigger.

It's not much but it was enough for me to add to my scrambled eggs this morning (along with spinach and onions) and I am very happy with the results!

Mushrooms growing

At least, I think they're growing. I noticed today there are some little blobby things that weren't in the picture in the last post!

I followed the instructions on the box which was to cut an X in the plastic packaging and then let it soak in water for about 8 hours. I then spritz it with water every couple of days so that the growing medium doesn't dry out.

I'll keep updating!

Mushrooms

For Christmas, one of my friends gave me a Mushroom Mini Farm from Back To The Roots. I had one of these before, well, two. The first one wasn't so successful and nothing grew. The second one languished on my bookshelf and after a couple of months, I found that mushrooms had grown out of it and dried. Not really thinking about it, I threw out the mushrooms. I should have just re-hydrated them.

So now, I bring you iteration 3. I just let it soak over night and it is now it will sit and be sprayed for the next few days. I'll report back on whether anything has grown.
