Or so it seems.
For Christmas, my mother-in-law gave me a blue oyster mushroom log. (She knows me very well!) When I got it home, I set it up, and tended it carefully. I checked the water level daily, added drops of water to the top to keep the humidity correct, did everything it said and.... nothing. Nada. Zip.
I left it in a corner of the sunroom and ignored it. I figured eventually I'd just toss it outside and see if maybe the mushrooms would grow in the outdoors. But last night the 10-year-old discovered this:
Wow! Look how big they are!
This morning, I fried them with some onion and made an omelet. With fresh eggs from my co-worker's chickens. We split it 3 ways; of course the 6-year-old was not interested.

Interesting. I want one of these mushroom kits but I have never had blue oyster mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I agree. Now I want to go find a mushroom log.
