I do taxes and this past season I overheard an elderly man being asked how he was doing. His response was he woke up on the right side of the dirt. It just cracked me up and made my day.
I love mushrooms and envy those who know enough to forage for them. But you get it wrong and you wake up on the wrong side of the dirt! Something to avoid. So I was thrilled when we came across a little grow your own mushroom kit at a local store. This one is for oyster mushrooms.
It is pretty simple. You take out the mushroom starter and make an cross in the plastic then soak for 24 hours.
I won’t lie, it is a little gross at first. Once it’s soaked then you want to drain the excess water. Place back in the box and mist twice a day. Pretty easy really.
After a few days they start to grow. And grow they do! It is pretty rapid after this.
Now all that’s left is to find a recipe for this gorgeous mushrooms! 🙂
I’ve always wondered about those kits…..That’s really cool:)
We thought about it for a bit before getting them but figured what the hell. 🙂
Is creepy-delicious a word? I’d like to find me one of these kits.
LOL, that’s too funny. You might be able to find them online. I never looked as we can get them in town.
How cool is that?! Where can you buy them?
We got ours at Your Kitchen Store. I’ll be cooking some up tomorrow. 🙂
Wonderful. I am going to do this!
Thanks,
Cindy
It is fun and the kids loved watching them grow.
Before I say this, I have to say that I mean it in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE. Ok, here goes.
Those look disgusting!!!
In a strange, strange way! You see, I LOVE mushrooms. I really do. But wow – the way those look is kind of disgusting me. *Shiver*
Very interesting, though. 🙂 😛
