The recent thread on wild mushroom photos reminded me to post photos of the edible mushrooms I am growing. I really want to get into the whole cultivation process but I don't have the money or space for the equipment, so I bought a "kit" which includes compost that is pre-inoculated with spores and upon arrival in the mail is nearly fully colonized by the mycelium. Add a little wet peat moss to the top and presto! Mushrooms! The first crop or "flush" of mushrooms came exactly 15 days after I received the kit in the mail. See the progress below. I don't know why my images are links instead of photos, but whatever.
Anyone else cultivate edibles? (the culinary kind, not the psychedelic kind!)
Compost & peat moss mixture after 4 days.
Mushrooms at 14 days. The little shrooms called "pins" started appearing about day 10.
The first harvest!
I now have more mushrooms that I can eat! I guess I'll bring some to work and share.
