Funny Fungi

Drew sent me an early christmas present - a log of straw, seeded with mushroom spoors - oyster mushrooms! What a cool process to watch!

I left the bag sit for a couple of days.

When a good covering of mycelium was evident I cut 3 slits in the bag. The instructions were to remove most of the bag but the lady told Drew that, because of the hot weather, I should just do the smaller openings.

I kept misting it and after a couple of days, these appeared.

Then these!

Each day they grew a little bigger.

 They look like little houses for fairies. Or aliens.

We ate them for breakfast with bacon and eggs. Delicious. The log will continue to produce; when it's finished we'll dig the log into the garden bed and see what happens.
