Wednesday was gave me my Shadow Shot moment...


By Thursday I think we had reached capacity...


Last night deserves a whole post to itself and tonight there will be pasta with oyster mushrooms for dinner.

As someone who has spent quite a lot of my life not eating red meat or sometimes any meat I love mushrooms and, in the UK, eat Quorn which is a mycoprotein (ie from fungus). For some obscure reason I found the wonderful Oyster mushroom 'plant' of yours rather too much with which to cope!

Graham, it grew so rapidly it was kind of freaky, nut the oysters tasted great fried up with butter and garlic. We has Santa Ana conditions here, which are dry hot winds, last week and they should have grown more, but began to dry instead. I was ok with the growth stopping ;-)

I tried growing mushrooms a couple of years ago but didn't get anything near that impressive! I think I know what I did wrong though and seeing your photos is tempting me to try again.

Antara, these ones were really easy, the only problem we had was the dry winds came through after a bit and shocked the.
