They say to put it outside when it's "done" if the weather allows so I'm going to leave it as is for now and then put it out in the spring - you never know.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-47768495850948568172018-01-05T11:25:29.485-05:002018-01-05T11:25:29.485-05:00Very cool.

I harvested those in the photo shortly after taking it as I realized they were at the perfect stage - they grow so fast that the harvest window is little more than a day.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-788320183198985632017-11-21T04:41:42.288-05:002017-11-21T04:41:42.288-05:00When I first received the kit and did a bit of mus...When I first received the kit and did a bit of mushroom googling, it seemed like a rather complicated venture if you were trying to grow them "au natural" in an outdoor environment - that was my impression, anyhow. This was super easy as all the (seemingly) complicated bits are done for you. I had my doubts but I must say I'm quite impressed!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-3305894443623571602017-11-21T04:39:25.256-05:002017-11-21T04:39:25.256-05:00Yup - it's the kit and you're right, it...Yup - it's the kit and you're right, it's just fascinating!.

One was for shiitake and the other for oyster mushrooms, but I've yet to see any results. I may have to rethink and go the tabletop route.
