Did you know we're growing some fungi in our tiny apartment? No? Neither does Dorris. The apartment manager.
These are our pet oyster mushrooms. They grow in that plastic bag full of straw you see in that first picture there, and come out through holes my old man poked in the bag. It's not just straw in the bag though. There are spawns. And other things I can't remember. My old man knows all about it, he will have to leave a comment and explain it to you.
Man, this is turning into a boring, pointless blog with little to no useful information in it. I pretty much just wanted to boast that we have a shroomery in our apartment, and I wanted to show off that awesome picture my old man took. So, please, ooh and ahh and tell all your friends you "know" people who run a shroomery.
I like them because they look cool, like a little miniature fungi city. And, they grow super fast and that is interesting. Plus, they don't taste half bad either.

you should get some little smurf figurines to place under it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carrie. That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI used to have 'shroons in my apartment too.
ReplyDeletei don't actually know that much about them either. just that the straw was pasteurized and then inocculated with oyster mushroom spores/mycelium. other than that it is basically an edible chia pet. keep wet and watch grow.
