Grow your own mushrooms

Thought I would show you all the mushroom box we had given us as a prezzie for xmas.We wasn't sure whether it would work,but after following the instructions a month ago,we are now the proud owners of our very own mushroom farm :D It will be a few more days yet before we can start havesting, as they are a wee bit too small,but are looking forward to our first crop

 

Hi Woo,not sure where my neighbours got the box from.Don't run off.I have just taken a photo of the wrapper that has the instructions on,wait there please while I download it

 

Here we go Woo,not sure where they bought them from though

 

I have seen those in B&Q not sure how much though

 

GS,we had them as a Prezzie so wouldn't ask,but it was a nice suprise...It was probably a Thankyou gift for not complaining when they had a Ferrari parked on their drive which was revving up in the early hours of the morning...

 

My daughter got me one for christmas - she got from woolworths!

I have been getting mushrooms for a couple of weeks now. Very tasty!

 

Kandyfloss, the icing on the cake is that spent mushroom compost is full of goodness.

Dig it into your veg plot / borders when finished with, and reap the rewards again later!

TTFN

 

They sell them in a few places and are very cheap for what you get.
Great fun to do, even better to let the kids do it.

 

These what is left after the first harvest,but we have more on the way.The taste is even better than the shops :D

 

Shiney,I wouldn't fancy having those growing in the garden,but you need some of the above ones... :D :D

 

wonderful, kandyfloss, I will certainly buy the kit If I have the chance...

 

They are a bit long winded to grow,putting them in the airing cupboard for so many days and then bringing them back out again,doing the next part and then back in again,then keeping them somewhere cool,but in the end you have the results ready to eat...Let us know if you manage to get some.At least with my photos it shows that they do work...Good Luck

 

I just put mine near a radiator for a while (I don't have an airing cupboard).
I watered them with luke warm water too. Don't know if that helped or not!
