Update: The first photo was day 3 of growing. We harvested on day 4, and got 255 grams of tasty snack!

I thought a group of blue oysters was called a cult

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but those have more cowbell.

And they don't fear the reaper.

Those look like ingredients for a mana potion.

Be careful with these kits, especially if there's any extra moisture or humidity in your home. I've heard some horror stories about the mushrooms starting to spread.

Always a good idea to harvest just before they begin drop their spores!

Humid areas like bathrooms. Especially true for mushrooms that decompose wood.

Oh I see - thanks for the warning!

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Pretty! What will you do with them

[-] hallettj@leminal.space 6 points 1 month ago

Eat them, and grow another batch!

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

That's much more attractive than the ones I've used.

[-] magpie@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

These look excellent, good job.

[-] emuspawn@orbiting.observer 3 points 1 month ago

Extremely cool. Would you please share the kit?! I love the cork look.

[-] hallettj@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago

The kit is from Mushbarn in Grass Valley, CA. We picked it up while we there for a visit. https://mushbarn.com/products/new-mushroom-grow-kit-blue-oyster
