Well we thought we followed all of the directions. But one month went by. Then a second month went by and nothing seemed to happen. So we figured we had killed it somehow and we put it under a desk. Then we forgot about it.....
While rummaging around under the desk yesterday, nearly 3 months after we started it, Stephanie found this!
These were the biggest mushrooms I had ever seen!
Unfortunately they were moldy in parts so we couldn't eat them....
But being homeschoolers we pulled out the microscope and started naming the parts of the mushrooms and looking at them in detail. Turned into a pretty interesting, impromptu, school lesson.
How awesome!!! Are you able to save any of them as seed to try it again? I would love to grow mushrooms. We have even talked about growing them to sell.
