Mushrooms!

I was the garden shop the other day and stumbled across these mushroom boxes. There were two types too choose from: Shiitake and Swiss Brown mushrooms. The Shiitake mushrooms grown along a piece of wood which wouldn't be practical for my garage as the cats like to climb and explore over everything. The Swiss brown mushrooms grow in a box which is much more suited to my needs so i deiced to try that one out.

Above are the pictures of the Mushroom kit. When you open up the box there is a bag of brown castings which you add water to and then spread over the white web-like surface of the compost in the box. That's all there is to it. It's kept in a cool draft free spot out of the light and sprayed to keep moist. The instructions say you should get mushrooms in 2 to 3 weeks, fingers crossed and I'll keep you posted.
