Some kind friends gave me a mushroom-growing kit a while back, and I successfully grew a very cool batch of oyster mushrooms that I documented daily and then devoured. (The mushrooms, not the documentation.) I also devoured a couple of books about mushrooms and the fungi kingdom in general and started reading about mushrooms on various websites during my bored-at-work times.
Then I got to thinking about this and that and the other thing and wondered if it was possible to grow my own "magic" mushrooms. The answer appears to be yes. I ordered some supplies, read a bit more, and now...well, we shall see.

| Mushroom kit. The large burlap bag contains straw. The bag of brown stuff is fertilizer (sterilized horse manure, to be specific). The jar on the right contains sterile rye seeds. There is a spray bottle for watering behind it. It's all packed into a "mushbox", which is basically a cardboard box with a clear plastic dome over it (not pictured.) |
