I've noticed mushroom growing kits in catalogues and online for a few years now. 'The
Gurlyfriend' Sue bought me one for my birthday, a
portabella mushroom kit, that she got through Harris Seeds,
http://www.harrisseeds.com/ It took several weeks for it to arrive, but Harris farms these out to another company.
It comes in a box, apparently it is sterilized manure, and with a bag of
inoculated medium.
The first step was to open the box, and arrange the medium on top of the soil in the box. Then it was kept in a dark area for a week. After a week, you form a tent with an enclosed bag that has holes for air in it. You wait for at least a week, misting/spraying it every other day with water. Then little pinheads of
portas start to appear.
These go quickly, about 4-5 days or so, from pinheads to large mushrooms.
They really tasted good sauteed and on top of a NY strip
Time will tell if this is worth the money or not, but either way it is a lot of fun.
