| First harvest in 12 days, April 18, 2018 |
My husband is psychic. He gave me a Christmas gift last year a mushroom growing kit which I really wanted it long time ago. So, this is my first experiment growing oyster mushroom at home. One day I want to have an experiment to grow the button mushroom at home (It will remind me when the first time I grew the button mushroom in the real environment for my research to get my Bachelor Degree in Agriculture in 1993).
I started to grow this oyster mushroom last Friday, April 13, 2018 by soaking the surface of the media overnight. The next day, I just put it near the window so it would get indirect sunlight. In seven days, I saw they began to grow and I could harvest them in 12 days.
Next time I have to wait till summer because they will grow better with temperature at least in 70 degree Fahrenheit.
I will write another post about this growing mushroom when I try to grow it from other side of the box. It's really fun, isn't it?
