Update: The first photo was day 3 of growing. We harvested on day 4, and got 255 grams of tasty snack!

I thought a group of blue oysters was called a cult

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, but those have more cowbell.

And they don't fear the reaper.

Those look like ingredients for a mana potion.

Be careful with these kits, especially if there's any extra moisture or humidity in your home. I've heard some horror stories about the mushrooms starting to spread.

Always a good idea to harvest just before they begin drop their spores!

Spread? Where to?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

Humid areas like bathrooms. Especially true for mushrooms that decompose wood.

Oh I see - thanks for the warning!

Pretty! What will you do with them

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 5 points 1 month ago

Eat them, and grow another batch!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

That's much more attractive than the ones I've used.

[–] emuspawn@orbiting.observer 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Extremely cool. Would you please share the kit?! I love the cork look.

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago

The kit is from Mushbarn in Grass Valley, CA. We picked it up while we there for a visit. https://mushbarn.com/products/new-mushroom-grow-kit-blue-oyster

Absolutely beautiful. All in color, shape, and presentation.
