#mushroom growing

I was watering my plants this morning and went to spray down the compost pile…and I found Yellow Oyster mushrooms from my spent oyster mushroom block FRUITING once again out of my compost! It looks like the oyster mushroom mycelium is starting to colonize and eat leaves in the compost so I spread more of the myceliated leaves throughout the pile and surrounded them with additional cardboard pieces. I’m so happy they’re continuing their life cycle! (Also: I keep that weird cage on top of the pile because there’s a hummingbird that likes to perch on it while eating compost flies)

Mushroom grow kit update…they’ve grown considerably in size and I think they’re ready to harvest
