Seasonality:Embracing Change : MUSHROOMS: DAY 5

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Woohoo! Signs of life!

Marguerite said...: Ooh, spooky! I wonder what made someone eat the first mushroom. How many will the kit produce?; January 19, 2012 at 8:22 AM
Hill Country Hippie said...: Yeah! And how many people had to die before they figured out which varieties were safe! I wonder about things like that often -- like what made someone decide to pick up a slimy snail and try it? (though I do love them now myself!) According to the package directions I should get at least two crops for a total of 1 1/2 lbs. of mushrooms out of this kit, though some have managed to get 3 or 4 crops out of it.; January 19, 2012 at 10:30 AM
