Day 2

This was Andge's birthday present from me this year. We've recently gotten into growing our own food and we had been researching growing mushrooms. We had been unsuccessful in finding a good way to do this in our home and the week before his birthday I was blessed with a tiny tiny advertisement in the back of Mother Earth News magazine. I ordered the kit and was miserable keeping it secret from him until his birthday. He was so excited! Now we are growing shiitake mushrooms on top of the refrigerator. We'll get 2-3 pounds of mushrooms over a 16 week period. After it stops producing, the growing medium can be spread on a log outdoors to produce mushrooms for years to come.
