Two weeks ago I bought a box of mushroom planter with tiny mushrooms showing through. It is the Swiss brown mushroom. Yesterday I harvested three large ones to stir-fry with some bok choi from the garden. What is left in the picture will make a couple of good meals and I can see a few tiny buds coming through the compost.
The box of mushroom sits underneath the house. I can't quite stand up straight under the house but entry is easy and there is enough room in this dark area for the mushroom to grow. The compost has to be kept damp so watering it is a chore I have to remember. I paid $8.00 for the box at the Sunday market and I hope to get at least $8.00 worth of fresh mushroom, if not more.
