Shitake mushrooms at home


On January 13th we visited the Santa Cruz Mushroom Festival. It was a fun filled event where you could eat many exciteing mushroom dishes that you wouldn't normally even dream of. Mushroom cookies make from Candy mushrooms have a sweet maple taste.


While there we picked up some blocks kits of starer mushrooms for $13 each. Each cube should produce 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of mushrooms (we'll see about that.) And is made from wood chips and rice hulls.


I have posted two pictures on Plangarden.com where you can plan a vegetable garden, but the web 2.0 application can not yet support mushrooms as a vegetable, but that is comming soon.

If you want to visit my post on Plangarden and comment on the pics there, feel free. Here is a small version of one the pictures of the 10 day old Shitake mushrooms.
