Blue oyster mushrooms growing in a kit

Update: The first photo was day 3 of growing. We harvested on day 4, and got 255 grams of tasty snack! https://leminal.space/pictrs/image/09e3a481-b85d-4c30-a2ca-56ffd4b76fd2.jpeg

I thought a group of blue oysters was called a cult

Yeah, but those have more cowbell.

And they don't fear the reaper.

Those look like ingredients for a mana potion.

Be careful with these kits, especially if there's any extra moisture or humidity in your home. I've heard some horror stories about the mushrooms starting to spread.

Always a good idea to harvest just before they begin drop their spores!

Spread? Where to?

Humid areas like bathrooms. Especially true for mushrooms that decompose wood.

Pleurotus ostreatus is a fantastic culinary species. Sauteed for six minutes they're very similar to crispy pork.

Eat them, and grow another batch!

That's much more attractive than the ones I've used.
