'Shrooms in Bloom
Posted by Susan Ellis on Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 1:45 PM
I mentioned earlier that my brother received 22 pounds of tamales for Christmas. I asked him to take a picture. He did not comply.
My sister, however, unbidden, has been documenting the progress of her Christmas gift: a shiitake mushroom kit. (Also: Mississippi Natural Products.)
There was some time spent in a misting tent.
Babies!
And, finally, ready for harvesting after two weeks.
This initial batch of mushrooms were sauteed and used as a topping for burgers. My sister says that they were some of the best she's ever had. Frankly, I'm more than a bit surprised that it worked at all.
According to my sister: "It's been a source of wonderment for everyone who sees it."
