A single spore lands, finds nourishment in decay and attains maturity..
In turn it exhales a cloud of life, a thousand spores land... so progresses Juffo-Wup.

So, after they stop fruiting, do you intend to divide the culture and grow more?

Having some shredded paper on hand is useful if you do.

Yes, probably. The booklet describes how to do it, but I haven't looked that far yet.

I've only opened half the house though. It said you can stage the harvests in two by opening one at a time.

"sprout like mushrooms after a rain" is a euphemism for a reason yo.

It is the mycelial culture stage that is slow.  There is also a senescence period after fruiting where the mycelium needs to rest before fruiting again.


Also, those mushrooms look mature, He should harvest them before they get too old.

Haha yeah it's like you can leave them for an hour or two and come back and you can almost already tell they've grown.

Harvest time tomorrow! At least for the biggest ones (door and front roof openings, they had a little head start so I'm gonna give the others one day or so more.

So, did you eat them yet?

I really suggest frying them.


In my own mushrooming-- I have divided my mushroom medium again, between several large plastic catlitter tubs, filled with hydrated coconut coir.  That was about 3 days ago.  At least 2 are showing signs of life.  I have to wait the full 2 to 3 weeks for the medium to colonize.

I think the coconut coir is a superior medium to the paper. It holds moisture better without becoming anaerobic, and the mycelium seems to migrate through it quite speedily,  It is also pretty cheap to get in bulk.

Yes! I fried them with onion and boiled them with milk and creme fraiche and cheesed them with cheese and parsley

I was going rewet the hay today for the next harvest but i think it'll have to wait for tomorrow, not feeling it right now

It costs 199 swedish crowns, which equals 24,02 american dales! From a quick glance at the home page it looks like they export to the US (and pretty much the entire world). I will not be ligible for speaking about the legalities of food and plant ex- and importation though ;)

I forgot to ask earlier -- when you divide the shroom, do you mean literally divide the shroom-infested mass, or is there more to it?
