Day 4 of mushroom growing. According to the instructions thin white threads (mycelia) will have begun to form under the damp news paper. I pealed back the paper today and what did I find? A box of horse poo covered in damp newspaper

These are a few shi-take mushrooms I've got growing on logs in the garden. These were done with the impregnated woooden dowels....still wouldn't recommend to do them. This is year 3 and the first time they've fruited! much quicker and cheaper to go to the supermarket!!!

Mine did nothing, not even mycelia, it's all out in the garage now.
I've grown kits before and would do those again but I won't try spores again.

The kit I tried I am still getting a few off now and again...I bought it with a voucher, If I had paid full price then it would be debatable whether it was worth it or not
