If you like mushrooms, these easy-to-grow kits are an excellent choice for fresh mushrooms. Fran belongs to our local Lakewood Village Women's Club, and last month, they had a guest speaker and demonstration from Barnett's Mushrooms, a local farm in Western New York.

Fran was the lucky winner of this Blue Oyster grow-at-home mushroom kit. I was amazed because I've never seen these mushroom kits before. We opened the box and followed the instructions. It looks like a mini bale of hay wrapped in plastic.
It has an X on the front that you cut to open. Then, you place a small bowl in a larger bowl and fill the larger bowl halfway up the smaller one with water. Wrap a dish towel around three sides, not covering the X, and spray with water. The kit came with a spray bottle. Continue to spray the towel several times a day to keep it wet. In about 3 or 4 weeks, we had these beautiful Blue Oyster Mushrooms.
We picked and cut these, sautéed them with butter, onions, and garlic, and served them over a couple of strip steaks Fran picked up at our local grocery store. They were absolutely delicious.

You can buy these kits on Amazon; they have a variety of mushroom kits. These kits make great gifts for Holidays and gardeners.
That is amazing, and congratulations to Fran for winning the kit! You made it sound so simple that even I want to try my hand at growing the mushrooms and I don't even like mushrooms. As you know, my husband loves them and I cook with mushrooms, therefore they would definitely not be wasted. Very cool indeed!
ReplyDeleteI was an adult before I learned to like mushrooms. Now I eat them all the time! :) Being able to 'grow your own' sounds like such fun - and a delicious treat as well. Thanks for telling me about this, Sam. Also, delighted that Fran won her starter kit of grow-your-own mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms and grow my own microgreens indoors, so I’m sure I would enjoy a mushroom growing kit like this. Congrats to Fran on her win!
