Party in the Mushroom House!!!

This morning I cut one more mushroom from the mushroom house, for a total of 3 Shiitake mushrooms in the fridge! 

Now tha house looks like this. So the party is still going on! Oh yeah!

 

Picking mushrooms in my own b...bathroom

Beautiful, beautiful, so exciting!!! Okay, so I put them in the fridge until I figure out what to do with them...or more how to eat them...:)

 

 

 

Oh my! Mushy Explosion!

WOW!!! So I cut the plastic yesterday to make room for the big mushrooms and today, voila! I will cut the three big ones tonight to make room for the others ;)

 

Biggest gossip of 2011, yet...

It is now 54% humidity and 15 degrees Celcius in the environment of what looks like my first offspring :D. I called them, Shi-shi, Ta-ta and Ke-ke :) Very exciting!

  Although I have left my little block for a couple days to its fate without sprinkling with love and water, humidity inside the mushroom bag remained...

 

The overall aspect of the mushroom block didn't change, however, the mushrooms started to make their room inside and push on the plastic. At the bottom of the bag, although it is not recommended I must say, I made some incisions to let the mushrooms grow. It is better to ignore the mushrooms at the bottom as too many incisions release the humidity and ruins the bag for further fruiting. On that note, I will await further surprises :)
