Oyster Mushrooms Growing in the GH Kitchen
There’s always something interesting growing at Gen Hydro, and so I wasn’t too surprised to wander into the office kitchen and find these oyster mushrooms on the counter. It’s an inoculated substrate and all it needs to throw off one or two rounds of delicious ‘shrooms is moisture.
This is the second round that has bloomed off this little plate, and they look great. The first set is drying up nicely. I generally eat them fresh, but drying them is a simple way to preserve their amazing flavor. Anyone else cultivating mushrooms in their kitchen?

Mushrooms are always fun to watch growing.
The oyster is known for producing lots of spores, sometimes making it hard for other mushrooms to grow. On the same agenda, you shouldn’t have them too close to your other experiments, since they even grow on wet cardboard, given the chance. Amazing!
