First Harvest

Today I harvested my first mushrooms. I have had a couple in an omellet for lunch today. The others are in the fridge until I decide what to make with them.


I worked it out that I need to grow 1.5kg of mushrooms to break even for the initial cost of the kit. That's a heck of a lot of mushrooms it's got to produce. I shall weigh them and jot down on the box the weight of hearvested mushrooms. These five weighed 146g and I should have more to harvest tomorrow.

    Thanks for the comments.It's a lot of fun growing mushrooms. Every time you lift the lid they have grown more. The kids love watching them grow and harvesting them too.

    Hi Nellilou, make sure you keep them somewhere dark. You could use a cupboard. Mine are kept in my utility which does not have a window so is always dark when the light is not on. Good luck!

    Hi dubgirl, I'm using a kit from Aldi and the make is Gardenline. If you look under mushroom project in my labels on the right you will be able to see the box the kit came in. Thanks for stopping by.
