The Magic of Mushrooms

our living room-- In February, a small but heavy box appeared on our doorstep. Inside, all you ever needed to grow your own mushrooms! Since the Farmer's Market closed in December, pickin's for our "local diet initiative" have been slimmer and more centered around pale roots.

After the required week in the dark, we transferred our box of spores to the required cooler place. Yes, we have a cardboard box with a garbage bag over it as the focal point of our living room. But we don't care! We have already harvested a nice helping of criminis and 3 large portabellas... all from the comfort of our couch. Thanks to our mushroom benefactors, Jenny, Greg, and Kira, the diversity of ingredients our winter dinners has increased by at least 20%!
