I'm growing a bag of mushrooms! (pics)

I colonized some sawdust with King Oyster mushrooms. After colonization I added a layer of casing layer (special soil) they started growing within days!

Check it out!

One reason I am growing King Oysters is due to the cost from my local grocery store. 4 King Oyster mushrooms for $5! So...I wanted to see the cost for my mushrooms (growing myself and not a commercial purchases kit).

I'll let you know how it turns out.

This looks really cool. Keep us updated on their progress and your techniques.

After a few days they are about 3-4" tall.
