Mr. Hawthorne got a mushroom kit for Christmas.
He's carefully tended his little mushroom patch,
spraying with non-chlorinated and non-distilled water,
often rain water, several times a day.

Lovely!
We're very excited, Mar!
Ate them tonight.
Posthaste forthwith.
What is that thing the mushrooms are growing on? Looks like a cross between a toasted marshmallow and burnt toast. And not a pretty cross at that.
Curious minds want to know: exactly how did you eat those delightful shrooms?
That's the mushroom patch, Lea. When it first came it looked like white popcorn or styrofoam. It's composed of a blend of sterilized, enriched sawdust and wood chips, fully colonized with shiitake spores. Over time, the shiitake mushrooms will break down the woody material, using it as a food source.

Interesting. Thanks!
If you're a mushroom lover, you should try this.
I'm not really. I mean, I don't mind them, but they aren't a favorite. By far.
