It is a testimony to my husband's support of me growing and raising things that he's OK with this being in the living room. He has fungophobia. I'm convinced of it. Initially I thought that he thought that all mushrooms grew in manure and urine. Even having corrected that misconception, he still can't look at this. I should probably stop following him around with the box saying "Look! Look! They're growing!" :D
We should be good to go soon. This surface was smooth when I got it. Looks like I'm getting a lot of shrooms! And I can get lots of flushes out of this cake. It's 10 inches high and you're just supposed to shave off a layer, soak it for a week in the dark then go again. That should satisfy my mushroom cravings, especially since the entire king oyster is edible. The stem tastes pretty much the same as the cap and they're super chunky.
