That's so exciting! I read an article about it recently and wondered if it was easy to do.

So far it's been amazingly easy, I've barely touched it after setting it up.

Omigosh that's so exciting and they look great! I only wish Laura wasn't horribly allergic to them :(

Allergic to mushrooms? That's a shame. Allergies suck.

How much does such a box cost?

ilumiari August 5 2010, 09:11:51 UTC

A little under $15.

Intriiiguing. Would you say it produces more than 3kg of mushrooms?

I'm a mushroomaholic.

No idea, I harvested 3 today and they filled my frying pan but didn't noticeably diminish the number of mushrooms in the box. I'm told they'll keep going until it starts to warm up (ideal temperature 18 degrees).

I too am a mushroomaholic.
