Ooooh they look so good I can taste them now. LOL Glad to see they are working out so well for you.

They look tastey!

What fun you and the boys have had growing these mushrooms. And to have such a good tasting produce in the bargain. Good job!

Thank you for all your comments. It has been such a fun and easy project so I think you should all try it and get started as serious mushroom gardeners. : ) After each harvest, we simply tape up the existing hole we made, turn the bag so a new side faces the sun and we create a new hole. I have ditched the paper bags because they are cumbersome. An old dishtowel tucked snugly around the back and sides seems to work as well and is easier to use.

Thank you for the link, Debbie; no, I had not seen it yet. If my life doesn’t get too crazy, one of my mushroom-related projects this spring is to inoculate some logs. We had to cut down some trees that were heavily damaged in our October snowstorm and I have piled up some elm and oak logs to inoculate in April. If I can, I will write up an entry about it.

That would be really interesting, RFG.
