It is actually very fun....and exciting. I never thought i would be excited about growing fungus but i really am. I did fail and forget to get you guys updated pictures this morning...gah!
The monster mushroom is definitely done growing, there is not a predetermined size on oyster you just want to get them before they drop their spores or go woody. I will get pics tomorrow..i hope.
The agar jar with the pins in it are now forming tiny heads....so wish i had gotten pictures for you guys..i ment too.
In other news i have the flu and DH has been on O/T for almost 3 weeks straight. We still need to make bacon/ham....good thing eva is hanging in the deep freeze(aka shop). DH did say something about bringing her up to hang on the back porch so we can more easily work on her.

Seems like you've been worn out, tired, sick, for quite a while... Wish you could find time to take a short break/rest and get yourself well.

They do indeed, though it takes awhile. Pretty much as soon as the stem starts to darken down from the snowny white color you better get picking.

Now for some pictures.
Well first....i need to change some things on my mushroom grow. I need more light, more fresh air exchange, and a cooler temp. That will make the oysters grow as they should. So i'm going to switch over to a tub with holes in the sides, perlite in the bottom, and move the bin to the back living room in front of the picture window where it will be cooler and brighter.
In other news....some of those spikes on the mushroom log(the pizza cheese lookin thing) are turning into mushrooms.
This is an update of the oysters growing in the agar jar
That's all in mushroom news atm.
Here is a picture of Rosie Toes
She still acts a bit unsure of us at times but she is being an excellant girl. I still have more burr removal duty, she tolerates it well for about 10-15minutes at a time and then she wants to be done. She also has some matts by her ears i am going to have to cut out i think.

Spot Pig

Herefords!!
And this hereford gilt....scaled the walls between her pen and the big girls pen and is now stuck in the big girls pen. We need to get her out....meanwhile she hides in the corner closest to her pen. i think she has learned there is nothing fun when you scale your pen.
