Mushrooms

24 July 2012 (Tues):

Bought this mushroom log for the kids to watch how mushrooms grow. There are 2 ways to grow these mushrooms & once they are big enough to harvest, they can be part of your lunch or dinner :)

Open method: unwrapped all plastic & mist spray 3 - 5 times a day. Keep in a cool place & not under direct sunlight. Mushrooms will grow everywhere; whereever they like it :P

Constraint method: Only the top cap is open. Plastic is still intact. Mist spray 3 -5 times a day too. Mushrooms will only grow from the top opening.

Both kids chose the open method & they are very excited & eager to see whose mushroom will grow first. As no one is at home during the day, we can only spray once in the morning & once in the evening. If i am hardworking enough, i may wake up in the middle of the night to spray it too...


Got the mushrooms on Sunday, 22 July 2012 morning.


Once the kids are back in the evening, our experiment begins...
Will update again.
