Homegrown pink oyster mushroom box
I saw these kits at the Münstermarkt mushroom stand and just had to try one. They are ready-made spawn: just slice open the box and mist it a couple times a day to maintain moisture.
In a few days it was flushing and after another three days they were ready to harvest! I made a pink oyster Flammkuchen, topped a porcini mushroom soup, and also had fun making spore prints.
