So on to my crazy topic of the day. This is my jetted tub. And in my jetted tub are three plastic bags full of boiled straw and mushroom spawn. Doesn't that just sound awful? Well, if you love oyster mushrooms, it's not awful at all! We put the bags in the tub, then run a small space heater in our bathroom to encourage the spawn to turn into mycelium, which will eventually turn into edible oyster mushrooms. Hubby has made a hobby out of growing several varieties of mushrooms, including shiitake, my favorite! He has also learned how to identify edible mushrooms in the wild. More common than you'd think. We do have the famous morels around here "somewhere", but as any mushroomer will tell you, no one gives up their secret spots! :)
So, there you have it. We grow mushrooms in our bathtub. So...guess you don't want to hang out with us anymore, right? :)
