I spent $30 on a bag of sawdust — but it’s not just any sawdust!
After my first experience cooking a Lion’s Mane mushroom, I was interested in learning more. I saw a Facebook post from a local business, saying they had “Grow Bags” for sale.
According to the description, “The sawdust has been colonized by mushroom mycelium.”
I cut a five-inch slit across the wide end of the bag, then spritzed it with water. I’ll have to add water a few times a day because these mushrooms like humid environments.
The kit included instructions for building a Monotub Fruiting Chamber if spritzing doesn’t work and it needs a more humid environment.
The mushrooms should start growing within two weeks. If I do it right, I’ll be able to harvest the mushrooms and eat them. If not, it’ll still be a fun experiment!
