Any more?
Makes me wonder why they've been available for so long if they don't produce mushrooms. They ought to print 'throw on garden' on the box :-| :-S

Tried a kit once and like AnninGlouc - had more success from the mushroom compost used to put on the garden - lovely crops in between the roses!

Why has,nt she got a bucket and spade to collect the results for the roses. :-D :-D

I know Merlin :-( :-(

Wend's just showing off. She daren't frighten the horses :-0 :-D

Whats this with Wend and her Kit, ? Is she getting it off then? or just showing off? :-D :-D :-D :-D.Pity you have,nt got a nice garden Island Very Theraputic messing around with it. :-) ;-)

*races back through thread to see where Wend said if she'd had any success with kit*

Nope :-(

Merlin.....I haven't got a garden never mind a big field :-S

Not Mushroom anywhere if you lot get together. :-D :-D :-D.What you need is one of those big Field Mushrooms served with Bacon and Eggs on it. :-D :-D :-D

Yes, don't throw them away - good stuff. You might even get a crop of mushrooms. I did when I threw spent compost from a kit onto a flower bed.

*puts hook and yarn away* :-(

No,I don't actually want a lion's mane. That would make me look silly and it might frighten people.

Come to think of it, I don't even need a lion's mane for that!

now look here Glossy Ann..... :-| :-| :-P

I could crochet you a lions mane if you like Sharron. Might not go too well in an omelet though :-0 :-D

It's that lions mane fungus I like the look of. I just know it wouldn't grow for me though.

Nah! Spread it across the balcony :-D

*adds 'garden' to shopping list* Thanks Ann :-)

Actually........I could empty the barn sweepings into one of my large pots :-D

Never tried the kits but some years ago we always used to buy mushroom manure to put on the garden from the growers. this always produced a good crop of mushrooms entirely unaided :-D

Sharron, one looks like a spadeful of barn sweepings and the other was a small log with fungus embedded in it. Authentic or not, I can't be having with flies 'cause I do live in London dahling doncha know *aghast smiley* ;-) :-D

Thanks Fred, was it third time lucky or were you fooled by success the first time?

and I'll have less of your shitake Ms Wend roflmao :-D

Chucks mushroom back at Island - you can keep your fungus, honey :-D

Not a lot different with my tries Island ,three goes ,wto failures ans one with a few scabby mushrooms that looked as thougth they had measles ,not a good crop ,lol,Fred. :-P :-( :-D

I used to work on a mushroom farm and always wondered what the kits contained.

Do you get a little miniature dung yard and some little air-raid shelters or abandoned railway tunnels?

I am pleased to see that you get authentic mushroom flies. No experience quite like breathing one in.

Chucks mushroom at Wend in case she's worn out her other fun guy
