Moring Babes. Many years ago, without much success. But, having said that, I think they are much more refined these days.

Good luck

Thanks girls
Maybe I need to get a shed then? LOL if only.....
It seems 2011 was 'give a mushroom kit for christmas' - we got two!
One produced two mushrooms but not at the same time :-0
We binned one and put the other outside because the pesky little flies were not a good feel or look :-|

I bet the fellas will be along later to tell us they have laden shelves in their sheds LOL :-| :-D

Just a fun guy Emma :-D

Chucks one of my lemons over for Island to suck on :-D

up to mischief today I am. :-D

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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