BOI

A gardener named Melissa is growing blue oyster mushrooms at home using a bucket filled with boiled straw as the substrate. She started the spores in bird seed, an unusual choice, and keeps the growing shelves in her office, picking mushrooms as they emerge through holes in the container.

Allrecipes has rounded up 12 no-boil pasta bake recipes aimed at simplifying weeknight dinners. The idea is that dried pasta can go straight into the baking dish with sauce and liquid, cutting out a step and saving time. The collection covers family-friendly bakes like layered pasta dishes and casseroles for cooks looking for low-effort meal ideas.
