Home grower raises blue oyster mushrooms in office bucket
Original: Melissa's blue oyster mushroom spores and growing bucket. The straw boiled earlier is the substrate. She grew the spores
A home gardener named Melissa is growing blue oyster mushrooms from a bucket, using boiled straw as the substrate and bird seed to cultivate the spores. The growing shelves sit in her office, and the mushrooms push through holes in the container so she can pick them as they mature. Home mushroom cultivation is drawing interest for how simple the setup is.
Why now: People are discussing it because low-cost home mushroom growing with an unusual bird seed method is novel and practical.
