I thought a group of blue oysters was called a cult

Yeah, but those have more cowbell.

And they don't fear the reaper.

Those look like ingredients for a mana potion.

Be careful with these kits, especially if there's any extra moisture or humidity in your home. I've heard some horror stories about the mushrooms starting to spread.

Always a good idea to harvest just before they begin drop their spores!

Humid areas like bathrooms. Especially true for mushrooms that decompose wood.

That's much more attractive than the ones I've used.

Pretty! What will you do with them

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 5 points 3 weeks ago

Eat them, and grow another batch!

Extremely cool. Would you please share the kit?! I love the cork look.

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 3 points 3 weeks ago

The kit is from Mushbarn in Grass Valley, CA. We picked it up while we there for a visit. https://mushbarn.com/products/new-mushroom-grow-kit-blue-oyster
