My grandma got this for me, ill be getting 2 other things in the next 2 months. Hurrah for mushrooms!
 
I LOVE S hitake mushrooms. What are the straws for?
 
That's cool. I grew some sort of mushroom once, but never did anything w/ 'em.

JLAP, those are metal rods, I think. Prolly just to keep the dirt together.

Shitake and all mushrooms grow from mycelium. Mycelium will form a Mass (the white stuff you see), that thing weighs quite a bit after being dunked. (put under water for 24 hours) it all holds its self together.

The chop sticks :p hold up the humidity tent that came with it, I don't have any empty plastic tubs I can use right now. *cough cough*

The mushrooms gotten huge, ill take a picture of it for you guys.

The next flush (batch of mushrooms that grow kind of like a bushel of wheat) Should have allot more mushrooms on it. First flushes are never very good with mushrooms.

it is a little deformed, but thats because i think the way it was growing so close to the side, it kinda bruised the shroom.
 
Thats cool, nice job. I always wanted to try one of those mushroom grow kits.
