Magic mushrooms

We have started our gardening at 88 early in the season this year. It's the best type of gardening, given the wind and the snow and the rain. It's indoor cultivation. We have mushrooms growing in the front room. They aren't hallucinogenic and we don't have rising damp. David got shitaake and oyster mushroom growing kits at Christmas. Apparently and in actuality mushrooms are very easy to grow. You just have to have a little patience.
Oysters on toast for tea?

David no sooner set the kits up and going than he had to go away on business so I was left with the arduous and onerous task of spraying the mushroom culture every day with water. Nothing happened for ages. And then one evening no sign of mushrooms: the next morning oyster mushrooms. Magic if a tad unsettling!
