mushroom kits

We have been delivering mushroom kits to all our school during the past couple of weeks, however here in the office we didn't want to feel left out (and we had to check that the kits were working!) so we've been growing a box ourselves.

We decided on the mushroom kits due to the fact that during winter the schools gardening clubs have little to do, plus the mushrooms are growing on used coffee grounds and chopped up old cardboard so its eco-friendly!


Starting the box off on the Friday

Bit of a surprise on Monday when we came in.

By the Friday (1 week later) it was ready for harvest!
