My secret santa knew I was a fungiphile, but what they didn't know is that my back up plan for my life is to grow and cultivate mushrooms! Thank you for starting this dream of mine to grow mushrooms. They gave me a Reishi Mushroom grow kit. The Reishi mushroom is a mushroom used in traditional chinese medicine but is world renowned for its medicinal properties because of the high amounts of polysacharides and nutrients in them! I have never had reishi so I am excited to finally try some! I am going to make this also an educational process - I am going to measure the mushroom lengths each day to see how fast they grow.
