More mushrooms growing on the lower crate. It looks like they are bigger than the ones that grew on the top crate. I suppose that is the result of getting more exposure to the light from the time they started pinning.

cool grow. I'd like to try oysters on straw if I get a chance in the near future.

Or more fresh air. Light is a factor but from my experience it is a function of the color of the caps.

Managed to harvest a handful more. It almost makes me think of a wedding bouquet. And this time, you can eat it, too, after you're done with the wedding. :-)

The top crate is producing its second flush on two sides! I had to add a second grow light to help them mature.
I think the second flush came soon after I poured some rain water over the straw on the top crate. I couldn't dunk the crate so I figured pouring would be second best.

After adding another grow light, the colors of the cap has changed overnight. I've been keeping the grow light on 24/7.

11-16-13 pm. The mushrooms are still growing. I plan on harvesting the bigger ones tomorrow.

The gnats somehow found their way in the tent. I sure hate them.

Thanks for the reassurance on the gnats. I'm real happy with how well the modified laundry basket technique has turned out for me. I think I'll stick with this method for a while.

 Harvested half of the top crate's second flush.

Had open-faced mushroom burger for lunch. Yummy! :-)

Yum!
Try 'em in a frittata with onions, garlic, bell peppers, and some feta cheese. Mmmmmm...

Best way ever to eat oysters if you ask me, just saute them with the other ingredients in a big pan till cooked, add your egg/milk mix, toss on your cheese and maybe some tomatoes, and bake at 375 for 20 min or until it looks done. So delicious! I like to add some spicy thai peppers sometimes too.
Ah, making me wish I had some oysters growing now!

I copied your recipe. I'll try to round up the ingredients to make this. Thanks.

Yeah no problem that was just the basic simplified version, check out other frittata recipes to get the details right 
My wife does it better than I can...

I'm quite fond of oyster mushrooms fried till golden brown with garlic. They are thin so you get all so you get more crust to flesh ratio. I have a hard time pairing the flavor and texture with other ingredients (although maybe that's because I try and avoid meat). Bonus points if you fry them till crispy first and then embed them in an omlette .
I did it to some slippery jacks and the spongey pores got deliciously crunchy. I couldn't begin to understand why people speak poorly of them. Then I tried to sautee them with wine and they turned out slimy and insipid just like all the field guides say.
Maillard reaction and mushrooms are made for each other.

Do you use butter or vegetable oil to fry them in?
