Growing Fresh Mushroom

What is this? A super huge homegrown oyster mushroom! :) This is the latest craze of growing mushroom at home >.< I bought 2 logs of Oyster Mushroom and 1 log of Black Fungus. We were told that each log can grow between 3-4 cycles. But with my not so green fingers, mine does not grow very well compared to others whom have tried this mushroom growing experiment. Anyway I've taken some pictures on the growth of the mushroom, happy viewing ! :)

The one and only fresh oyster mushroom I've harvested and cooked!

Unopened Fresh Mushroom Logs :)

Ready for the growing process!! Spray the log a few times daily...

Suppose to grown by confine method but realise the buds started to appear inside the wrapper! So I removed the plastic wrapper and expose the whole log, back to open method...

Unsuccessful for Oyster Mushroom Log #2, I've dumped it into the bin after 10 days since its first harvest which did not grow very well :(

Oyster Mushroom Log 2 still looking very bald at Day 4!

The Black Fungus as at today, it is still growing quite smoothly :)

Can you see some purplish patch on the log? sign of growth

My son commented this looks so ugly!! Asking me not to cook this >.<"

not so bad looking after it has bloomed properly :)
