He's been asking me to buy him some mushroom seeds so that he can grow mushrooms. Magical Super Mario Mushrooms: green, red, yellow, blue...
Well, I did my best. On June 5th we got mushroom spawns in the mail (Amazon Frustration-Free) and on June 16th (Father's Day) we had a WONDERFUL potato and mushroom soup. Here are some pictures from our mushroom gardening days:
June 5th - Day 1
(They just pressure washed our house before paining it, so the walls look horrible.)
Smells just like mushrooms!
June 10th - Day 5
June 11 - Day 6
Spraying the mushrooms.
June 12th - Day 7
They were growing like... well... mushrooms after the rain!
June 13th - Day 8
The mushrooms got larger than what you see in the last picture and, at some point, I felt like they began to dry up a little bit, so we made a wonderful soup on Day 11! I added extra mushrooms from the store (baby bella) and the soup was absolutely amazing. Here is a simple recipe that you can change to fit your tastes (For example, I didn't use noodles):
This is so cool! you made me really hungry for a mushroom soup. :)
ReplyDeleteWe've been on a mushroom soup kick lately, so I always have a pot of it in the fridge ready to go. Don't forget to add sour cream and dill to it! Makes it so yummy! We all love it, except for G. He ate some of his mushrooms, because he grew them, but he didn't love them.
ReplyDeleteYou can get a mushroom kit at your local "Whole Foods" in the fresh fruits/veggies department.
This is so neat!
