	I had some mushroom kits delivered last week, did the things you are told to do in the instructions and put them in the wet room to die because I am Killer Queen! To my delighted amazement, I already have some fair sized king oyster mushrooms.

	I once had a lorry load of it. It is good for the garden apparently but I don't ever remember getting any mushrooms off it. I would not have wanted them then anyway, I was working at the mushroom farm and sick of the sight, smell and feel of the bloody things.

	We used to have two mushroom farms in the area where all of us no hopers have worked at some time. Now there are none.

	I picked my first mushroom today. It is huge, a king oyster mushroom and there are more following along.

	I have mentioned before that I am Killer Queen so I wasn't actually expecting to have any mushrooms.

	Many years ago I used to buy mushroom kits as I have a great fondness for them. The mushrooms that is. I kept them in the garage and wondered why I never had any success apart from the odd mushroom. One day I happened to look through the garage window when I was doing some work on the side of the house, and there was our cat merrily helping itself to all the young mushrooms! :-\| :-\|

	I am sure there would be good money to be made from a fly agaric kit!

	The shittakes didn't happen. One came but the spawn died and started to stink but I have king oysters and, now the grey oysters are beginning to appear.

	....but have you tasted any? They may be totally different from shop-bought ones.

	Only used one king oyster and cut that up in some concoction I chucked together so can't really say what it tasted like. Don't know what to do with them anyway truth to tell. I didn't expect any to grow.
