I am trying to come up with new ideas to keep kids busy during these weekend lockdowns. After seeing all different shapes and colors of
mushrooms (mostly Mycorrhizae) popping up in my veggie patch, the idea is to grow mushrooms in pots. They do grow actually, but unintentionally. Can we come up with a soil mix that we will be able to plant a pepper or such in to the pot. The real purpose is not to get peppers, but have small mushrooms popping out. Kids can wait weeks for grass heads to grow, I bet this can turn into an activity (planting
fungi and a companion pepper plant, waiting and waiting). Any ideas?
For the record, if you google key words including these two: mushroom and pot; you end up with the uber delicious recipes of mushroom pot
pie. Very much recommended indeed.
and when you search for fungi-pot, you end up recommendations how to stop mushrooms popping up. Not very helpful
