I am so excited (this is Alex)! I got a mushroom farm in a box from Max for Christmas, and started growing mushrooms a week ago.  Look at how big they are now! I can’t wait to harvest and cook them.  I am going to saute them in butter and truffle salt and serve on grilled bread.  Will keep you posted on how big they get and how they taste versus the other mushrooms we cooked in the Great Mushroom Challenge… Thanks Max (from your mycologist sister)!

So we harvested our oyster mushrooms tonight and sautéed them (as planned) with a little butter and truffle salt. Then we served them on toasted bread with a garnish of aspargus. It was good but needed something so we grated parmesano cheese on top with a little bit more truffle salt…perfection!
