Growing mushrooms

Straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) grown on old oil palm flowers. This is a very delicious mushroom, that we use in many different dishes. My favourite is slicing them in thick slices, add a little butter, put them on a bamboo stick and fry them over charcoal.

The medium with mycelium is added on top of the palm flowers and covered with plastic to keep the humidity and temperature high.

10 days after the mycelium was added, the first mushrooms starts to show.

After 13 days we harvest for the first time.

Mushrooms and mycelium everywhere.

Harvesting.
