Can we subsidize oyster and other yummy mushrooms instead? Because those are among my expensive treat groceries!

Took me a second to realize you weren't starting a bivalve struggle session.

Like it'd be $2ish a lb at this rate. I'd be cooking so many mushrooms, my family would get totally sick of them lol

I highly recommend growing mushrooms is you are friends with people who like them or your family likes them as well. Its soooooooo easy, quick, and low maintenance. The only problem I've encountered is having too many so you'll either be eating mushrooms for every meal for a while or you'll share with friends

The growing list of hobbies I'd like to have, but don't have the time/space to dedicate to lol

Honestly though as far as hobbies go mushroom growing has a very low time requirement
