Be careful with these kits, especially if there's any extra moisture or humidity in your home. I've heard some horror stories about the mushrooms starting to spread.

Humid areas like bathrooms. Especially true for mushrooms that decompose wood.

Those look like ingredients for a mana potion.

Pleurotus ostreatus is a fantastic culinary species. Sauteed for six minutes they're very similar to crispy pork.
