Phuong Tran first saw signs of life in her oyster mushroom grow kit on Day 7. It was a growth, reminiscent of a spiky massage ball nubbly, rubbery and soft grey. “It’s super exciting because this is a rectangular box of what looks like just soil and all of a sudden … you’re like, ‘Oh my god, it’s coming to life, ” says the Toronto food blogger.
Once the mushrooms started emerging from the X that Tran had snipped in the plastic covering and spritzed with water a few times each day, growth was explosive. She thought of their tremendous overnight spurt on Day 9 as a kind of puberty: “I would joke, ‘Oh look, it’s becoming like a little teenager.’” Unlike awkward teenage years, which feel as though they could last forever, she didn’t have to wait long for her fledgling fungi to be ready for harvest.
