Back in my school days, February was an important month â not just because it included the eagerly-anticipated Valentineâs Day, but because even though it was the shortest month of the year, it encompassed two holidays for which public schools were closed: Lincolnâs Birthday (February 12) and Washingtonâs Birthday (February 22).
Oysters of tropical and semitropical seas are mature and ready to hand on life at the age of three years. Osyters of cool winter waters, as a rule, are mature at the age of four years. Edible oysters are pampered and tended by fishermen. The settled youngsters are called oyster spats until they become two inches long.
Iâm no mushroom-growing expert, so do your own research, but below Iâve outlined how Iâve successfully grown my own oyster mushrooms on straw. Itâs surprisingly easy, although you do need to take appropriate precautions to make sure you are growing the right mushrooms and in a hygienically safe way.8) After a number of weeks (depending on the size of your bags) the mycelium should have spread across the entire bag of straw. It is at this stage (which for me was about 5 weeks later) your mushrooms should start forming.
