Thanks God for the Lightning

It is believed that mushrooms grow quickly when there is lightning. I really don't know why and I never bothered to do a research about it until one day, my colleague asked me about it. It was raining on that day and there was lightning so I was very happy. I was happy since I have my own mushroom garden at home and I had this thinking that mushroom really grow quickly when there is lightning and as I have observed that it's really true. To satisfy our curiosity, I googled the reason why but there is no exact explanation why. Some says it is because lightning accompanies moisture and changes in the atmospheric content that are beneficial to the growth of mushrooms. Whatever the reason is, I am just happy when there is lightning because it means a good harvest of mushrooms and I thank God for it.

Today's Breakfast

We harvested our mushroom just this morning and I cooked it for breakfast.  I cooked my very own stir fried mushrooms with veggies. It's just a simple, affordable, easy to cook viand but definitely it tastes good, yummy and best of all it's healthy.

My New Found Meat Substitute

Mushrooms can be a great substitute for meat. I just knew it recently when one of our friends introduced it to us. I started eating mushrooms when I was just a kid but I didn't realize that it could be a substitute for meat. I also learned from him that mushrooms can be cultivated. The idea of cultivating mushrooms interests me a lot. My husband and I once visited a mushroom house in Opol. I was amazed to see the fruiting bags with mushrooms on it. We wanted to have our own fruiting bags so we decided to buy a few. Just this week, we were so amazed to see that we already have grown our own mushrooms. I was even more amazed to see that its growing fast. I am so excited to harvest some tomorrow.

It's getting bigger.....

I was amazed to see my mushrooms early this morning, they already tripled their size.
