Trouble brewing

This afternoon we'll start growing our first crop of mushrooms with our lovely kit. Lucy is VERY excited about it, and has been glowing about how she can't wait to eat mushrooms. We found this surprising (not the excitement, which is her general state, but the claim that she will EAT them, as she doesn't eat much), but went with it. At some point yesterday, she explained that she remembered that Aunt Kathy gave her mushrooms one time and she loved them. And that's when we realized why she's so excited: the "mushrooms" that Aunt Kathy gave her were meringue mushrooms, as seen here:
They're sugar and chocolate, so OF COURSE she liked them. I'm a little nervous about what happens when she realizes what oyster mushrooms are.

The kit is cute, but we did find the product advertising a bit misleading. As you can see on the image, the box claims "Open. Mist. Harvest." Cool. Sounds super-easy. In fact, in between "open" and "mist, there is a step called "take out the package and submerge the entire thing in a bucket of cold water for 24 hours, using something heavy to make sure the thing stays submerged under water." Now, this isn't really that much work, but it does involve hunting around your house to find these things, not to mention an extra 24 hours before you really set up the growing box. Oh well. I guess they couldn't fit all that on the box.
