 +=== How to take care of your mushrooms ===
 +
 +
 +How to take care of your:
 +
 +Grijze Oesterzwam, Grey Oyster-mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus  http://www.casaforesta.nl/producten/groeibaaltjes/grijze-oesterzwam
 +
 +Koningsoesterzwam,  King Oyster-mushroom, Pleurotus Eryngii  http://www.casaforesta.nl/producten/groeibaaltjes/koningsoesterzwam
 +
 +  * keep your substrate between 8-18 celsius
 +  * after a few days cut two  slits of about 5 cm in the top of your bag.
 +  * spray (for example with a plantspray) a little water through the holes.
 +  * the mushrooms needs light, but don't place them in direct sunlight, a basement or a shed with a small window is a perfect spot.
 +  * after a week you will see the mycelliumthreads spreading through the straw. If you bag turns green or orange, then its contaminated.(and you have to throw it out)
 +  * whenever small mushrooms appear on top, cut the plastic on both sides till the top is completely open.
 +  * fold the plastic down when the mushrooms grow harder, spray water 2x a day. (keep it damp, but not soaked in water)
 +  * after the first harvest,  give your straw mixture a rest, turn the plastic back; at half a cup of water and close it with tape. after a week make some new slits in the bag.
 +  * wait patiently, the second harvest will come only after a few weeks. When nothing happen, put it away cool in a shed. Another method is that
 +  * after the first harvest you can soak the mycelliumstrawmixture onder water for four hours, tkae it our and dry it with some towels. 
 +  * After the second harvest you can put the package on a compostheap.
 +  * If you want to make new substrate; boil some straw for about ten minutes and add 1/10 of your old substrate in it and repeat the whole process.

 After two days of intense mushrooming, we had various ideas about how mycelium communicates with us -  After two days of intense mushrooming, we had various ideas about how mycelium communicates with us -

 After all, maybe it was not the participants who decided to come to this tutorial, but the mushrooms who used their higher powers and directed us. As ambassadors they lead the way to make the ones meet who are fascinated by these creatures.  After all, maybe it was not the participants who decided to come to this tutorial, but the mushrooms who used their higher powers and directed us.
