I'll start off with something about as unrelated to gesnariads as possible!

Here's the 6 inch shiitake mushroom I grew last week on a kit my brother in law sent me for Christmas. I couldn't believe how quickly it grew.... First, there was a little bump, then a couple of days later a bump on a stalk, and a couple of days after that a HUGE mushroom! What fun!! And it was very tasty, too!
