    Anyone grown mushrooms from a kit?

    Hi all,

    I was just wondering whether anyone has any experience of growing mushrooms from a kit? And no, I'm not hoping to supplement my income by growing mushrooms of the magic variety!

    How easy are they to grow? Do you get many mushrooms from them? I eat loads of mushrooms so I'm trying to work out whether it would be cheaper for me to grow my own or just to keep on buying them, lol!

    Thanks in advance.

    Sian xx

    You have to be careful, I had a kit but the mushrooms didn't grow, but flies did! Little fruit fly type things! They then invaded all my houseplants and killed my carefully nurtured 8 yr old money tree! :-(
