I wrote another blog on how I grew oyster mushrooms on newspaper.
Another way I grew them was on torn up pieces of cardboard in an ice cream container. This method was fast, but the mushrooms were small and it was difficult to keep the right amount of moisture in the cardboard. It would have been better to use a larger container and have some holes in the sides of it. I didn't think to take any pictures of this.
