Mushrooms: Making Mycelium

During our mushroom unit, the organization Milkwood has popped up several times in our studies. They have a fantastic tutorial on how to start growing mycelium with simple stuff from home. https://www.milkwood.net/2023/06/19/diy-mushroom-cardboard-spawn-an-easy-mushroom-cloning-technique/

Tree House Kids Magazine had a similar experiment, but instead of using the stem base, they use the gills/spores of the mushroom to grow mycelium. http://www.treehousekidsmagazine.com/2018/09/the-magical-and-mysterious-mushroom.html

We attempted both experiments, but you'll have to stay tuned for the results of sloooow science....
