I tried for quite some time today to squeeze some sort of link to the royal wedding out of my garden, but alas, to no avail.
So in honour of the impending nuptials, I instead decided to crack open the case of mushrooms I had been cellaring.
Now while perhaps not quite mensa material, I have somehow managed to toddle my way through life so far. But quite frankly, after reading the instruction manual included in the mushroom kit, my brain hurt.
It all seems quite clear now, but for a while there the toss up between which bag was compost and which bag was casing material was 50/50. But my brain finally cooled down, and I cheerfully added my 500ml of water to the casing material.
And dutifully placed it on top of compost material. The spreading it out part I guessed all by myself.
I then had to hunt around the house for cool and humid conditions away from wind and light. They forgot to mention children and the cat, but that at least I can forgive. I'm not sure that this spot really fits the bill, but there is at least room for them to breathe.
If anyone has any objections to where I have placed my potential mushrooms, please speak now.

I see how you would want to talk about the royal wedding in this post but there is just not that mushroom(much room )LOL in here for it.
Oh bugger joyfulhomemaker, that was brilliant! Terrible, but brilliant. I am sitting here glued to the tv, and am off to a little get together a bit later on. It's all so very exciting, although for the life of me I don't really know why.
Ali that is too funny I hear Prnce William is a fungi and Kate Middleton veil is made from mushrooms http://www.regretsy.com/2011/04/21/upper-crust/
Cathy that pizza is hilarious, boy I love a bit of imagination!
Yes, Im off to make some rainbow rice, which I have renamed tonight, "royal rice" for dinner, and I might just pop my own wedding tiara on my noggin whilst I stir the pan.....that will surely make it royal rice.......
Good luck with your fungi...I have bought two of those, and never had any luck, maybe I didnt know the difference between the compost and the other 'stuff'....anyway, never did get me many mushies out of them....so I hope to see oodles in yours.......
Ooo Suzanne, I'd like to see a photo of you in your tiara making dinner... could that be a special royal blog post???
Yum! You'll have little shrooms in no time! Where exactly did you put them...? Looks like in a room by a wall? They need dark so they may not grow there too well if it's light. You don't have room under your kitchen, bathroom or laundry sink?
Just got back from a fish and chip dinner where a few of us mums squeezed into our wedding frocks and watched the TV while the kids ran wild. I'm not in the slightest interested but do love to dress up and drink champers while eating a chip.
Oh veggiegobbler, I would do ANYTHING to fit into my wedding dress again...I hope you had fun...
Hope you enjoyed watching the royal wedding. We Brits are still good at some things: we do pomp and ceremony better than most, I reckon. Agree?
Suzanne, can you believe that I'm actually 20kgs skinnier than I was when I got married so the dress was floppy on me! it was quite fun but the kids were a bit too wild on wedding cake and the excitement of being up late in a gang.
I was only going to watch a bit of it to see what everyone was wearing but I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a real good cry at the music and hymns, and loved the carriages and horses.
I watch Neighbours and thought it was shown here way after you have it over there, but I was really surprised today when Kate and Lucas were watching the wedding!
Oh yes, it was just beautiful... she was lovely and he was handsome and her dress was just perfect. What a lovely fairytale for this day and age.
And Mark, in the lead up to the ceremony I saw a member of the staff at Buckingham Palace line up the glasses with a ruler... and thought, yep, that's where those rows come from :D
Veggiegobbler I would love to see some pics of you in your floppy dress!
I love the way this post about fungi, mushroomed into a conversation about The Wedding. i just love modern media and communications, don't you. All us bloggers can talk about the same event...even though we are scattered all over the globe. Now, I am off up the road to see if there are any mushies on that block where we got bagfuls last year.
