Growing 'Shrooms

The theme for my family's holiday prez xchange was "Things that live in the dark." I got a mushroom growing kit.

I started the kit on January 23rd. On top of the kitchen cabinets is the only place I could put it to keep it away from the cats:Here's what it looked like:The first little 'shrooms started appearing a few days later:You can see one now:Dilly is very interested in what's in the box:They've grown significantly in just a few days:Ready to pick the first one on Feb 12th:
For size reference...that's a dime:Only got three this round, but the 2nd round is already starting to pop through the surface.
