2021 has been the year of new challenges. We grew this golden oyster mushroom in our own kitchen. For all of you who never took on such an endeavor, the mushroom needs the right lighting and environmental humidity level to thrive. I did not know what to expect and if we would be successful. This was a team effort between my son and I. It took a week or two before we saw anything starting to grow. This was our second kit and the first one never grew anything. You can imagine how ecstatic we where. Every day we would tend to it until the mushroom looked like you see here in my picture. Off course as an artist I had to capture the beauty and perfection of our homegrown specimens. Not long after we had to harvest the oyster mushrooms. The white and soft butter yellow color palette create a delicate and elegant high key image. I wonder if we had success because right now the cosmos for mushrooms are in their favor or the attention we gave them was just right. I like to think it is a combinations since this seem to be the year of the fungi.
