Marvellous Mushrooms

Our year 10 Food Studies students grew some very healthy and delicious Oyster mushrooms during distance learning.

Each student received a grow at home mushroom box that they cared for during the many weeks of lockdown. Recently it was time to harvest their crop and prepare a meal with the mushrooms they grew from their boxes.

The activity was part of a Food Studies sustainability unit that all students enjoyed.

Below are photos taken by students of the growing process and the dishes they produced with their mushrooms at home. It was a very exciting unit.
