    This is my first experience growing mushrooms and worried when I read that these were more difficult than the other varieties. My basement floor was 2 degrees warmer than recommended and after 3 weeks I was beginning to think that it was a bust. Then it happened. We got 2 huge clusters within a few days and more on the way. These are absolutely excellent mushrooms.
