Well done! You’ve got a successful crop of beautiful, bountiful, Gourmet Health Mushrooms! Uh… So, what now?
Now you harvest them! Sounds easy, right? Often myco-maniacs get stumped by a seemingly simple question, how do I harvest my mushrooms?
A quick google search will tell you one of two things:
• Cut them at the base.
