We all went to the mushroom farm. We went in groups. Evie, Florence and Tayla went together. The next group was Claudia ,Tamsen and Olivia. The next group was Caitlin, Hetty and Becs. The next group was Dylan ,Lucas and Laughlan. The next group was Alex and Kiera. There were lots of adults who came to help. We saw them making the compost by wetting the straw and mixing it with other things. Then they put it in a warm room to kill the bugs and make protein in it. This compost is mixed with mushroom spawn that they get from overseas. It gets packed into wooden growing trays. Then they start growing mushrooms. It takes 13 weeks from the start of mixing hay to throwing it all out for people's garden compost.
Our class got a mushroom each to eat or to take home yum! Some people did'nt eat them.
At the mushroom farm my group was Caitlin Becs and me, Hetty.
At the mushroom farm there was a super cold room called the chiller room. They keep the mushrooms fresh there before they get sold. They get packaged in trays you can recycle. Some mushrooms get a Vitamin D zap. We had to go through the chiller in groups. Tayla, Florence and Hetty went in one group.
