This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Gardening.

If there’s one food item that can be easily grown anywhere, it is mushrooms. They need no light and can grow on a broad range of materials. As long as you keep them damp, they’ll be happy. Some varieties will begin fruiting after a mere two weeks! Every apartment can offer at least a little fresh food for you.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Create an indoor mushroom growing system from an existing household material such as spent coffee grounds.
Keep it moist and in a situation suitable to the species.
Grow until fruiting bodies are fully formed.





To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Explain what sort of mushroom and material you are choosing
- Action image of yourself inoculating the material
- Show the mycelium growing prior to fruiting
- Show the fully fruited fungi

Is the waist material the primary growing medium or would using tp rolls to hold the primary medium work?

Note: While that's a nice indoor harvest, the holders (TP rolls) don't meet the requirement for an existing household material. It says to explain what material you're using and then show a photo of you inoculating the material, so a holder doesn't fit. This is also required: "Explain what sort of mushroom and material you are choosing."
