Enjoy fresh gourmet shiitake mushrooms anytime you wish, plus have something super interesting to put on display at the same time with this cool new Shiitake Mushroom Log Kit. This natural, hand-cut hardwood log is pre-seeded with organic shiitake mushroom spores that will begin to grow after a simple 24 hour soak in water and then emerge and be ready to harvest in only about a week to 30 days. It can then produce a new crop of these tasty mushrooms every 2 months for more than 3 years, indoors or outdoors in a shady spot. It's definitely way more entertaining than a trip to the supermarket, much easier than traveling to East Asia to forage for them yourself, and it also makes a really cool gift.

Sunflower Growing Kit

Sunflowers are scary flowers in my opinion. Regular ones get to be around 9 feet tall and during their early bud stages face the East every morning waiting for the sun to rise and actually turn and move to track the sun throughout the day before returning to face the East again at night. They aren't quite Audrey II freaky, but I still don't trust them. I do think they could be cool though if they were miniaturized and I could keep an eye on them here on my desk in my office. Well, now I can do just that with the Sunflower Growing Kit.
