Mushroom Greenhouse!
The mushroom greenhouse is in operation! It's finally warm enough to fill the tank with rain water and start the mister. It's still quite cold at night so these few mushroom kits may take some extra time to fruit... We are currently working on many more kits to put...

Anemometer
