Unhealthy hobby.

I generally believe that hobbies are a good thing. My wife is very much into gardening and growing things. This for the most part is a good thing. This week however that hobby proved to be not such a good thing. This winter she decided to try growing oyster mushroom inside using a few kits. Everything was going quite splendidly until the mushroom blocks started to fruit. The last few days she has been very ill with what seemed like and allergic reaction. As it turns out she has been allergic to mold for years. We never considered mushrooms being a mold and spores that they would exude into the air in our home in excessive amounts. After figuring out what was causing her reaction we removed the mushrooms from the house and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Within a couple of hours her reaction started to subside and we are no longer in the mushroom growing business.
