Grow oyster mushrooms and cook them, but know your mushrooms

The Pot Garden behind the Rusty Anchor Tavern now grows oyster mushrooms. Two oyster kits stand there: status oyster kit shows how far along a kit is, harvest oyster kit picks up to 0.1 kg of mushrooms, and sporulate oyster kit collects a packet of spores. A kit grows only between 5 and 30 C, and every harvest uses up part of it; an empty kit stays empty.
The sample cabinet in the garden holds labelled mushrooms and a field guide. Button, oyster, shiitake and morel mushrooms are safe to eat. Death caps, jack o'lanterns and fly agarics are poisonous: eating them hurts you, and cooking does not make them safe. Liberty caps and fly agarics change your perception for a while. Taste will not tell you which is which.
The Nova's Main Galley has two new recipes: sauteed mushrooms (0.1 kg of mushrooms, on the stove) and mushroom infusion (10 g of mushrooms in 250 g of water). patterns wood stove lists them, and make sauteed mushrooms on wood stove cooks one. Whatever was in the mushrooms stays in the dish.
