Never got any fruiting bodies, just Mason jars full of myecelical growth!! :-( Oh well, at least I have a really good and really BIG pot to cook stuff in, like the batch of "baked" beans I just made, which is when I decided to finally replace the ever shrinking original gasket!! Which just came in the USPS mail, and it was no UNlike the old dried out one I had, I didn't know at first if I could fit it in the lid's groove for the gasket!

She said that you have to watch out what you eat from there because they use plastic in food products to bulk it up and for texture. I don't know what to make of that.
