starting to get a few winecap from older beds. got a second flush from a yellow oyster block i tossed earlier in spring. been getting little shreds of Italian oyster here and there. this year’s winecap planting are giving me nothing and looks like almost no mycelium formed.
not sure what to do with that. i got no fresh chip for them now so they’ll have to make do
slime mold!
Dog vomit slime mold ?
found 6 different kinds of mushrooms in the yard today (mind you, I have an eighth of an acre with the house and garage.
1 older dryad’s saddle,
winecaps
agaricus
a funky stinkhorn
ink caps
and one whose name escapes me right now, but it is not considered an edible.
I also found a cherry branch I had put spawn into which was pushing something, but it doesn’t look like anything I could identify yet.
I’m also working on 2 other kids of mushroom beds, but these are pretty experimental at this point and have not yet produced anything.
May be a little late: but these are perfect shiitake mushrooms, somehow highly prized in Eatern Asian culture. Just when young shiitake mushrooms go through dry/wet cycles, the skin cracks and becomes so called “flowers”. This kind of shiitake mushrooms is usually called “flower shiitake” and priced higher in the market.
Thank you, I was afraid to eat them since they were different from what I normally see. There were only two but If I get more I will try them!
Lol!! Dead man’s something, anyway.
I have a reliable patch of these in a brushy part of my yard. Shaggy parasols, or as I like to call them, shaggy cake pops. It’s a group of three very similar Chlorophyllum species; I believe mine are C. rachodes.
Best guess would be a Ganoderma species, maybe sessile.
Looks great, I only get the green vomiter around here.
not that i would recommend it to other people, but you can boil these 15 minutes and then cook them how you want and theyre a nice edible for me. Do your own research there… recent discovery. Followed some mycologists who were doing the experimenting with the ones in my yard
That’s a bummer. As far as I know, Chlorophyllum molybdites is not found around here. The PNW is a great place in general for wild mushrooms. Dozens of good edible species, and also lots of good quality guide books for the region.
this looks like reishi lol. wild
Same genus (assuming my tentative ID is correct).
sorry i didnt read comments its just wild to see this. ive never seen them on anything other than dead wood. ive found them in sand but i believe dead wood was buried below.
medicinal and good for the heart though.
*now that i look again it looms like it grew from wood and just formed around the vine lol
That’s interesting, I know some people don’t have a reaction to them I wonder if that’s why.
