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!
