Over the holidaya my daughter and I made "trash soup".

We sterilized some compostable paper, tea leaves, coffee grounds, etc in a pot, let it cool, and then mixed in oyster mushroom mycelia. A few weeks later, we have over 500 g!

Oyster mushroom spawn are coming along nicely. Having worked with other fungi, I am surprised how quickly these take. Must be a major reason why these are such popular mushrooms to grow.

Hopefully these will be a nice winter crop, maybe even something I can use to supplement the composting.

Two jars full of grain with cloth lids held in place by rubber bands. White mycelia is spreading throughout, eating the grain. These can be used as an inoculum for larger batch cultures.

A photo of a burnt area of land. Some branches remain on the ground, and some mandarin trees and banana plants have survived with some singed leaves. The ground is a mix of black and brown. In the foreground and the background, some ugly brown grass still stands, having recently gone to seed. In the far back of the image, at the top of the hill, the last patch of original rainforest remains, its dark green contrasting with the brown and burnt landscape below and the white overcast sky above.
A photo of an area of land recently cleared and used to grow maize. The maize has been harvestd, and the straight rows of dry and brown stalks are visible in the background. In the centre of the photo is a single banana plant with one of its pseudostems broken and bent down to the ground. The foreground of the image contains a large blackened patch of ground where the refuse from the maize harvest was piled and burnt. Some green pasture grass is already colonising the area. In the far back of the image, at the top of the hill, the last patch of original rainforest remains, its dark green contrasting with the brown and burnt landscape below and the white overcast sky above.
A photo of a cacao tree growing in a monoculture plantation tinted slightly yellow by the late afternoon sun. Other than a small clump of taro visible near the bottom of the photo, the entire plantation consists of only cacao trees and invasive grasses (visible going to seed in the foreground). Any patch of ground not covered by cacao leaves is grass. No birds, insects, or other animals are visible. At the left of the image, far in the background, is what remains of the original rainforest, appearing almost blue in contrast to the vegetation in front of it.
A photo of a ripe red cacao fruit held in someone's left hand. The deep red appears almost purple in the holder's shadow and contrasts with the small amount of yellow between the ridges. The ground is visible behind the fruit and consists of the holder's shadow on a gravel road in the right of the photo and the invasive demon grass growing alongside the road in the left of the photo.
A photo of a latitudinal cross-section of a cacao fruit held in someone's left hand. A small amount of white pulp clings to each pinkish-brown seed. The seeds are packed tightly together around a thin central core, and there is a slight gap between this mass of the seeds and the thick outer shell of the fruit. One seed has been cut slightly to reveal the purple interior. The background of the photo is a ceramic tile floor.

Made some hot sauce with mostly store bought habaneros. I would have preferred to use only my ghost or carolina reaper peppers, but the deer ate them. I have no idea how they could stand it, but we had a very dry summer and apparently they were desperate for food.
