Our guesses were pretty close!
The small ones are brown birch bolete. The bigger bolete remains a bit of a mystery. The blackening brittlegrill was correct (apparently they're edible but not great).
New picking spot, new spore prints.
Some Chlorociboria aeruginascens, or Green Elfcup #mushrooms, for #FungiFriday
The mycelium of these guys contains a chemical called Xylindein, which stains wood a blue/green color. I find the blue wood fairly often, but this is only my second time seeing the actual mushrooms fruiting!

The conversion of forests to agricultural land is happening at a mind-boggling speed. Between 2015 and 2020, the rate of deforestation was estimated at around 10 million hectares every year.Palm Oil Detectives
Fungi get injured too. 🍄💥
And when a microscopic fungal thread breaks, things can go wrong very quickly.
So how do fungi stop the damage and keep the rest of their network alive?

Welland Community Orchard #mushrooms growing workshop prep.
Oat containers work pretty well for mushroom growing. Small enough to be manageable and good at keeping the moisture in.
I grew these mushrooms in a cloth grow bag using only wood chips as the substrate. I thought that they would fruit in the top, but instead they actually fruited through the fabric in the bottom.
They struggled a bit due to the low humidity indoors, but I spray them with water several times a day, so I will be able to harvest something.
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.
Hidden inside every growing hypha lies a microscopic powerhouse — the #Spitzenkörper.
It’s not just a blob at the fungal tip — it’s the traffic controller, architect, and GPS of fungal growth. 🍄
This video will uncover how this mysterious vesicle cluster orchestrates the very architecture of life beneath our feet.

NEW EPISODE!
We had a great time this week. We talk about #Centipedes, #Mushrooms, and #Amoebas.
There's also a shout-out to @openscience in this week's show.
