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!

I am fascinated by these colors. Among the yellow lichen Polycaulonia polycarpa and gray-green lichen Physcia dubia probably, you can see the tiny pink fungus Illosporiopsis christiansenii, which parasitizes the lichen. I photographed all this on a blackthorn tree (Prunus spinosa) while tasting the blue fruits, which were now frozen and therefore sweet.

In the macro photograph, the twig is completely covered with gray-green and yellow lichen. In addition to the usual wavy surfaces, the yellow lichen also has round, tiny cups. Roughly halfway up the vertical photograph, a small pink lump protrudes from the lichen surfaces, which is a parasitic fungus. The background behind the twig is a blurred gray and brown color.

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.

How the humble mushroom could save forests and fight climate change

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. From a…

Approximately 16 mushrooms growing up from a central spot in the moss. All the mushrooms are fresh and have bright yellow stubby caps with whitish thick stems. The stems also have jagged flaky pieces covering them. There is a tree stump behind them covered with moss and lichen.

A close up to a mushroom that is short. The cap looks like a round sourdough bread. It's a light orangey-beige cap with some red splotches, and white texture. The stem is white, chunky and wide.
Some old mycena mushrooms growing in a cluster. The caps are like umbrellas, yellowish, with wrinkles along the edges. The stems are a candy-corn orange and much more thin.
more of the short mushrooms, three of four of them growing together in different sizes. the centers of the cap tops are more brown.

It looks like Mastodon people love #mushrooms so here's the ones I grow:
Homemade tempeh, from bean to cooked.
A plastic bag of soybeans in an oven
The same bag, now full of white, cotton-like fungal hyphae
A block of tempeh split in half, with the beans tightly encased in fungal hyphae
A small plate of glossy, amber coloured cooked tempeh strips, with blue and white chopsticks lying across the plate
