mycology

Found this all over my local trail in Hawaii. Looks like turkey tail but not white on the edges and not a lot of color separation. Also, Ive never id’ a mushroom.

These seem pretty common, still don’t know what they might be though. Showed up the same day as the last mushrooms I posted. It’s fun to see so many different kinds.

Can you say what theses are?...

laughed my ass off when I found this assortment, laughing again now. pls enjoy...

It is so dry in my part Germany right now, the only mushrooms that grow in significant numbers are summer oysters. And then they are often too dry aswell. This is the only good patch I found during my last hunt....

Will it be ok on the bottom shelf of my indoor greenhouse? Tropical plants have been happy there.

Some wild Psilocybes in SE, Pennsylvania.

It’s not much to look at yet, but my oyster spawn is doing nicely after only four days. I picked up some spawn off ebay for pink and blue oysters, not realizing just how tiny an amount 10g really was. Well I had already been reading about expanding spawn in grain jars, and was advised here to also try popcorn kernels in...

I thought some folks might want to see an update on what I’ve been growing. For reference, I tried to grown button mushroom spawn on boiled cardboard, only to learn a few days later that this shouldn’t be possible. Imagine my surprise when the mycelium started growing anyway!...

Four days ago I added some purchased oyster spawn to five jars containing popcorn or rye (after sterilizing of course). The next day I noticed these white spots on the kernels of only one jar. For reference, the pink oyster spawn in this jar was also added to a jar of rye, and there is no sign of these spots in that jar, so I...

Day 4 of growing Pleurotus ostreatus cultures from spore. Only one plate got contaminated, but it was bad. There are two contaminant fungi going to battle, and around three possible bacterial colonies. I must have been losing it at the end, haha! Can’t wait to see how they progress!

King Stropharia just emerging.

Hello all, there’s a new community for identifying different types of fungi! Feel free to come join us!

Super dusty boy

2.8# of fungi! (Was a puffball- No gills or stem, though it was misleadingly shaped. Will share a pic of the inside!)

Hi everyone! In an effort to help grow the community, and as someone new to mycology, I would like to gather recommendations for reference materials. My goal in this project is to develop this into a list for the community to share these resources. Books, websites, apps, anything is fair game for this list....

Kind of eviscerated by drought, but a few still holding on.

I’m just starting to get back into growing mushrooms and have a few Oyster blocks ready to fruit. Problem is the temperature in my house/grow tent is usually in the high 70’s or low 80’s (f), and the humidity is in the 30% range. I figured a swamp cooler could help with both of these problems....

From the left to the right (in the attached photo): two jars of Pleurotus ostreatus spores (now mycelium) growing in grain, two jars of P. ostreatus liquid culture cloned from agar, and two jars of Pleurotus pulmonarius liquid culture cloned from agar....
