The biggest Lion's Mane harvest from my shop so far.

This is only half of it! 😁

I lost a few hundred bags of substrate today.

Green mold.

I normally am unphased at this point when these things happen.

But this landed differently today.

I had been tending this new strain for 4 months.

*le sigh.*

Start again tomorrow.

Dyeball, or horse dung fungus.

We found some nearby years ago.

Ended up making a rich brown dye and using it on kickass canvas and beeswax backpack.
It´s all about mushrooms!
Pisolithus arhizus

One of the perks of being a mushroom cultivator is that I get to eat five-mushroom chicken noodle soup whenever I want.

Ok, I've learned more about mushroom morphology by scrolling @n-l.bsky.social's feed for 60s than the last 6 months.

The mushroom game on bluesky is miles ahead of x.

Repping mushrooms in my hometown!

Explored an abandoned mine.

That was rad.

No mushrooms though.

I'll use birch polypore to deal with toothaches.

Curt a slice and pack it onto the gum for a couple of hours. Pain goes away permanently.

You can also use the skin of this mushroom as an analgesic layer for abrasions.

Preeeetty fuckin cool if you ask me.
At one of my favourite birding spots this afternoon, this series of bracket fungus bodies growing out of this Birch.

I'm guessing this is Birch Polypore (Fomitopsis betulina)!

Armillaria mellea, Honey Fungus found at Marsham Heath, Norfolk last month. It's doing very well here, lots of huge clumps everywhere. #fungi

Mushroom gravy.
My contributions to the Thanksgiving feast: Honeynut squash and pesto Wellington, soft pretzel stuffing, mashed potatoes, and mushroom gravy. Not pictured: roasted Brussel sprouts. But I did make them! #JadziaCooks

Mushrooms cooked in rice like this is so good.
Mushroom risotto cooked to perfection in my Zojirushi rice cooker. Gluten-free, dairy free, and alcohol free. And yet, still quite tasty. My first time making risotto. #cooking
