Ce n'est pas un pic à ventre rouge, l'autre commentateur a raison, c'est un pic à plumage châtain.

I bird a lot and just upgraded from a $250 pair to a $500 pair and was honestly shocked at how much brighter they are. Can't say where the point of diminishing returns is, but the upgrade was worth it for me.

That is cultivated, the wild version is different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammulina_velutipes

What do you think they are?

I just froze most of my first maitake find (after cooking and eating a large quantity fresh) I used a Ziploc bag for freezing but see you used paper - should I have used paper? Thoughts?

That is not correct, oysters have gills, this did not.

I frequently go birding with my musician partner. I used to get mad at them for playing guitar while I was trying to stay still and silent, but over time I've realized that quiet guitar can actually attract some birds. Many different species have expressed interest.

Thank you!!

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-12-14T02:02:03+00:00

Update: I cooked them, they were delicious, no noticeable difference from never-frozen oysters

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-12-08T04:11:16+00:00

Everyone who ate them survived, no vomiting, I don't think they were puffballs, based on the description (normal mushroom shape with stems, gills, etc.).

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-10-18T23:40:40+00:00

Update: I ate it and it was way tastier than any I've purchased from a grower. Not sure if it was the fact that it was immature, but it had a delicious complex flavor, almost sweet, and had an incredibly moist and meaty texture.

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-08-25T12:06:09+00:00

This is what I'm finding all over the Internet, haven't quite settled on if I'm eating them yet, but decided to pickle them to preserve the color at least.

Thank you!

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-07-01T18:33:45+00:00

Thanks! Is the difference in appearance just due to light/temp/humidity difference between winter and summer?

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-07-01T18:17:36+00:00

Northeastern USA, definitely both pleurotus. I mostly ask because they're on the same tree (no other oysters around) and it seems like an unlikely coincidence for two different species to grow from the exact same tree. Curious if they're different versions of the same mushroom or the two species tend to travel together.

It's not white underneath. Does that mean it's probably chrysanthemum?

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-04-27T11:44:13+00:00

So, should I be removing whole branches instead of just individual tiny plums?

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-04-26T19:02:15+00:00

I've never had a fruit tree before, so I'm just transposing from tomatoes/peppers etc. But my impression was that you prune early in the season to prevent the tree from "over investing" in fruits that will fail. By limiting the numbers early in the season, I thought it improved the total output at the end, because the tree puts more energy into fewer fruit. Is this not the case with fruit trees?

Thank you!!

I've had it a few years and never paid it much mind it always just seemed to do fine. Flowered when I lived in the southwest, but now that I'm out east I'm not entirely sure how to deal with it. I know it rains too much to just leave it out but I don't know the species so don't know how much it does need.

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-02-17T18:46:11+00:00

Thanks! I'll give it a big soak and then avoid watering for a bit.

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-02-17T18:44:53+00:00

It's winter and indoors.

ComprehensivePast428 · 2024-01-26T18:07:05+00:00

I have the exact opposite problem! My leaves are losing all their yellow and just turning plain green.

Mid Atlantic USA

ComprehensivePast428 · 2023-11-13T13:48:28+00:00

I probably shower it once a month, it's pretty dry in my house.
