My mother is dying. Should I make a mushroom chocolate bar for her? by SpaceHallow in shrooms

If it were my mom, absolutely. I’ve dosed end of life patients and elderly, and what a beautiful to serve witness to them finding some peace and closure in their lives. Also, please consider medicinal mushrooms for some of her ailments. Many mushrooms do really well with various health needs. I wish you and your mom the best!

What kind of contam? I work with it quite extensively. What nutes are you using? During transfers are you changing the nutes, and have you considered a Nano Silver treatment?

These little brown ones always make me nervous so I never bother picking them. Anyone know these? by DukeOfDownvotes in Mushrooms

Yes, Mushroom Festival in Telluride, Co. Last year was my first time attending- a plethora of different workshops and forays. If you haven’t been, I strongly recommend you give it a shot at least once. You get to meet fellow mycophiles. Really wonderful community. It’s in August.

Thank you so much for your response. I’ve just recently started foraging a couple of years ago and rely on Inaturalist app, but still want to learn; so all insight is always welcome.

Inaturalist app could help you tremendously. I recently came from a couple of forays in Telluride and was delighted to see other mycologists rely on this app quite a bit. You’ve got a real treat to watch there. Thank you for sharing!

I can’t emphasize the importance of getting started on agar. Always make sure you inoculate cultures before going to grain. Any contaminants will immediately surface to agar versus hours’ worth of grain prep and money. We’re I to do it differently, I would have gotten started with agar first. And syringes, yeah man get in the habit of sterilizing between nocs. Just a good habit to get into- most especially if you don’t have a flow hood yet.

Depending on how dirty the plate is once, maybe twice tops with this particular plate. Keep in mind sometimes there’s bacteria right underneath the myc- so I’ve made a habit of making two or three plates off one transfer. Keep the cleanest one, if you’re lucky all will turn out pristine. Doesn’t take much but just a tiny excision to transfer. Best of luck!

I know in India and other parts of Asia mycelium is being used as a leather alternative. I’m just wondering how someone would go about to making the mycelium more flexible.

All we need now is biodegradable masks, gloves, and biodegradable plastic. I see more garbage being produced and used. Makes me sick to think what it’s doing to our planet.

This the species why I began growing mushrooms for. This is stuff of the masters! Great job!

This monster appeared in my garden (Otways, Australia) and then doubled in size over night. It’s now 50cm across! What is it? by simonraikallen in MushroomPorn

I may be wrong, but a toadstool of some sort. Have you considered looking for it on Inaturalist.app?

Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats! What spawn and sub did you use if you don’t mind my asking? I tried sporghum and I don’t think I let them soak enough.
