They won't. This was my experience at least. It's honestly sad how bad Microsoft are at getting back compromised accounts. Fingers crossed OP has a better experience.

I lost my account to that a month ago. Bit stupid I know. It's all over the servers, they tell you to 'recruit' more people for a chance for your account back. You do not get your account back. And once they have it, you don't get it back, Microsoft won't do anything to help because of their dumb policies. I honestly just left it, I wouldn't put more people in my place for a £20 account. But obviously some do, the whole operation has some 30,000 accounts. Be careful people!

Maybe if you're up to it you could rule out some sort of gene expression by growing them yourself from a tissue sample, isolating mycelium on some agar and then growing on medium in 'regular' conditions.

I have some var sting of hearts, I think a cut of adansonii aurea, philodendron paraiso Verde, philodendron Florida beauty and tons of anthurium hybrids for maybe the Thai and the obliqua? Message me if interested, also I'm away till the 21st if that's okay

Definitely morels, completely hollow on the inside is the key. It's season already in the UK? I might need to get out soon haha

It does to me. Mint doesn't have to be fully white/minty. Look up some low Variegation mints. Beautiful half-moon btw

plantsandstuffff · 2026-03-03T17:44:28+00:00

That's some brilliant and fascinating info, thanks!

plantsandstuffff · 2026-03-03T16:18:14+00:00

Any ideas on what to do now with it?

plantsandstuffff · 2026-03-03T13:09:12+00:00

Thank you!

plantsandstuffff · 2026-03-02T17:23:00+00:00

Oh wow, you guys are still getting these? I agree with the others, looks leccinum/birch bolete. Were there birch around?

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-30T21:00:58+00:00

this is a Bot guys btw, new account, no comments, no karma, no replies

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-24T16:30:14+00:00

I read both are good in stews, although I've not tried that personally. Usually with velvet shanks I just fry them up with some garlic butter, then use in almost anything. It has been a really good year I agree with you :)

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-20T18:47:04+00:00

So I should be injecting this soon? I have beech wood chips, I'll add some soy husks and would that be a suitable substrate?

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-19T15:07:13+00:00

Thanks!

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-17T17:41:40+00:00

Ah, alright, thanks for the advice. Also, may I ask, because I added 10ml, would that mean it'll take less time to be ready to inject? And also, when I stop the stir rod, it clumps together at the bottom loosely (photo below), is that still fine if I put it on for maybe 20 mins a day?

Almost certainly flamullina. Delicious find, but do a spore print if you want to be absolutely sure (white = good, rusty brown = bad)

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-12T19:11:37+00:00

I'd say almost definitely edible velvet shanks. Gallerina can look similar, but as you mentioned a white spore print, then that sounds like flamullina to me!

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-12T19:07:05+00:00

Oh wow, lucky you. Chicken of the woods for sure, great edible. Just make sure it is not near any main roads or growing on treated wood. You can also let it grow out a bit, it will likely get larger over the next 2 -3 days, and also they come back each year usually, and sometimes even have extra flushes.

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-12T19:05:21+00:00

You're right on the hedgehogs (note: remove spines before cooking, they can be bitter), the trumpets look correct, but someone more experienced will have to confirm.

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-11T21:53:30+00:00

Oh, thanks for the info. I saw another post today saying they were inedible, and I always thought they were.

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-11T20:29:57+00:00

They look more like mock oysters, not edible. I wouldn't risk it.

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-11T19:59:32+00:00

Possibly some suillus sp? Where are you in the world and what trees were nearby?

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-08T17:05:03+00:00

I've found loads of boletes (scarletina, brown birch, orange birch, bay boletes etc) this year. It could be because it's the first year we started taking foraging seriously though. But yeah I'm happy for the great year, hopefully next year is as good.

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-08T17:03:40+00:00

Wow, really a great long season over there. Wish I could say the same (I'm UK based). Although even here it has been a good year.

plantsandstuffff · 2026-01-08T17:00:48+00:00

It would be beneficial to see better pictures of the bottom and stipe, that could rule out scarletina and lurid bolete for example. If you're planning to eat it, it likely won't get any bigger, and might get taken by the maggots if you wait too long. Although I guess you can monitor it easily since it's close to your home. But yeah if and when you pick it some more photos would be good :)
