Hello to my fungi loving friends,
We've had not a lot of rain where I'm at and not a lot of shrooms out and about in the woods. So I'm afraid I missed out on posting for fungifriday:(
Fortunately for the lawn and garden, it has not been so dry in our yard. After finding winecap mushrooms growing in my flower gardens, I've been especially careful to water the wood chips where they reared their lovely heads the first time. Recently, that strategy paid off...a bit anyway.
Not exactly a huge haul, but very exciting and, I thought, postworthy.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great #mushroommonday ;)
Nice they have established their mycelium :-)
I hope so but what I learned when trying to grow them is that one mushroom's mycelium competes against any other species. When you inoculate sawdust or some other growing medium with spore, you have to have a completely sterile environment so no other competing spores can infect the same medium.
Well, the same place that the winecaps have fruited, a bunch of ink caps have been comeing up too. Also, worms apparently love eating the mycelium and of course a garden bed is bound to have a few worms.
So there's no sure bets in this business.😐
True, hopefully the ink caps won't mess them up. Maybe the worms will help spread it around a bit.
