Great post! No reishi around here. I've tried to grow them with little success. Better luck with oysters and chicken of the woods. I look forward to checking out your other pictures!

I have some interesting-ish pictures of oysters that I collected on the other side of the same yard...The mushrooms themselves are less interesting than the spore prints I was able to take. I'll try to post them soon. Thanks for reading :)
Awesome! What are you doing with the spore prints? Have you tried making agar plate cultures? It's been too dry this year here in Michigan, but last year I had Oysters all over my back yard, I was lucky enough to bring a few stumps back from Up North and they were LOADED with mycelium! Only dead mans fingers, inky-caps and a few wood ears. I'll check to see if you've posted any more pics and I look forward to keeping up with your mycological adventures.
They're sandwiched between plates of glass until I find a new home to spawn them. Haven't decided what tech to use...honestly have enough to try a couple, but I'm probably start with the good ol' PF tek. I've grown mushrooms from spawn plugs I've ordered before, and I've heard that oysters are pretty easy from spores, so maybe I'll have some luck. I'll post pics soon! Thanks for reading. Following :)
