I don't know how I feel about this. Not even 20 minutes after that last saga, I found...

The pot with the black currants is currently pinning wine caps. I've really got to make me some friends who want to eat these things.

The chestnut mushroom bucket is almost ready to produce fruit, and two more sets of winecaps are growing in.

I went to check the pots where I have wine cap mycelium growing, and sure enough the raspberry pot has a juvenile mushling!

It is a lot paler in colour because it doesn't get a lot of sun behind the thick mass of raspberry leaves. So, I just rotated the pot by 90°.

(I had made a beautiful raspberry topiary at the start of the season after I pruned everything back harshly, but it is right back to growing wild. There's a lot of new canes coming up, which will be great for next year.)

In my other raspberry pot I have placed blewits.

I also have wine cap mycelium in with my currants, but that doesn't seem to be fruiting.

That's probably because the raspberry pot substrate has been disturbed by the new cane growth, while the new currant growth is all on old stem stock. I did put a new strawberry plant in with the currants yesterday, so perhaps that will also provoke pinning in that pot.

SQUEEEEEEEE!!!

There are TWO clusters of winecaps (stropharia rugosoannulata) pinning!

If these monstrous babies can be called pins. That's my thumb for reference.

These are one of the easiest mushrooms to grow, and also one of my favourites. They have an asparagus-like quality to them, in addition to being humongous and fairly prolific. I poked the mycelium a few days ago, something that I find prompts fruiting.
