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.

It warmed up enough to fool the #mushroom logs.

This is how mushroom logs come to be.

Go ahead and ask me anything about my mushroom collection. 😔

This will serve as both a timeline cleanse and fodder for my stalkers who love mushrooms.

For #fungifriday I’m sharing my lucky find of a Wrinkled Peach #MushroomCrew (Rhodotus palmatus). These are on the Global #Fungi Red List and considered an #endangered species across much of Europe. #mycology #shrooms #shroomage #nerd #spod #geek #mushlove
