Nice look at that Trichia. I agree the first one is some kinda Xylaria but i'm not very familiar with the smaller species

Mica caps have woken back up all week. I haven’t had a chance to get a picture, but mushrooms are something I love to see during rough times

I was told to post this here, it's a stump in my yard that has become encrusted with lichen and I really like the look of it. I could get the stump uprooted but I think I'll leave it like this at least for now.

Morchella punctipes, half free morel  Verpa conica, ‘conic morel’ I guess idk if it actually has a common name

It’s been dry this April and I’ve not been out much. I’ve seen a couple Verpa bohemica:  The single morel I’ve seen so far:  Some kinda inky cap?

Hooplah posted:wow, i've never heard of that species. If I saw it in the wild I'd assume it's some kind of smooth gyromitra. cool! right? I pegged them as looking very similar to half free morels (Morchella punctipes) but the smooth cap and crispy crumbly texture is hella weird. If I didn’t know about genus Verpa I’d have gone to Gyromitra too. Crocobile posted:Some kinda inky cap? Mica cap or close relative would be my guess, that color plus the ‘mica’ flakes on the cap are what lead me to that. They do deliquesce though, so you’re on the right track thinking inky caps (another genus in the same family) Found my first proper morel  Morchella section morchella*  *M. diminutiva & M. americana are basically indistinguishable at this size, and there are probably other species in that section that are possible. It’s a complex genus with a lot of variability at the naked-eye scale. And a really nice example of mayapple rust, Allodus podophylli  Someone in a cicada brood area go find us a specimen of the rear end eating sexually transmitted cicada fungus! the yeti fucked around with this message at 15:23 on May 4, 2024 |

Found some Suillus the other day, which led me to the Mushroom Expert page on the genus to figure out what they were, since they were clustered and lacked a ring like slippery jacks. I learned they have been shown to be host-specific, really incredible stuff. Mushrooms rule. I need to head back out to the hike and identify the pine they were on.

Common names are funny. Are your slippery jacks not in Suillus? That's what I call any Suillus, even the dry ones. Also, any of you people bother eating them?

 Found a huge patch of Stropharia rugosoannulata, the common winecap. I would have picked them but these were the only three that weren't dessicated or trampled. These guys were textbook examples with the red cap and wheelspoke veil over the immature gills. I moved into a new house a few months ago and will try to encourage some mushrooms to grow there. Stropharia is one of them, they seem easy to inocculate into mulch beds. Agaricus campestris or arvensis would probably be easy too, they grow in grass clippings. They'd like it if I mulched my lawn when I mowed it. I was thinking of essentially taking a huge spore print then mixing the spores with water and squirting it where I want the mushrooms to grow with a spray bottle. Also, if I'm lucky, maybe some morels will grow with all the fruit trees I'm planting. And the front yard has a bunch of dead, buried roots buried shallow, which is what Coprinus comatus likes. Maybe next year I'll have a shitload of homegrown mushrooms to post, wish me luck! If anyone has some pointers I'm all ears.

I think the big thing is having wood chips they like and keeping the moisture up. I’ve read that wine caps prefer hardwood chips but I’ve seen them grow in all kinds of woody landscaping material. A note about trying to cultivate Agaricus species— since there are plenty of wild species and that genus is notorious for lookalikes make sure you don’t slip on your IDs even though you’re growing in your own yard. (This generally holds true for all outdoor shroom cultivation but most of the outdoor species like wine caps and shitake are pretty distinctive) As far as outdoor inoculation, I’m not sure if there’s consensus on how to do it in a lawn or field setting. I would suspect that aerating the area or at least mowing it short would give spores the best chance to get into the dirt and stay moist enough. I would also want to know if you could ‘start’ a spore print on agar or a liquid media to get the growing started and then homogenize that and spray it (analogous to making a yeast starter if we have beer brewing nerds around ) the yeti fucked around with this message at 16:10 on May 16, 2024 |

I should be good on the agaricus ID. There's a couple spots where they grow every year that I visit and pick. They are delicious and definitely 100% Agaricus campestris. I don't think I'll have any problems with the wood chips either. The stropharia seem to love the mulch my company uses and I can get as much of the exact same type as I want. Watering will be easy too, I've got rain barrels set up.

I tossed mushroom caps under two different trees in my yard and sprayed with the hose and successfully inoculated both. Different though, because I don’t eat them. I just love lots of beautiful big mushrooms being in my yard. When I go out after a rain I often smell them before I see them
