Have you ever considered growing mushrooms? Now is the time and I HIGHLY suggest it! It’s super easy and mostly hands off. #fungi #mushroom
I got my starter block from @northspore.bsky.social back in April. I’ve been getting Winecap mushrooms ever since!

Outdoors, Lion’s Mane grows well on logs (beech and hard maple are good choices), especially using the totem method whereby you sandwich sawdust spawn between pieces of wood. These Lion’s Mane totems were made by Paw Paw Ridge Homestead.

Pairing mushrooms with the right substrate, like hardwood for Pioppino or manure blends for dung-loving species, while supplementing with coco coir, soybean hulls, or gypsum can accelerate colonization, improve health, and boost harvests.

Hericium Erinaceus @northspore.bsky.social... accidentally fruited a tiny chunk of a fruiting block from y'all, and (finally) started learning agar tek. I had Wondered if the lion's mane in this jar was still viable after almost a year.... Yes, yes it is 😄!

Rhizomorphic mycelium in blue agar (called 'rapid rhizo' midwestgrowkits.com)
Sample genetics from northspore.com
Hericium Erinaceus (lion's mane fungi)

A small glass jar 🫙 with a cork 🍾 stopper, with hericium Erinaceus (lion's mane mushroom), sample in jar was dormant for around a year, still viable when placed on agar.
