Local Mushrooms
I am very excited that we have a local mushroom grower. They have been at a farmers market in the larger community closest to me. So far I have tried: Chestnuts, Shitakes, King Trumpets, Lion's Mane and several types of Oyster shrooms including Pink, Yellow, White, Blue and Black Pearl Kings. They are all soooo good. I'll…

Forest Farming
I came acrossed a book I've not seen before while at the library the other day. It really caught my eye and attention considering that a good portion of my land is forested. In fact our property hasn't had anything done much with it the last 15 years aside been being overwhelmed by kudzu vines, some of them as wide around…

New Additions to My Mushroom Guides
I added a couple more books to my field guide collection. Foraging is a great way to add new and interesting foods to your diet. But be safe, especially with mushrooms! Mushrooming Without Fear by Alexander Schwab was 14.95. A Guide to Missouri's Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms is free to MO residents through the Missouri…

Question: growing my own mushrooms
I would very much like to grow my own mushrooms. What? Another chore??? you might be thinking. Here's the thing, I have looked on my fav site to buy healthful things, and they are perpetutally out of all forms of shrooms as a supplement. So after reading one of the posts some minutes ago it dawned on me that I should have…

Chaga mushroom
During my hikes in the ancient forest of La Gomera I think I found another rare medicinal plant - the Chaga mushroom. It looks like one, doesn’t it? It was too high to collect any of it, but I will keep my eyes open for another one. Has anyone collected it in nature? What do you do with it?

Woohoo, Corn Smut!!!!!!!!
I just found a few ears colonized by the "Mexican truffle"! It is heirloom sweet corn, so even raw, the Huitacoche fungus tastes like super rich, earthy, sweet corn. I'm going to put it on a Margarita Pizza with heirloom tomatoes and home grown basil... If I find anymore I'll make Cream of Corn Smut soup and maybe some…

Turkey Tail Mushrooms
I know we have turkey tail mushrooms in out area and I am sure I have some on the land but until I harvest a mushroom (usually with someone who has hunted mushrooms for years) I do not feel comfortable harvesting them.

This is a magic mushroom and taxonomy is debated, but I think it's Mycena arcangeliana!!!
This past year right before the Thanksgiving holiday, my well was running bone dry. As much as I love everything in life, the past year had taken a tremendous toll in terms of depleting some core energies. My batteries wouldn't recharge, even with my cannabis smoothie shake. This always usually does the trick. At this…

mushrooms
I have not been on many mushroom foraging trips manly because I do not feel comfortable in identifying mushrooms. I harvest what I call puff balls and that is about it. My nephew has a friend who has harvested mushrooms for over 20 years and he plans on taking us out and helping us harvest once our temperatures improve and…

looking for ideas for "found" space
My son cleaned out the area under our 20'x20' or so addition. As a result, I now have a 20'x20' area to "play" with. I will try to describe it adequately and look forward to any ideas you may come up with for its use, particularly for food production. Most of the north side of the area backs up to the garage, so it's…

Has anyone had success in growing Morels?
I have hunted morels in central Indiana for 50+ years with moderate success, mostly depending on weather (wet cold spring, too dry, etc). A few years back, I dropped $50 on morel spawn to try to start my own little patch, with the knowledge that it would take a year before I might see any. Never did see any. Has anyone had…
