Now is the time to think about spring mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms inoculated now will usually flush next spring.  Many types of outdoor kits will be better established if started now.

Does anyone know what it is?

Clue #1 :  Grows on the ground

Clue #2: A little puff of white dust (spores) that looks like smoke comes out when disturbed.

Sounds like the whole show is on mushrooms. She will probably be answering fungus questions!

Now all we need is some warmth. I am hoping the spring mushrooms will not forget to flush! Has anyone else had any luck?

Finally the weather has smiled on us. This long cool spring might make for a great season, and hopefully our patience will pay off. All that the rain promises….

Stay tuned for updates on the picking season!

In Paul Stamets book “Mycelium Running”, he talks about the difference exposure to sunlight can have on the amount of vitamin D available. The level of vitamin D in shiitake mushrooms went from 110 IU  to 21,400 IU per 100g by drying outside in the sunlight, remarkable differences were found when they were placed gills up to dry in the sun. Mushrooms continue to fascinate me and can indeed help us heal!
