Misting mycelium blocks with rainwater to keep them hydrated

MycoAlliance Research Station, Circle Acres, Austin TX. Spring 2018.

Growing wild at Circle acres

Volunteer group building a hillside berm of spent mycelium blocks for erosion control. These mycelium blocks have already produced fruit and are ready to be recycled. Covered with mulch, the blocks will continue to fruit and provide food for wildlife and organic matter for the soil.

Oyster mushrooms from spawn planted on my patio in containers. For peak flavor, you want to harvest the mushrooms before the caps start to curl and split — the mushroom on the left would taste better than the ones on the right.

Oysters I grew in my kitchen.

Tiny mushrooms in my kitchen. Newly sprouted baby mushrooms are called pins.

With my cat Marie, and some houseplants.
