@northspore.bsky.social of course there's more out there but I'm letting them get a little bit bigger..... These are some big beefy bastards! So cool! And as usual I had thought that I had failed and then they showed up, the fungi said we will do things on our own time... #gardengiants2025

Spent mushroom substrate = soil superfood. It’s full of organic matter, boosts moisture retention, and helps gardens thrive.

@northspore.bsky.social I don't even know how many times these pink oysters surprise me, always ahead of schedule, and often in places they're not expected at all... Always is pleasant surprise, 😉😂, of course. I'm very cool to see them, but not sure why they're popping up and not the 👑 stropharia

These mushrooms are known for their unusual effect, but their story began 65 million years ago after the dinosaurs disappeared.
Their key compound may have evolved to fend off ancient grazers like slugs…

@northspore.bsky.social I GOT MY FIRST KING STROPHARIA! Thank you, for all your work to spread the spore and bring the fungi to us! It hadn't rained in like 3 months and it had been too hot... The suspense was driving me crazy and I know you guys know... #growyourownfood #ediblefungi

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!
Another day, another garden haul. I am not upset at all from this next flush of WineCaps! I got my block from @northspore.bsky.social back in April. Going on 3+ months of mushrooms! Highly recommend

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.

I added a broken up mushroom block of WineCaps to my garden in April, come mid June I’ve been doing nothing but picking mushrooms out of my garden. Highly recommend! I got mine from @northspore.bsky.social #fungi #mushroom #growmushroom #garden #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.

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.
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 😄!
