Forest Floor Fungi

See you at the market soon!

Today we are inoculating these bags with the coral tooth from ! Related to lions mane but looks like a massive coral. I think I may even prefer it to lion’s mane 🤔

Tried out the popcorn and I don’t think I’ve seen such fast colonisation before. Was ready to break and shake after day 2, and was fully ready after day 4. Amazing!

Stay tuned to see how these incredible native mushroom cultures from turn out! One is a Branching Oyster,and the other is a Piopino, all native from the UK.

Our mixed oyster mushroom powder is available from the website (link in bio). We are also running a buy one get one free on this if you grab one from the East Finchley Farmers Market this Sunday Really good for enhancing your stocks, soups and stews with delicious hearty mushroom flavour and goodness!

Mixed oyster mushroom boxes are available on our store now! Link in bio.

Chicken of the woods is about to get cloned! I found this one just by my house and couldn’t resist putting it to agar. Let’s see what happens!

Anyone tried using agar with activated charcoal? Supposed to have antibacterial properties, making for cleaner cultures. Either way, looks very cool 🖤

Black pearl king oyster clone growing very nicely on the agar 😎

First time experimenting with clones today. What a fun and interesting process. The next step is to make my own agar plates, but we'll get there eventually. What is your favourite technique for cloning?

It is finally here! This is a laminar flow hood, and it blows out clean, filtered air, so you can work in front of it and lower the risk of contamination considerably. I'll be able to make clones, do transfers and clean inoculations with this. This means I'll be able to produce our own grain spawn too. So many uses!

Time to start hunting for wild mushrooms! I would love to be able to make a culture library of UK mushroom species.

Things have been kinda hectic lately! Im in the process of upgrading the fruiting tent, and an awaiting on a laminar flow hood (finally). This means I'll be able to grow even more lions mane and oysters for you all.

I will be back at the East Finchley this Sunday.

Looking forward to seeing you there! 🍄

I have been experimenting with growing out the Coral Tooth fungus (Hericium coralloides) recently and have been loving the results! It is a very close relative to the lion's mane, but instead takes on this delicate and exquisite coral-like form.

You will find it growing on dead hardwood trees, although incredibly rare in the UK. It has a sponge-like texture and a subtle earthy taste, making it really good for soups and saucey dishes.
