Backyard Mushrooms
Anyway, a little sprinkle last night and some cool 60 degree weather brought us about what looks like a 1/2 pound of Oyster mushrooms. If you look closely you'll see another one about to poke its head out of the bark.
I poured some spored oil on this stump about a year and a half ago.
These suckers are as big as the palm of my hand.

Bradford Pear Stumps
David, standing by some of the bradford pear stumps we innoculated today.
We used dowels innoculated with an Oyster strain obtained from Omon at NC A&T
there is David kneeling in the background.The whiteness of the stumps is old parafin wax left over from making candles.
This is the only stump that was innoculated with a Shiitake strain as it was isolated away from the other stumps.

Shiitake Harvest
Wow, so we had a lot of rain last weekend. These logs are about 2 years old, and they are starting to produce nicely. I would say I just picked about 3-4 pounds of mushrooms last night, and I have more to that were not quite ready. Just last month I harvested about 2 pounds.

Stump Innoculation
This is a stump Alex and I found, and inoculated it with Hericium abietis: The Conifer Coral Mushroom
-grows exclusively on conifers and is very similar in appearance to Hericium erinaceus. Native to western North America, the Conifer Coral Mushroom has a delicate and pleasant flavor.
Oysters in the Park
It has been way to long since my last post. These are beautiful oysters we (me and Alex) found at one of my favorite spots. It was hot and muggy day, and the mushrooms were just beginning to be devoured by some unwelcome guests.
