Jurassic Coast Mushrooms 🦖🍄

@gastronaikraphy stumbled upon this fresh chook, sitting up high, in an old Oak, in the New Forest ..fast forward 24hrs and now we've transferred a few small sterile biopsies, infront of the flowhood. Hopefully within the coming days, we'll see some mycelial activity extending out, from these pieces of Laetiporus tissue 🍄🫶 @thirteenrestaurant looking forward to seeing chicken on the menu sometime soon! 🙏 #thirteenrestaurant #cotw #clone #wildmushrooms #newforest #summerchicken #ifeellikechickentonight #laetiporus #jurassiccoastmushrooms

Winecap grain spawn, almost fully colonised! This bag of grain spawn is going to be put to sawdust shortly and will be left to colonise, further. Later in the year, we plan to work with @careyssecretgarden and @sigorilla to bring the idea of a mushroom garden, within their secret walled garden, to life! We're picturing a seating area with plugged logs, woodchipped pathways inoculated with Osyters and Winecaps. Decaying wood, producing medicinal mushrooms such as turkey tails and gourmets such as Shiitake and Pioppino. May even be able to plug some logs with our local Coral Tooth strain and get some new colonise established within Dorset 🍄🫶 We may even be offering some of our cultures and spores, so please keep your peepers peeled for more info on this exciting little project 🏵🌲🍄🍄‍🟫🍄🍄‍🟫🌲🏵 #secretgarden #careys #jurassiccoastmushrooms #mushroomgarden #walledgarden #mushrooms #woodchip #logs #gourmetmushrooms #medicinalmushrooms #growmore #dorset

The expansion of the Liquid Culture of Cyclocybe Aegerita from @jurassiccoastmushrooms is progressing well - and I've just had this at room temperature Gotta love that mycelial floof, with clear amber honey broth around it! ✌️ #ukfungi #fungi #funginfluencer #funginfluence #fungiphile #fungiphotography #mushroom #mushrooms #mushroomsofinstagram #mycelium #mycophile #homelab #liquidculture #jurassiccoastmushrooms #cyclocybeaegerita #pioppinomushrooms

Thicc. Quality cultures coming from the @jurassiccoastmushrooms lab 🫡 This is another run of our native Pioppino, that we did a little giveaway on last month. Initial feedback from growers.."it's colonising super fast!" 🏃‍♂️ We've also drawn up batches of Chicken of the Woods, Lionsmane*, Shimeji and Oyster mushroom. Keep your peepers peeled for another giveaway, later this week 🍄🫶 *LM is a commercial strain, we're working on acquiring a wild strain 🤌 #liquidculture #dorset #mycopunks #bdplastics #jurassiccoastmushrooms #mycelium #mushrooms #lab #saveourspecies #fungilove #pioppino

The first 80 syringes of liquid mycelium, are drawn up! The new and improved jar lids, made a huge difference..enabling me to make up batches of 20 of each species in just under 15minutes a strain..zero faff and not a single needle wasted and a fraction of the time 🙏 It feels good to get these all buttoned up.. A huge amount of time and effort has gone into these liquid cultures. From their initial transfer, then another transfer, then into the liquid broth, nurturing everyday, stiring and checking for zero signs of contam. It's been a ride 🤠 Just labels to print and then these will be ready to go out into the big world and dine on some plump, hydrated grains 🫡 #cotw #oyster #shimeji #pioppino #liquidculture #jurassiccoastmushrooms #mushymentor #native #brownseaisland #allthingsfungi #dorset #saveourspecies #mycelium #fungilove

Another batch of liquid culture lids, is underway 🤙 A few are spoken for, some are for stock, if there's anything you like the look of, slide into our DM's 🍄🫶 #liquidculture #masonjar #microppose #jurassiccoastmushrooms #dorset #inprogress

It's a Good Day..When the postie delivers not 1, but 2 native Hericiums to the 🍄‍🟫lab!..along with a couple hundred BD Plastics syringes and a complimentary bottle of @tubbytoms 👊 Thanks @mycopunks 🫶🍄🏴‍☠️ #hericiumcoralloides #hericiumcirrhatum #hericium #mycopunks #jurassiccoastmushrooms #dorset #hereford #saveourspecies #native #lab #legendary

Shout out to @seb_urbanforage at the Brighton Micro farm and @forageurban for this little beauty! A Summer Truffle landed on our doorstep, from sunny Sussex! Within no time it was dissected and several small sterile biopsies where transfered to agar. Now the plates are sitting in the incubator, all we can do is wait...⏳️ We'll check up on them every 24-48hrs to see what we're incubating in there..hopefully it's native Tuber Aestivum! 🍄🫶 #truffles #Sussex #summertruffle #jurassiccoastmushrooms #seb #forageurban #dorset #agar #lab #lablove #fungilove

Journey through history with magic mushrooms! 🍄 Magic mushrooms have a rich and fascinating history, woven into the fabric of our ancient cultures and traditions. Their role in ceremonial use and folklore twangs a significant chord in human history: Ancient Rituals: Indigenous peoples across the globe, from the Aztecs in Mesoamerica to Siberian shamans, have used magic mushrooms for spiritual ceremonies and healing rituals. Sacred Symbols: Often referred to as "teonanácatl" by the Aztecs, meaning "flesh of the gods," these mushrooms were believed to connect humans with the divine. Cultural Artifacts: Cave paintings and artifacts from prehistoric times depict mushrooms, indicating their long-standing importance in human history. Magic mushrooms have transcended time, continuing to be a source of curiosity, healing, and spiritual exploration. 🌍💫 Have you learned about any fascinating uses of magic mushrooms in history? Share your knowledge and thoughts in the comments🍄💬🙏 As of 2005 and the ammendment of the 1971 misuse of drugs act, mushrooms containing psilocin or 'magic mushrooms' were reclassified as Class A drugs. Meaning since 2005 it's been illegal to import, export, produce, supply or possess magic mushrooms in any form... It is however, completely legal to possess the spores of magic mushrooms, simply because they don't contain psilocin! Spores can be purchased legally for the purpose of being viewed under a microscope🤓..they can also be stored until such time that magic mushrooms may be made legal again! 😅 #magicmushrooms #history #jurassiccoastmushrooms #magic #fungifacts #spores #microscopy #dorset

Scorcher today! 🥵.. Had the fogger working over time, to try and maintain the conditions required to grow mushrooms..so here we are, patiently waiting for the @uptoncountrypark Coral Tooth to start fruiting 🙏 We've also sent a plate to our friends at the other end of the island @marvellousmushrooms to have a wee play 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We plan on expanding this culture and making it available, to 🫵 as liquid mycelium..the trial fruiting body went down a treat on the small bag, so it's an exciting prospect to think others may have the pleasure of growing the same 🍄 ..and looks can be deceiving because the seemingly insignificant all-in-one bag from @mycopunks produced an impressive 400g fruit! It's gone back into fruit again, so will be interesting to see what's the total yield of gourmets, from one of these bags 🤙 #coraltooth #hericium #notlionsmane #marvellousmushrooms #mycopunks #jurassiccoastmushrooms #Dorset #homegrown ##saveourspecies #wildmushrooms
