Fruiting #chestnutmushrooms #enoki and #kingoystermushroom from bags of rice - this is the technique for top-fruiting mushrooms (including healing 🍄). See my last video for side fruited like #blueoystermushrooms and #lionsmane 1) Tear off tops of colonised bags of rice (see previous reels on how to inoculate and colonise) 2) Fill with water and soak for 2 hours 3) Drain and massage the tops of the bags to flatten them out. 4) Add a small layer of mushroom substrate or ‘soil’. Check out previous reels on how to make this. 5) put into fruiting conditions. Stay tuned to see how it goes! Thanks @mycopunks for the lively liquid cultures! #homegrownmushrooms #easygrow #mushrooms🍄

Loving this is epic t-shirt from @mycopunks 😄 These guys are my go-to for mushroom cultivation equipment and I always enjoy my interactions with them! The mycology industry is growing fast in the UK and companies like this are important to maintain a sense of connection to these organisms, rather than just allowing it to become like any other industry. I've also now got more free stickers than I know what to do with 😂😂 🍄

Growing #🍄 on microwaveable rice. Today I’m massaging my #unclebens rice packets inoculated with mycelium from #blueoystermushrooms #kingoystermushroom #chestnutmushrooms #lionsmanemushroom and #enokimushroom . Thanks @mycopunks for the banging liquid cultures! Keep watching to find out how you can do this at home! #growyourownfood #mushrooms #mushroommagic

🦁🍔 Lion’s Mane Mushroom Burger 🍔🦁 •• This burger takes around three months to make from start to finish and really is quite delicious. If you fancy having a go yourself, I’ll tell you how I made it 🦁🍔 •• On the 10th Feb, I took a syringe containing a liquid culture of Lion’s Mane Mycelium, and injected it into a bag of sterilised Rye Grains 💉🍄‍🟫 •• After about five weeks, the mycelium had munched its way through the rye grains and was starting to fruit in the bag, so transferred it to a new bag containing a substrate made from a mix of oak and bran. This was the 16th March 🍄🍄‍🟫 •• About a week later I pushed out all of the air and taped down the sides. I made some holes in the bag for fresh air exchange and waited for the mushrooms to grow from them. And that they did. Then I went on holiday. (This step is nice but not a required stage in the mycological process) 🏖️🦁 •• Once the lion cubs were back home, I harvested them as they were changing colour from snow white to a yellowish hue. I put them in a pan with a burger patty and ate them. They were good. Okay bye 🍔🍄‍🟫 •• #MycologicalDelight #FungiCulinaryAdventure #LionsManeCuisine #MushroomMyceliumMagic #GourmetMushroomExperience #FungalFeast #MyceliumMastery #LionsManeHarvest #MushroomGourmetJourney #CulinaryMycology #MyceliumMagic #LionsManeCookingAdventure #FungiFoodExperience #MushroomCulinaryMagic #MycologicalFeast #LionsManeMyceliumAdventure #FungalCuisine #MushroomHarvestDelight #MyceliumCulinaryJourney #LionsManeGourmetExperience #FungiCookingAdventure #MushroomMyceliumMagic #CulinaryFungiExperience #LionsManeEdibleAdventure #MycologicalGastronomy

✨🌍🌱 Today, on Earth Day, let’s give special thanks for the abundance of tools, medicines and nourishment nature gifts us. Obviously it’s Earth Day everyday …and one of the ways we can honour her is by passing on her wisdom✨ ✨Flashback to @darren_le_baron and myself hosting William @mycosymbiote at our spring equinox ‘Mycology Odyssey’ event last month. Grateful for all the sponsors and for those of you who joined us! 🌱🍄‍🟫💚 #EarthDay #PoweredByNature

Found a yellow morel, Morchella esculenta. Boiled up some water and recycled the Mycopunks cardboard packaging. Now 4 weeks later there's teenie, weenie pins a popping! Yee har ☺️ EDIT* teenie weenie mushlings were a coprinelis inkcap tub nabber species. Phooey but not the end. Bodget Project Morel part 2 is still happening.

We're a pair of health enthusiasts and we'll be growing health-promoting fungi starting in the tent behind us. This is the beginning of our urban farm, phase one will be Lions Mane and Grey Oyster mushrooms. Feel free to get in touch, our first crops will be harvested in May 2024. 😍😍😍😍🍄🍄🍄😍😍😍🍄🍄🍄😍😍😍😍
