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!

24/08/2024

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!

13/08/2024

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

06/08/2024

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

25/07/2024

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?

18/07/2024

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.

11/07/2024

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! 🍄

There may be a new cooking video coming very soon 👀

04/06/2024

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.

It's Friday so that means it's...new cooking and recipe time! For when you're feeling a little indulgent but don't want to order takeaway, try out our take on General Tso's chicken using oyster mushrooms! Unbelievably delicious, tangy, sweet and spicy. Ingredients: For the mushrooms Oyster Mushrooms Salt Msg Black Pepper Garlic powder Potato starch or cornflour Oil or egg to coat the mushrooms Sauce Vegetable oil Grated ginger Grated garlic A pinch of salt A pinch of msg Ketchup Hoisin sauce Light soy Dark soy Rice wine vinegar 2 tbsp sugar Seaeame oil A cup of water Directions: Place mushrooms in large bowl and coat with all the dry ingredients. Once coated, place the mushrooms back in the bowl and coat again with more cornflour or potato starch. Deep fry the mushroomsuntil crispy. Take out of the pan, wait for the mushrooms to cool down (about 20mins) then fry again to get a lovely super crispy mushroom. Put aside for now. In the frying pan, add the minced garlic and ginger and let that fry for a few seconds. Then add the ketchup, hoisin, light soy, dark soy, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, salt, msg, sugar and a cup of water. Cook the sauce mixture until it turns nice and thick, then throw in the mushrooms and give them a really good mix. Serve with a bowl of rice and top with chilli flakes, seame seeds and spring onion. Would you eat this? Enjoy! #cooking #veganfood #mushrooms #stirfry #fantasticfungi #generaltsochicken #urbanfarming

It's market day at @londonfarmersmarkets . Come and join us! We're here until 2pm, The Engine Rooms, East Finchley #londonfarmersmarket #mushrooms

We did some cooking! This Lion's Mane steak is juicy, delicious, makes a great meat alternative and feeds your mind. Recepie below 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Ingredients Lions Mane (about 400g) Vegan butter(2 tbsp) BBQ sauce (1 tbsp) Rosemary (for garnish) Seasoning mix: 1tbsp sage 1tbsp garlic powder 1tbsp onion powder 1tbsp paprika 1tsp salt Mix all ingredients in a bowl then set aside Heat up your pan and then coat with olive oil. Place the lion's mane in the pan and wait for a couple of minutes, until it starts sizzling. Now, you want to grab something you can press the mushroom down with. Another pan or a pan lid is good for this. Slowly pressing the mushroom down, keep pressing until you see water start to come out. Keep pressing, flipping it over every 3 minutes or so. Add your seasoning mix to the pan, as well as the butter, making sure to coat both sides. Add the BBQ sauce and stir around the pan with the butter until you see a sauce develop. Give it a couple of good presses on both sides, basting the sauce over the mushroom. Throw it in the oven for 10 minutes on 200c, take it out, garnish with rosemary and serve with sides of your choice.
