It's been quiet in the grow room recently due to some issues, however the Lion's Mane has decided to come and say hello 🤗🦁

⚫👑 Now that it's colder, I've been experimenting with mushrooms that prefer the cooler weather. Here's the Black Pearl King Oyster, a hybrid cross of a Japanese and European oyster mushroom. You'll find this guy having giant caps with thick stems 🍄

First batch of my super aggro blue oyster is ready for transfer! Can't wait to get this into more grain bags. Assuming it will fruit well, this will be the genetic I'll be using for future grow kits.

Today I am batch making grain spawn. What grain do you like to use? I'm using red dari at the moment. The small grain size means hundreds of individual inoculation points!

Found some cool dudes in the garden!
1&2: Golden Fairy Club (Clavulinopsis laeticolor). There were loads of these little cool yellow guys all around. They tend to grow in clusters, and have singular thin bodies. Inedible, but pretty magical ✨
3&4: I think these two are the Glistening InkCap, please correct me on this one if I'm wrong!! (Coprinellus micaceus). Often found growing near tree stumps or buried wood. Edible before the gills turn black and inky.

Just a guy and his 1.5kg Mane...swipe for a surprise 🫢

Just look at how majestic this Coral Tooth mushroom is! Almost looks like a clump of icicles or something.

Here's some blue oysters looking pretty blue! When the temperature drops, the cooler weather retains the blue colour. 💙

Happy mycelium Monday 🤗 Here's some Pioppino on agar looking 🤌🏼

So after a week away in Spain, we are sooo back! I was slightly terrified I was going to come back to an entire room of contamination and dead old mushrooms, but instead, I had a load of healthy colonised bags 😎 the tent is now rammed with a load of blue oysters, black pearl and lions mane 🍄

05/09/2024

Last harvest before I'm off to Spain for a week! Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me on this lil mushroom journey so far, whether it's just sharing a post or trying the mushrooms or coming down to the market, it really is appreciated so much and means the world to me🖤🍄

I can't believe I've been doing this for like half a year already, super excited to see what the future holds! ✌🏼

Just some Pioppino mycelium being cool and beautiful🍄

01/09/2024

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 🤔

27/08/2024

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

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.

I find laying out the grains after their soak and simmer so incredibly satisfying. After they've been left to dry, they'll be thrown into some bags and then into the pressure cooker for sterilising! Here's some mycology asmr 🔉🍄 #mycologysociety #fantasticfungi #asmrsounds #diy #mushrooms

One of the most important but less fun jobs in mushroom farming is the deep clean. So vital in order to keep down contamination and mold, but oh so boring 😅 #mushrooms #mycology

It's market day!

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.
