🍗Here’s a mushroom known for its meaty flavor, the chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus)! 🍄In addition to chicken, its flavor has been likened to crab and lobster meat, if prepared correctly. The parasitic fungus has a wide range throughout parts of North America and Europe, where it grows in clumps at the base of hardwood trees, causing the trees to decay over time. Because of its edibility, it’s popular among foragers. The mushroom can reach large sizes: a 100-pound- (45-kilogram-) specimen was found in the United Kingdom in 1990!

I've been pretty busy this morning. Yesterday, I sterilized my agars and poured them into plates and test tubes. I also prepped my spawn jars for sterilization.
This morning, I sterilized the jars and inoculated the plates and tubes with cultures.
Here are the spawn jars after pulling them from the PC:

Here are the plates I inoculated:

And here are the tubes I inoculated:

A few notes about the agar, tubes, and where the cultures came from...the agar recipes that I used for this test were PDA, MECA, and DFA. I filled six tubes and six plates with each recipe.
The tubes are filled >75% full of agar and a bamboo skewer cut to the length of the tube was inserted in each tube.
I inoculated the tubes and plates with five different cultures (so obviously there would be two species that were inoculated twice). One of the cultures (blue oyster) came from one of the spawn jars from X01, and the other cultures came from spawn that I placed into cold storage months ago. These were oysters as well. They were pathfinder, pink, golden, and pearl.
The blue oyster from the new spawn was very clean, fluffy, and full, a very pleasing sight with no distinguishable scent.. The same was true for the pearl, golden, and pathfinder oysters from cold storage. The interesting culture was the pink oyster from cold storage. When I opened it up, I was happy to find the mycelium very clean and pearly white. However, I was greeted with a very peculiar smell. The pink oyster spawn gave off a very sweet alcoholic smell. Very odd. It makes me wonder if maybe the grain fermented over time, but I can't be entirely sure. I'll keep a note of this oddity just in case something happens to the culture as it grows out in each stage.
Also, apologies for the picture quality. I'm not much of a picture guy, so...

Quick update on our super low tech mushroom propagation setup. I got lucky with the lions mane. They actually started pushing out of the inoculation hole and started to fruit from the grain spawn bags. Luckily didn’t get any contamination. After pasteurizing the wood shavings, I layered them with grain spawn in these small plastic bins. Sealed the tops with plastic wrap and used the air vents from the grain bags to allow air exchange. I also added some spawn to the leaf litter underneath the bamboo and some to the wooden logs that are feeding our trees. I have no idea what the outcome will be but keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well. I expressed my concerns to one of my neighbors and her response was that there is no way it will go wrong because I’m doing everything with good intentions. I really appreciated that perspective her belief in positivity ❤️ Creating more wood shavings today for the maitake and chicken of the woods although I’d like to wait another week to see if these first bins take off.

February 2024. Dear Mycophile…I’m not far off completing my new album Mushroom Music by Earth Tree Healing. This began as trying mushroom supplements and an ask for mushroom music for TikTok videos. After a short break from composing in mid 2023. The flow state arrived again. During the dark winter months and dark times. I’ve surprised myself at how much I’ve enjoyed composing these. The music is…

What a magical time to walk in the woods! The leaves 🍁 are changing on the trees. Finally with all the rain and cooler temps the whole fungi kingdom has come alive 🍄These pics were taken on a recent walk with a friend. I’m so excited to be hosting a forage walk tomorrow. Look for details in my profile. Pictured here are chicken of the woods (laetiporous cincinnatus) aborted and non aborted entolomas, ink caps, Virginia creeper, and maitake 😀 #maitake #chickenofthewoods #abortedentoloma #inkcaps #wildmushrooms #mycelium #mycelialnetwork #connection #natureconnection #wildforaging #wildforaged #medicinalmushrooms #foragewalkct #foragect #gaiacentrichealing #gaiacentricliving #chiforhealing (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjeaTo4DHy1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Autumn is coming quickly. The path through the woods is littered with fallen leaves already. Also, it’s a good year for chicken in the woods as I’ve found another spot! 🍄 🍁 🍂 . . . #bordercolliesofinstagram #autumniscoming #autumnishere #woodlandwalk #5kmwalk #lincolnshire #chickenofthewoods #fungiseason (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiCqLosg1SW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“They look like #flowers.” "I think it’s a chicken mushroom or something similar. A chicken fungus. Wait, I’ll find out.” "Do you think it’s edible?” A few minutes pass whilst my partner checks on her phone. “I knew it. It’s a #chickenofthewoods.” “Interesting. Maybe the denizens of #HampsteadHeath are trying to tell us something about "chickenshops,” I quip. "Edible. But as long as it doesn’t grow on a yew tree. The tree is poisonous and the #fungus absorbs its toxins." “Fancy a ‘#chickenstew’ tonight?” “Nah. We still have leftovers from last night.” #Cuban #Immigrant #Londoner https://www.austinmacauley.com/book/cuban-immigrant-and-londoner #London #Londres #Londinense #cycling #cyclinglife #bicyclelife #bicycles #visitbritain #visitengland #visitlondon #strava #stravaphotos #stravacycling #streetphotography #urbanlandscape #photography #VSCO (at Hampstead Heath) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBEapgskuc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chicken of the wood sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Frames not included in price. Free shipping on artwork to UK destinations.

Well, it seems my COTW has stalled. This was a HWFP/grass mix spawn jar, so I'm thinking the moisture content is off because of the grass. I have a few pearl oyster jars with the same mix that have also stalled. I might use them in their own separate subs, just in case there's any contamination brewing in them. As for this COTW, I might need to go for a 100% WBS spawn, since I'm able to dial in the moisture content pretty well on those. I don't know if this particular jar will do anything else. It may go into a HWFP sub, just for shits and giggles. If something happens, awesome! If not, oh well. It's all a part of the process. I love being able to experiment.

Finally got around to inoculating these grains with 🍄 spores. I did have to create my own still air box from scrap material but it seems to have done the trick. We already have white, brown and pink oysters fruiting and just got the king oysters, maitake, chicken of the woods and lion’s mane started on some grain as well as two special varieties found locally (P.Cubensis and P.Cyanescens) that I took spore prints and set them to grow on a Petri dish with agar. Can’t say I wasn’t intimidated to get this started but I must say that it’s not as difficult to learn as I once thought. Give it a shot, you can literally have a lifetime of edible and medicinal mushrooms for free! #growninhaiti #mycology #mushroom #fungi #edible #medicinal #magic #haiti #ayiti #ostermushroom #lionsmane #chickenofthewoods #kingoyster https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDxqLouVGb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
