For your viewing pleasure today I have Pink Oyster Mushrooms in the grow room at the farm. They came out hardcore ruffled but man are they pretty. #Fungi #Oystermushroom #MycelialNetwork
The scientific name of these Pink Oysters is Pleurotus djamor, and These ones just came out a little bit different. But as a purveyor of many things in Fungiculture, Horticulture and Agriculture different is perfectly fine by me. We ended up taking these to market but I had to share their loveliness before they were harvested.

A beautiful quote from Danie Gilbert (Good Shepherd Studios: www.footwork.org.uk/post/innovat...).

When you're doing the urgent, messy and challenging locally-rooted work to transform neighbourhood assets and the power structures that shape them, peer connections are so vital!

“to be able to share and have a moment to pause and acknowledge the change and improvements that have been achieved since Footwork first visited our building genuinely put a lump in my throat. Meeting the 2025 intake at the start of their Footwork programme was so energising and I came away feeling proud and hungry to continue the work” Danie Gilbert, Good Shepherd Studios

Chestnut Mushrooms are something else! They look like they ought be in with the poisonous Agarics but are edible and have a nice chew after cooking. #MycelialNetwork #Fungi #ChestnutMushrooms
The scientific name for Chestnut Mushrooms is Pholiota adiposa and is naturallt found in North America, Europe and Asia. It can be parasitic or saprotrophic and prefers Beech Trees. Chestnut Mushrooms were first described by German naturalist August Batsch in 1786 and put in as a species of Agaricus. Paul Kummer transferred it to the genus Pholiota in 1871. These mushrooms are sort of crunchy when cooked and for folks sensitive to mushrooms or the chitin they are made of large amounts can cause gastrointestinal issues. However that's not a problem I have and these are one of my favorites. See that brown 'stump' in the middle? That's what the mushrooms look like before they expand their cap. When pinning the entire cluster will look something like that.

For a surprise comparison, here we have Italian Oyster Mushrooms. These have been harvested and are sitting in a sterile harvesting box bit notice the scalloped edges to the caps? Italian oysters have a pearl like appearance and are a bit delicate. #MycelialNetwork #Fungi #ItalianOysterMushroom
Italian Oyster Mushrooms are scientifically known as Pleurotus pulmonarius, and that last name can tell you a few things. Pulmonarius is of course botanical Latin and means 'Of the lungs'. It got this name because the fruiting body or cap is often the shape of a lung and this may go back to the discredited medical practice of naming plants and using them medicinally based on what part of the body they resembled. Regardless of this Italian Oysters are more delicate and cook down more than Pearl or Pink Oysters do and this makes them more desirable for inclusions in gravies and sauces.
