Look what we found! Shaggy Mane
Look what we found in the garden! Very excited. We have added this species to our "local Alberta" culture bank! It might take a couple of years to fully test it. Coprinus comatus here we come!
Outdoor versus indoor
The mushrooms grown outside are darker and aren't as fragile as the mushrooms we grow in the greenhouse. It's fun to see the differences! These are blue oysters.
Turkey Tail Stacks
Crazy! We inoculated these stacks more than 3 years ago. They did nothing and we thought they were dead. Shock of all shocks, they started growing Turkey Tails this summer! Trametes versicolor. We got so much rain and obviously these stacks liked...

Fungi Greenhouse – Harvest
Lots of mushrooms growing in the fungi greenhouse! Lion's Mane, Blue Oyster, Yellow Oyster, Garden Oyster and Pearl Oyster! The greenhouse works so well in the summer.
Parcels being mailed out
Whole bunch of parcels ready to be mailed out! If we ever expand the "mushroom" buildings, we really need to build a space just to put together parcels... Right now, it takes us way too long! We also try really hard to reuse boxes and packing materials...
Wine Cap – made it through winter
We added hardwood wood chips to this space between garden beds last year. We got a few Wine Cap (King Stropharia/Stropharia rugoso-annulata) in the fall.We checked on the area last week (snow is gone now!) and it's solid mycelium. You could probably...
