Last night, i suddenly noticed that there were mushrooms growing on the block I made (maybe a month ago?). instead of growing through the holes on the sides, they grew on the top, going unnoticed for me to mist them. The ones that are larger aren't salvageable, but I was instructed to make bigger holes to help with airflow for those still pinning, even chopping the top of the bag off. I seem to have gotten fungus gnats which I don't love, but at least I have experience tackling them from when I had them on my plants (neem oil on the plants, vinegar with paper tube nearby, sticky traps). hopefully I can get a better flush with improved conditions. these are NOT what they should look like.

a small pinning of mushrooms that is narrowly missing the opening on the hole that was already made

an assortment of poorly formed oyster mushrooms with long shriveled stems and tiny blue grey caps that are only a cm or less

do you think birds got the idea from fungi or fungi got the idea from birds?

Several birds nest fungi (genus Cyathus) growing in some black mulch next to some pebbles.

A cluster of what I think are orange mycena mushrooms emerging from a decaying log in a forest. They are small and a vibrant orange color.

A patch of bear corn (Conopholis americana), sometimes called American cancer-root, growing at the base of a large hardwood tree in a forest.

4/ A self could plant itself in another being's seed. A self didn't stay still. It fruited up into the world above as a mushroom, pretending individuality, only to sporulate, seed clouds, fall as rain, and sink back into the underworld of the dirt to weave the world, invisibly, quietly, back together.”

A polypore mushroom on the side of an old fallen tree. It has a broad pancake shaped section and a taller lump in the middle. The edge is light and pale, with a red ring, and most of the top surface is a purplish black, like molasses poured over a breakfast.

Chopped up straw substrate inoculated with oyster mushroom spawn after three weeks, still no pinning yet

A plastic bag with holes damp with straw

About half the bag beginning to turn white from the spawn colonizing the substrate

The spawn is just about fully colonized and yellow orange coloration from the metabolites have tinted the mycelia

Found some Lycogala epidendrum or "wolf's milk". The tinyest slime mould.

A broad old tree trunk has lost its bark. The bare wood is deeply stained with moss, and several pale mushrooms with thin stalks are sprouting out from the surface into the sunshine.

A very decayed old section of a fallen tree has much of its outer surface stained dark green by moss. Dozens of small pale mushrooms sprout up all over it like wildflowers.

Yesterday, I helped co-lead my first mushroom walk hosted by the Discovery Center in Philadelphia. It was cold and rainy, but we still had a decent turn out of 20-ish people? I haven't worked much with my co- before, but I'm thankful that it went well, and the host organizer was very easy to work with too. We walked along a path that I had had a chance to scope out a month earlier, which was really helpful as someone not as confident about leading trails. The practice run with her made me realize I might know more than I expected- at least enough for the purposes of the event. It was hard to find specimens in the cold, but not impossible, including wood ears and oysters. I think people who attended had a good time and got to come away with some good fungi fun facts like how it's safe to touch mushrooms or how to use iNaturalist. I'm really thankful for this opportunity.
