The process of cloning mushrooms is relatively simple, and basically the same whether cloning wild species, cultivated species, or even store-bought fruits. All you need to do is harvest a piece of tissue from a mushroom fruitbody, place it on agar, and allow the mycelium to grow out until you have pure culture.’ We will show our progress π #oystermushroomgrowing #cloningmushroomspores #mushroomgrowkituk #lionsmanegrowkits #medicalplantsandherbs #medicalmushrooms #lionsmanehealth #lionsmanemushroomrecipe #lionsmanemushroombenefits

Well its been 12 months since we adapted one of our mushroom fruiting rooms into a fully automated hydroponics environment. We have had lettuce, various chillies, strawberries, Bell peppers and cucumbers all growing well. We have now had a big clear out and cut back, and in February we are still eating delicious strawberries and chillies. With the shortages I think we should have continued with tomatoes π€.

Fascinating to have some Foragers Table Pink Oyster Mushroom colonised substrate being used by @phillipahoran
Phillipa is a unique artist making biodegradable negative carbon emission mycelium-grown sculptures to complete her artistic vision.
Check out her profile and we look forward to seeing what she does with our colonised substrate soon!

This Lions Mane kit created a mighty mushroom but then started to go yellow on top. This is a mushroom lacking in humidity, mushrooms are upto 90% water so keeping your humidity high is key. If your mushroom starts to change colour it is in distress, increase your spray misting around your mushroom or place your kit in a larger box with a plastic liner and spray the liner also making a more humid micro climate for your kit π.
This Blue Oyster mushroom kit was placed in a box, starving it of oxygen and allowing the Co2, given off by the mushroom, to build up, resulting in the mushroom stretching searching for oxygen. These mushrooms are still edible but producing a greatly reduced crop with small heads and large stems. Always make sure your mushrooms have fresh air π.
The second flush of our Florida Oyster mushroom straw log is bursting into life. The Florida Oyster has a fruiting body that can be picked small as a blue-grey mushroom or as a large pale mushroom. Picked small you have a smaller yield but with a much longer shelf life. We can not wait to eat these beauties π
Since our last fun fact post on the 4th of December, its been a little cold at the Foragers Table and our mushroom logs continued to whiten but no more mushrooms π. Then yesterday the weather turned milder then π π€ β pining has appeared for a second flush. Be patient with you mushroom kit, when conditions are right, you will continue to get 2nd and 3rd flushes. The colder conditions will just slow things down π π
We are busy packing and posting all your wonderful gifts, right up until the end of the 23rd of December. If you don’t want the postal delays to be a worry this Christmas, order one of our may gift voucher options on our website. We simply email this voucher to you, and its code can be redeemed for a kit after Christmas. π
Did you know oyster mushrooms will drop white spaws if you do not pick them at the right time. So when the outside tips of your mushrooms caps are about to flatten off, this is the perfect time to harvest them with a twist or cut of a knife. Don't worry if your to late and mushrooms start to drop spaws, they are still edible but your mushrooms will have a shorter shelf life.
Did you know mushrooms produce CO2, carbon dioxide, when growing and if not monitored will cause your mushrooms to stretch looking for oxygen, causing small caps. So if you place your mushroom kit in a box to help with humidity, empty the CO2 out of your box, once a day, after pinning, to keep your mushrooms large tasty and happy.
For all those who have contacted us asking what the multi-coloured multi-mushroom straw log looks like in fruition…
Take a look at this!
Perfect Christmas gift idea if you just can’t decide which colour Oyster Mushroom to go with!

Welcoming the split gill mushroom to our spawn collection
The Split Gill mushroom also known as Schizophyllum commune and the common Porecrust mushroom is common around the world because of its clever adaptation, the splits in the gills close and shrivel over its fruiting surface during prolonged dry weather, when rehydrated by rain or moisture the gills reopen again. Split Gill mushrooms can survive several cycles of dehydration and rehydration a facility enabling this fungi to live on every continent on earth with the exception of Antarctica (as far as we know)
Why not swap out your minced meat for oyster mushrooms to make a great tasting healthy lasagne. At Foragers Table we topped ours with radish microgreens, for extra flavour and nutritional value. Try it,
you will fall in love with it.

Comparing 24 and 72 hours growth is amazing in our seed to seed transfer of our Pheonix Oyster mushroom spawn grown on millet.
It is so strong it will be fully colonised and ready to use in 5 days start to finish.
Using Millet over grain gives a far greater amount of enoculation points when mixed with substrate, giving a far quicker colonisation!

Sunflower microgreens provide much of your body’s daily dietary requirements and essential nutrients. These tiny greens are a good source of vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6 as well as folate. Sunflower micro greens pack in plenty of iron and protein. They contain healthy fats like omega-3s and omega-6s for brain health. They are a complete source of amino acids as well. Sunflower microgreens are a good choice for those on plant-based diets as it provides high levels of iron. Iron from plants is harder to absorb which is why some dieticians recommend vegans or vegetarians to consumer twice the recommended amount (so long as it’s from food sources).
