I've been toying with the idea of starting a business selling mushroom cultures. If I do, my existing DIY single jar stir plate isn't going to cut it, so I put together a quad plate. Now I can do 5 at a time.

I just got booze delivered. Lockdown isn't all bad.

Is there still an OAN feed on here? I got blocked a long time ago by the guy who set it up (using my feed script, no less) for posting civil comments disagreeing with the "unbiased" news stories.

The real victims of #COVID19 are my ears, for listening to all of these parody songs made by people who can't sing.

8 months ago I tried to inoculate some fresh oak logs with shiitake, but I wasn’t really properly equipped, and it was about 3 months later in the year than is optimal. They’ve been laying outside on some cinder blocks since then, and I haven’t seen any signs of colonization. They’re not a total lost cause, but they’re iffy.

I decided to bury them standing upright, as contact with the soil can help with water uptake and retention. Just for shits I also dumped a quart of fresh oat spawn in each hole. I figure it can’t hurt. At this rate though, if anything’s going to happen it won’t be until next year. In the meantime I’m on the lookout for some new logs to hopefully do it right this time.

Dear fantasy artists: It seems unlikely to me that all elf women would be tall and willowy and ALSO have gigantic breasts. I mean, I know they're not human, but humans don't usually grow that way.

I went on another mushroom walk in the woods near my house and found what I think is some fresh turkey tail (Trametes versicolor). It fits all of the right descriptive characteristics. The only thing that gives me pause is that the info here says:

4) Is the fresh cap whitish to grayish?

Yes: See Trametes hirsuta.

However, that same page has pictures of gray caps as examples of T. versicolor! WTF?

In either case, I brought some home to get a culture from. Unlike a typical mushroom these are about the thickness of cereal box cardboard and have the texture of . Hopefully the standard cloning techniques still work. I guess as a backup plan I can try for a spore print.

It's almost impossible today, when this kind of thing happens, to separate the truly mentally ill from the merely politically demented.
