This showed up last year, too. I’ve owned the property since 2015 and for 2 years, a couple with pigs and chickens lived here. The pigs would not have been able to reach the mystery shrooms in Bunnell, FL.
I have many root knots ( nematodes?) and zip for topsoil. Holy moly is it ever different from gardening in CT!
This is my first year mushing. I’m open to suggestions!
I have wine cap and blue oyster blocks in the fridge.

These also showed up last year. No nearby tree, but there were a few fire ant nests nearby.
Thanks Timothy for starting the thread, and to all for the great pictures!
My farm property was timber growing land, then clear cut 5 years ago. We have a remarkable selection of stumps. And some have 'shrooms.
Attaching a pic of a polyporus, but no idea what its little pink friend might be. Anyone have a name to attach to that?

Since this is for showing what fungus I get, this is it. Yes, water kefir has fungus in it. There won't be any mushrooms I would show, I never get any. Everything is from plants. Kefir would be the exception.
Large shelf fungus, posibly a White Cheese Polypore acording to Goggle Lens. On a dead maple and aparently very young as we first noticed it yesterday beside the drivway.

Wow how fun to find a morel in Disneyland! Thanks for sharing that, Chance.
And thanks to Fred for the reminder about water kefir grains. I had a batch going for a few years, but then was traveling a lot and could not maintain it. I am looking forward to starting another batch this autumn!
Has anyone here tried to make a sparkling gingerbeer (mildly alcoholic) with water kefir? Maybe this is not the right forum for that topic... if not maybe one of you who are 'in the know' can redirect me?
