This has been a good month for mushrooms here on the farm. Today I'm drying shiitake (strain WR46) on my drying frame out in the sun- this increases the vitamin D content.

There are swathes of these little fellas around my tree field in the darker areas, they've been popping up since the rains came. No idea what they are, but they're quite pretty.

It's starting to feel autumnal.....

I had placed plugs in some Siberian elm stumps a year ago and I am now just starting to see some flushes.

Tim, what species/cultivar of oyster is that? Is it Hypsizygus ulmarius- the elm oyster?

I'm leaning towards grey oyster Pleurotus ostreatus as a possible identity. I used a few different types of plugs when I placed them in the stump theorizing that diversity will hopefully lead to something establishing at the end of the day. I do however have naturally occuring elm mushrooms on my property in a stand of box elder. Elm oyster usually are a much lighter white/yellow color looking mushroom on those trees.

Interesting diversity cultivation strategy! We have at least 2 different P. ostreatus strains in the wild here in Oregon- usually on alder or cottonwood. But I'm not sure if I've ever seen elm oyster, since we don't have box elder or elms which are the favored hosts. We do have plenty of box elder bugs though...
