Thanks Rick,
The answer may be a bit complicated - I have harvested three types of mushrooms from that bed, but only one of which I introduced purposefully. Morchella elata were present when I moved in, to my pleasant surprise. I then added the wood chips and cloned out a colony of a local blue-bruising woodlover, but also may have accidentally introduced some Pearl Oyster from Fungi Perfecti from a different bed. Though in the second picture you can see the morning's gift of Coprinus lagopus, which storms my tiny yard by the hundreds each day.
