Hypsizygus ulmarius (elm oyster mushrooms)
Hypsizygus ulmarius (elm oyster mushrooms) growing from pasteurized straw. I got the kit while participating in a mushrooming workshop at D Acres farm in New Hampshire. The workshop presenter was Dave Wichland. He provided the spawn for innoculating the straw. Note that I misspelled the Latin name of the species on the label in the photo. Also note that once the mushrooms fruited, they released copious quantities of spores which coated the furniture and floor, and gave a light dusting to pretty much every surface in the room. My wife was not pleased, but I'm hoping that when we cook them up for dinner tonight, she'll be feeling a little more generous. This fruiting produced about 1 pound of mushrooms.
