 Pretty, but I’b be reluctant to eat them 😳 
 I'm really only confident in identifying oysters & wood ear mushrooms growing wild. I'm still learning & not starving, so playing it safe. 🤣

I'm hoping to see wine caps around March. They're very distinctive & easy to identify.

There's a cubic meter of hardwood chip on the bed so it should be interesting. 
 Keep us AUStriches updated. Love seeing your myco-farming posts. 
 I've had so many contaminated blocks & bags of grain. It's so much harder than I expected.

Fruiting is my biggest issue. I don't have the space to have a fruiting tent to control the humidity, air flow & fungus gnats. I'm thinking my best bet is to leverage my outdoor spaces & accept that I can't control nature. 
 Ask Bill Gates. 🤪
He reckons he can control nature.
