Light Malt Extract Agar is one of the most straightforward and common formulas used for fungi. MEA is a blend of agar powder and simple sugars derived from grain. The light color and simplicity of this recipe make it wonderful for germination and identifying potential contaminates.

Cloning mushrooms continued 🍄 After Sealing the agar plate with parafilm or plastic wrap. Ensure that all plates are labelled with species and date. Store plates at room temperature away from direct sunlight and observe growth. Contaminants will usually become visible within 3 – 5 days.

Last but by no means least, we have another addition to the Foragers Table, today a fourth gosling. #gosling #smallholding #backyardgarden

The process of cloning mushrooms is relatively simple, and basically the same whether cloning wild species, cultivated species, or even store-bought fruits. All you need to do is harvest a piece of tissue from a mushroom fruitbody, place it on agar, and allow the mycelium to grow out until you have pure culture.’ We will show our progress 🙂 #oystermushroomgrowing #cloningmushroomspores #mushroomgrowkituk #lionsmanegrowkits #medicalplantsandherbs #medicalmushrooms #lionsmanehealth #lionsmanemushroomrecipe #lionsmanemushroombenefits

Fascinating to have some Foragers Table Pink Oyster Mushroom colonised substrate being used by @phillipahoran Phillipa is a unique artist making biodegradable negative carbon emission mycelium-grown sculptures to complete her artistic vision. Check out her profile and we look forward to seeing what she does with our colonised substrate soon! #myceliumart #phillipahoran #mushroomart #foragerstable

This Lions Mane kit created a mighty mushroom but then started to go yellow on top. This is a mushroom lacking in humidity, mushrooms are upto 90% water so keeping your humidity high is key. If your mushroom starts to change colour it is in distress, increase your spray misting around your mushroom or place your kit in a larger box with a plastic liner and spray the liner also making a more humid micro climate for your kit 😃.

This Blue Oyster mushroom kit was placed in a box, starving it of oxygen and allowing the Co2, given off by the mushroom, to build up, resulting in the mushroom stretching searching for oxygen. These mushrooms are still edible but producing a greatly reduced crop with small heads and large stems. Always make sure your mushrooms have fresh air 😃.

What cooking master piece will you home grown mushroom end up in 🍽🙂

It is now 17 days since Santa dropped gifts 🎁 ,while your selection boxes may now be empty, the Lions Mane mushroom kit is doubling in size daily! It will soon be time to harvest and then enjoy growing all over again 🍽

For all you wonderful people who have supported us, here is the first few steps of the Lions mane kit on one of our YouTube films 🎬🦁🍄

The second flush of our Florida Oyster mushroom straw log is bursting into life. The Florida Oyster has a fruiting body that can be picked small as a blue-grey mushroom or as a large pale mushroom. Picked small you have a smaller yield but with a much longer shelf life. We can not wait to eat these beauties 😋

Since our last fun fact post on the 4th of December, its been a little cold at the Foragers Table and our mushroom logs continued to whiten but no more mushrooms 😞. Then yesterday the weather turned milder then 👊 🤛 ✊ pining has appeared for a second flush. Be patient with you mushroom kit, when conditions are right, you will continue to get 2nd and 3rd flushes. The colder conditions will just slow things down 😊 🍄

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all our customers. Here is a peak of what will be new in 2023

We are busy packing and posting all your wonderful gifts, right up until the end of the 23rd of December. If you don’t want the postal delays to be a worry this Christmas, order one of our may gift voucher options on our website.

Did you know as well as sharing fun facts and advice the past four days. We have been sharing our straw logs fruiting daily with you between days 3 and 6 after pinning. You can see them double is size ever day. Mushroom risotto for dinner on the Foragers Table tonight.

Did you know oyster mushrooms will drop white spaws if you do not pick them at the right time. So when the outside tips of your mushrooms caps are about to flatten off, this is the perfect time to harvest them with a twist or cut of a knife. Don't worry if your to late and mushrooms start to drop spaws, they are still edible but your mushrooms will have a shorter shelf life.

Did you know oyster mushrooms like day light. So the more light you give your mushrooms the better their colour will be (but not direct sun light) 12 hours is perfect.

Did you know mushrooms produce CO2, carbon dioxide, when growing and if not monitored will cause your mushrooms to stretch looking for oxygen, causing small caps. So if you place your mushroom kit in a box to help with humidity, empty the CO2 out of your box, once a day, after pinning, to keep your mushrooms large tasty and happy.

Did you know that fresh oyster mushrooms are 90-95% water. So for even larger flushes of mushrooms, from your kits, place them in a box with a plastic bin liner and spray the walls as well as your mushrooms to increase the humidity in your grow space.

At Foragers Table we love our mushrooms and tonight we are using some of our gold oyster mushrooms in this fried rice dish. Only prepared the onions and mushrooms so far but you know it's going to be good 🍄

One or two more days and we can eat these little beauties 😍

Welcoming the split gill mushroom to our spawn collection The Split Gill mushroom also known as Schizophyllum commune and the common Porecrust mushroom is common around the world because of its clever adaptation, the splits in the gills close and shrivel over its fruiting surface during prolonged dry weather, when rehydrated by rain or moisture the gills reopen again. Split Gill mushrooms can survive several cycles of dehydration and rehydration a facility enabling this fungi to live on every continent on earth with the exception of Antarctica (as far as we know)

Comparing 24 and 72 hours growth is amazing in our seed to seed transfer of our Pheonix Oyster mushroom spawn grown on millet. It is so strong it will be fully colonised and ready to use in 5 days start to finish. Using Millet over grain gives a far greater amount of enoculation points when mixed with substrate, giving a far quicker colonisation! #mushrooms #foraging #homegrow #organic #sustainable #foragerstable #vegan

Sunflower microgreens provide much of your body’s daily dietary requirements and essential nutrients. These tiny greens are a good source of vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6 as well as folate. Sunflower micro greens pack in plenty of iron and protein. They contain healthy fats like omega-3s and omega-6s for brain health. They are a complete source of amino acids as well. Sunflower microgreens are a good choice for those on plant-based diets as it provides high levels of iron. Iron from plants is harder to absorb which is why some dieticians recommend vegans or vegetarians to consumer twice the recommended amount (so long as it’s from food sources). #microgreens #sunflowerseeds #growyourown #growkits #foragerstable
