Darklight Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) A mate has made an outdoor edibles patch, and I gave him a spawn bag to fill it Now either I've mismarked the spawn bag ( possible ) and not recorded it on the spreadsheet, or he has Golden Oyster mushrooms growing wild up his way Golden oyster is about the only thing it could be hey, especially if they are fruiting directly off the spawn from the bag. He couldn't get a spore print as the mushrooms were too wet Is too early for Chanterelles isn't it? They're more a cooler season mushroom and his microclimate is quite warm Normally I'm 1) way more careful in the lab and 2) way less paranoid about ID, but my mate has a family and I'd hate to recommend feeding him something I wasn't 110% sure of the ID on. I have too many species in the culture library these days as I'm isolating local fruits, *sigh*, it's a wake up call for sure Edited February 5, 2015 by Darklight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berengar Posted February 7, 2015 Golden oysters, definitely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darklight Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks Looks like I have to keep a lid on how many species I can run at once. Traced the error back to a re-used lid on an agar container whose previous species name hadn't been properly wiped out Let that be a lesson to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted February 10, 2015 Ive done it a few times. Its worst when someone sends you a plate and you run 20 bags of the wrong species... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
