So grateful for everyone who has supported us over the years
Morels are like cordyceps because how you maintain Morels are like cordyceps because how you maintain the mycelium culture is very important. Growing cordyceps with an old $8 LC syringe side by side with a fresh $30 culture supplied by an expert, the difference in performance is clear. Morels also require careful attention to the type of media, temperature, and age of the mycelium in culture. The Chinese book I got on morel cultivation says the mycelium germinated from spore should be transferred no more than 20 times before genetic drift and senescence is obvious. This bin of new morel culture I’ve been incubating indoors is an example of that by producing a lot of sclerotia in only two weeks, compared to the last old culture I was using that wouldn’t form this amount of sclerotia if given months. For morel cultivation, substrate is typical garden soil, the challenge comes from the work beforehand.
That’s my theory anyways

This year for my birthday I did 围炉煮茶 Wéi Lú Zhǔ Ch This year for my birthday I did 围炉煮茶 Wéi Lú Zhǔ Chá with @518asianeats. Usually the grill uses charcoal but I wanted an electric version so we could do it indoors. Instead of importing one we decided to make our own. We got a ceramic planter, and cut a hole in the bottom for the cord of an electric cooktop.
Then added a wire grill grate on top. This setup worked surprisingly well, the tea boiled quickly and it was able to roast potatoes. Siwei brought tons of cool Chinese snacks and fruits for the grill, as well as different ingredients for making teas. It’s sort of like the Korean BBQ of tea parties, flipping and turning the foods, and creating small batches of different tea recipes is hours of fun.

The “Rainworks Oyster”. I crossed two wild oyster The “Rainworks Oyster”. I crossed two wild oyster mushroom strains—one from New York and one from Washington—by mixing spores and growing them together on agar. The result is a hybrid with large, wavy caps and a firm, meaty texture. This is traditional mushroom breeding, using natural genetic recombination.

These are known as Beech, shimeji, or seafood mush These are known as Beech, shimeji, or seafood mushrooms, I originally this cloned from the wild in October of 2023.
It was growing from a pine tree in Queensbury, New York.

That single mushroom became the culture I  grow today on my farm-now cultivated on pine sawdust, trying to replicate its original habitat.

The major thing makes this strain unique is its size.
Cultivated Beech are usually small, but this one consistently grows much much larger than what you’d normally find in a grocery store.

These mushrooms have a great chewy  texture and nutty mild flavor, perfect for stir fry’s and soups.

Every harvest is a continuation of that original moment in the forest— the same genetics, carefully grown, season after season.
“White Gold” Enoki is a hybrid of two Flammulina s “White Gold” Enoki is a hybrid of two Flammulina species created by @mossycreekmushrooms. I helped by supplying the F. filiformis spores. This is a cross between the common white grocery store enoki, and the wild F. velutipes species. In the second photo you can see this hybrid compared to F. velutipes. I thought this was super cool.
Harvesting Nameko, or Nametake. Name (nah may) tra Harvesting Nameko, or Nametake. Name (nah may) translates from Japanese to slippery or slimy. The caps are slick with an orange jelly-like substance. Traditionally these are prepared in miso soup. I think they taste nutty and a bit like flowers.
Our Medicinal Mushroom Coffee combines the rich, r Our Medicinal Mushroom Coffee combines the rich, robust flavor of locally roasted coffee beans with the incredible power of four medicinal mushrooms- Reishi, Chaga, Lion’s Mane, and Turkey Tail- sustainably cultivated and hand-foraged from the wild landscapes nearby.

Real Fruit Bodies, Not Mycelium!
Our Lion’s Mane and Reishi is cultivated from scratch on non-GMO, chemical free substrates and grown in biodegradable bags within a climate controlled environment to ensure exceptional quality, consistency, and sustainability. Our Chaga and Turkey Tail are carefully and sustainably foraged from the forests of upstate New York.

Ingredients: Coffee, Chaga, Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail
Pouring Petri dishes for culturing mycelium. Essen Pouring Petri dishes for culturing mycelium. Essentially just a mixture of sugar, water, and gelling agent. Since we grow from scratch this is how everything on the farm gets started. Spores get germinated on these, and clones begin to multiply.
