Health officials are worried about what might happen if people are infected with bird flu and seasonal flu at the same time. It's possible the viruses could swap gene segments, in a process that scientists call reassortment.

Let's stop "farming" animals. I suggest converting these barns to mushroom farming, I can never have enough mushrooms.

There are people that don't like mushrooms.

They'll make a good substrate for the mycelium.

More importantly, mushrooms very commonly cause digestive upset for a lot of people, even safe ones and even when cooked. I love mushrooms and even go foraging, but I recently realized I'm one of these people.

I'm sorry for you. That would suck so hard for me, I love my little 'shrooms.

Tonight I'll harvest my oyster mushroom, the lion's mane needs just a few more days.

Thank you. It is very hard. I spent years learning to identify and find mushrooms! I had just been looking to start cultivating them myself when I went on an extreme elimination diet to try and see what are all these things that must be upsetting my stomach. Mushrooms, which I ate pretty much every day and sometimes more than once, are sadly one of them.

That will not stop me from eating morels and the occasional chanterelle when I find them. Worth it.

I do dream of the day I can buy more than mini bellas and white buttons at the store. Give me a nice big chunk of lionsmane or a bag of chestnuts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So... You just want more than 1 option at the store?

White button, baby bella/cremini, and portabello mushrooms are all the same mushroom, just at different maturity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, but they taste different. If I'm at a store that only offers fresh shiitake and dried shiitake, that's still two different types of mushroom they have on offer.

Lions Mane doesn't ship very well for commercial purposes. You might find it at markets... But you're best off growing it yourself.
