These guys just fruited in the past 24-48 hours, been some consistent rain in these parts for the past couple of weeks. The stems are a lot more woody/hard than what I’m used to. They’re waxy/slimy, it’s still raining and they do bruise (more then what has seems to have already occurred) when squeezed. I’m also not really seeing the typical “nipple” that comes with the good kind so I’m dubious as to what they’re. a couple of different variety of mushroom have already come up from this mulch from autumn through to now, but I have “seeded” various places round the garden with previous seasons pickings, from another region, with both spores and mycelium. So naturally I’m curious. Any ideas? Should I just leave them for the bugs? If you want better more specific shots to help with id’ing let me know. This region has an abundance of variety when it comes to fungi, so it’s fun to know wand explore what’s here. Especially if they’re culinary.
