artsyhonkerFull of worms, sadly. Some kind of pleurotus I think.
Cab@artsyhonker Pleurotus ostreatus I think. Winter oyster mushrooms.
@cabd That was my guess too. Shame about the worms.
@artsyhonker Can't just flick 'em out? Interestingly they're actually ravenous carnivores. The wood they grow on is really low in nitrogen, but they get extra by having hyphae lassos that constrict around microscopic nematode worms in the wood and allow the fungus to digest them. Shaggy ink cap mushrooms do something similar with sticky balls on their mycelia.
@cabd I also forgot my bag, like a numpty
@artsyhonker That never helps :)
@cabd If they didn't have works I would probably go home for a bag.
Need a coat with bigger pocketses.
Irina@artsyhonker I always thought the Diet of Worms was something else than mushrooms. (Apples, perhaps.)
