Foraging for mushrooms around Edinburgh I found various types of honey fungus (armillaria), petticoat mottlegill (Panaeolus papilionaceus ) and turf mottlegill (Panaeolus fimicola). Having also bought mushrooms from local shops as well as supermarket chains, I had a collection of eight different types of mushrooms (including varying location of source). I had three different mediums in which the mycelium could grow: cardboard, dead leaves and coffee grounds.
Documenting their features, where I found them and which medium I was putting them into will help in the future to see differences in the samples.
I placed all combinations in separate plastic ziplock bags to grow in a dark and warm place (24-27degrees celcius) to grow for a few days…
