So, this isn’t the sexiest of mushrooms but a customer asked me if I grew it, I said no but I’ll look into it and a few months later, after many failures, I’ve just harvested my first Woodear mushroom. 🍄‍🟫 I have a while to go in order to figure out how to do these on scale as I’m not really set up for these guys but every failure and every little win gets you closer to learning their growing ‘personality’. But as a side note, my bestie back in the UK was leaving me a voice note about the new mushrooms I’d mentioned (yes, I sometimes bore my friends with my endeavours), and she couldn’t remember the name ‘Woodear’ and happened to say “Woodlice mushroom?”. I laughed so hard that the name kind of lodged itself into my brain. So if you happen to ever hear me talk about Woodlice mushrooms, these are what I’m talking about. Apparently these guys are mild with a crunch similar to a water chestnut, but I’ll let you know. 🤩😁 🍄‍🟫🤎🍄‍🟫🤎

Rain, hail, shine, frizzy hair - it doesn’t matter. We’re here at Mt Gravatt Markets with our mushrooms. Plus, we’ve been married 18 years today. Happy anniversary to us. Time flies when you’re having fun on a rainy Queensland day. 🥰

So I’m here asking for all your good vibes please!!! The Maitake, after much failure, have today started to show some interest!. This is early stages, we’ll watch them develop over the next 7-12 days, silently (possibly loudly) praying that they go all the way. They are so delicate and sensitive that I am not out of the woods just yet when it comes to contamination but this is the furthest I’ve gotten and I have to learn their personality so we can work as a team going forward. *Hands in. “Mushroom life!” and break!!!* 🤎🍄‍🟫🤎🍄‍🟫

Strange post but hey, it’s me… I wanted to share what I collect from inside my bedsheets, essentially, on a weekly basis. You read that right, these splinters and flecks of wood are collected from my BED(!), weekly, and I put them into a container like a weird person to see if I can beat the previous weeks record. (Completely normal behaviour, no? 😁). I shower, I vacuum, I don’t wear my socks to bed and yet somehow I’m forever picking pieces of hardwood splinters out of my sheets. Sometimes they’ll prick me in the night and I have to search for it in the dark. This is mushroom life people! You sleep with your products. They embed themselves into you until, I assume, you morph into them? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🍄‍🟫🤎🪵

So it’s not all love, rainbows and cupcakes here at the dark lord headquarters. This is what failure looks like… Now I can’t be too sad as it’s been a while since I’ve had to throw out so many bags in one go, so I’m grateful for that, but today I’ve lost a good chunk of Lions mane, Maitake (which are our next mushroom variety so learning and failure are inevitable), and then there are our Pioppino’s. Basically, all the super sensitive mushrooms have said “I just can’t go on this week” and contamination overpowered them. The mushroom flag will fly at half mast today for our lost lords. (The second pic is what I’m constantly fighting. We call it Tric. It’s the Lex Luther to Superman. The battle will always be there. BUT! It is the most magnificent shade of green. Dorothy may stroll on by later… 😉). 🍄‍🟫🤎💚🦠

😳… I believe I’m either turning into a mushroom or I’ve become a mushroom sympathiser. Whilst mixing hardwood sawdust and wheat bran bags I looked at it and thought, “my goodness that looks yum” and I started to SALIVATE!!! This is not normal human behaviour! The decent into madness has begun… 🤤😱🍄‍🟫😂

In our relationship, I’ve always been the creative one whilst Steven was the ‘doer’. However! All of that changed when the mushroom stall went live. Steven decided to create 500gm boxes and every day, without fail, someone will walk past and say “I thought you were selling flowers!”, or “they look too good to eat!”. Who knew my husband had the creative gene. 🥰

I just grew a Weeble… 😂 (this is what too much CO2 does to your king trumpets - it gives them a sense of humour). 🍄‍🟫🤎

Today we attended a Shiitake log making workshop run by the lovely Amy and Mickey from Little Acre Gourmet Mushrooms at Neighbourhood Farm in Oxley. Lovely day, lovely people and, as always, we learned many new things. PLUS! We got a sneak peak in how to best grow W**e Cap mushrooms - another mushroom I’d love to cultivate. Loving the winter days in Queensland. Watch this space as we add Shiitake logs to our market stall. 😁. 🍄‍🟫🤎🍄‍🟫

When your Nameko mushroom is bringing mixed messages.
I can’t tell if it’s calling me a d’head or if it’s pointing the way. I’m open to both, nobody is perfect. 😂 Nameko mushrooms: developing attitude since 2026. 🍄‍🟫
