Common stinkhorn (phallus impudicus) | Fresh & dry mushrooms | Biobritte mushrooms

Common stinkhorn (phallus impudicus) 

Phallus impudicus, the Stinkhorn, emerges from an underground 'egg'. 

The cap is initially covered with a smelly olive-green 'gleba' that attracts insects; they then distribute spores via their feet.

If you want to see these strange fungi, there is no need to go looking for them. Just follow your nose. 

Once you have found one, you will never forget the smell, and thereafter you will probably let out an involuntary yell of 'Stinkhorn' whenever you get wind of one! Early morning is the best time to look (or sniff) for this very smelly species.


Common stinkhorn


Stinkhorns are saprobic and generally gregarious, so where you find one just look around and you will probably be able to find several others at the 'egg' stage (see below). 

Some Victorians, including Charles Darwin's granddaughter Etty Darwin, were so disgusted or so embarrassed at the form of these phallic fungi that they attacked them with cudgels at dawn rather than allowing them to fruit and spread their spores. 




It is doubtful whether such actions could make much of an impression on the Stinkhorn population; however, the main purpose was to avoid letting the Stinkhorns make the 'bad impression' on any impressionable young ladies who might decide to take a morning walk in the woods!

Distribution

Very common throughout Britain and Ireland, Phallus impudicus also occurs in most parts of mainland Europe from Scandinavia to the southernmost parts of the Iberian Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean. 

This species is also found in many western parts of North America.

What is the major problems in mushroom cultivation?

By BIO RESEARCH
Problems and solutions in the cultivation of the mushroom including: a) Mycelium fails to form Improper initiation strategy.  Solutions : consult parameter of growth. Alter moisture, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, etc.  Note : If the substrate is too moist, decrease moisture b) Chlorinated or contaminated water.  Solutions :  Use activated charcoal water filters to eliminate chemical contaminants or any other ways of simple or appropriate technology. c) Bad substrate.  Solutions : Check substrate. Spread the substrate and remix the substrate, package again, make sure all raw materials are good and fresh.   Note : It is necessary to pasteurize immediately after bagging otherwise fermentation gas will slow down the rate of growth of mycelium or stop mycelium growth. d) Bad pasteurization.  Solutions : Check method of pasteurization. Release all air and make sure there is continuous steam before starting pasteurization for a period of 3h. e) The substrate in the bag is too hot when i

Oyster mushroom vs button mushroom nutrition | Nutritional comparison between oyster and button mushrooms

By BIO RESEARCH
Oyster mushrooms are beloved the world over for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor.  Oyster mushrooms are more expensive than white button mushrooms but less so than rarer mushrooms like morels, and take little prep since they can be used whole or chopped.                                Oyster: “These are low in calories and rich in fiber, protein, selenium [which may help prevent cancer], niacin [aka, vitamin B3] and riboflavin [aka, vitamin B2].Oyster mushrooms also contain an active compound called benzaldehyde, which has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, research shows oyster mushrooms may significantly reduce blood glucose levels. They have also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.”    White Button: White button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed. “They’re a good source of potassium, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus [which supports bone and teeth health] and iron. They also contain selenium, a trace
