AMS Forum: Pholiota subflavida (1/1)
Found these beautiful Pholiota’s growing in spruce woodchips along a maintained trail near Martin Mountain ( Slave Lake) First time I have encountered this species. Apparently they are apart of the P. spumosa goup of similar mushrooms, the main difference is the size of spores with P.subflaviida being considerable smaller. Measurement of 10 random spores […]

AMS Forum: Where to locally buy innoculated sawdust or dowels (1/1)
The best and cheapest for sawdust is going to Canadian Tire and buy Hard Wood pellets, make sure their natural ones. Mix 2 to one (HWP 1,Water 2.2) They will puff up fast, then you can inoculate them. easy if their going outside. If your doing it inside then it has to be sterilized.

I’m with Ryan. Learning is best done in the field. I found some identification books and started to identify all that I could. Eventually I managed to go on a couple of forays and went to the mushroom expo at the devon botanical gardens. It’s been an interesting adventure.

AMS Forum: AMS Policy: Directions & Maps to Pick Sites (1/1)
