Fungi Tour May 6, 2012

Today we were taken on a tour of the UW looking for Fungi. The weather was warm and sunny. First we looked at a large group of Agrocybe Praecoxs. There were many different clusters, and the mushrooms ranged in color from tan to white. The more mature mushrooms had distinctive white cracking. I learned that many different mushrooms can be a part of one organism, and that this can result in a fairy ring, a circular group of mushrooms. The next type of mushroom we looked at was a button mushroom. This is apparently the common form of mushroom that is sold in grocery stores. Next we looked at turkey tail mushrooms growing on a log near the Urban Farm. There were also Oyster Mushrooms growing out of a stump, and I learned that you can plant oyster mushrooms by drilling holes in a stump and inserting spore soaked pegs.
