| Eryngiis are my favorite edible so far,i worked on a small farm growing these.Hard to tell the taste apart from chicken in a stir fry.We had them growing in pine wood chips but we found they only liked the kiln dried chips,we thought the temp. of the kiln may have gotten rid of the terpintine that mushies don't like.It wasn't uncommon to get individual mushies weighing 1/2 to 1 pound in weight!!! they also have a long self life compared to other mushies ,especailly oysters. We found they like lots of air when the mycelium was colinizing substrates.We also packed them into bricks tightly and cut open holes in the plastic for the mushies to grow from,i found they fruited best from a "v" shaped slash better than any other slash we could think of.Eryngii will often grow where you give them air with a slash . |
