Rhino foot (edibles) share time [THAILAND]

[siam_jim]

Rhino foot a tricholoma specie probaly giganteum Massee. they are edible. really kool looking. grown in the front yard. the stem grows from a central leg and spreads out like finger and as it grow big it looks like a hoof. i've already took clones and wait for the rest to open so i can collect spores hopefully before the locals comes and pick it for dinner.

enjoy

well i saute' them with pork and i can say the cap tasted most like the champion button mushroom. the stem was very meaty and thick with the same texture of a chantrelle. now if i don't post anything in a few days then it was pioson,..lol

peace

Hey I like the Rhino Foot pics.Thanks for posting them.Rhino Foot is a cool name ha ha.

[Workman]

I've been looking for a tropical Tricholoma species. I am interested in some spores or a culture or a dried mature gill fragment.

Great stuff Siam!!! Yet another interesting edible Hahaha like I don't have enough to do!

Yeah, real cool, jim. They are pretty!

[siam_jim]

Very interesting looking mushroom Siam. Please update the pics when they are fully mature.


Thanx for sharing!

[SharkieJones]

Awesome pics Siam. Looks yummy.

[karmadiver]

Thanks for sharing siam.

Look yummy.

[siam_jim]

i think this is as big as it get for the source of food i had, which wasn't much. the soil is mostly red clay and rocks plenty of compost thrown on top prior pinning. after slicing i was please that stem was not hollow but fiberious. taste in all like local button.stir fried them with pork and oyster gravy. onions and cherry tomatoes as garnish....mummm.


enjoy

[srgtm1a]

looks really good, nice pics. The caps do resemble chopped white buttons.

[anticheffy]

that looks so yummy!!

interesting shroomie there Siam

nice work as allways

[Lazlo]

Nice pics Jim! That plate of food certainly looks filling.

[Lazlo]

Hey Jim. What were the around about temperatures when you found these fruiting? I have a project in the greenhouse now @ 80 degrees and figured since you're where you are, that maybe that's a good starting point.

[SharkieJones]

Looking really yummy there Siam. I'll be over at 7:00.

[siam_jim]

thanks all, wow that was a post while back...laz they didn't start to show till in june here, that would be toward the monsoon season, need lots of lights and FAE like oysters. temps were in the high 80s.

I just transfered a cleaned up culture to jars of sterilized horse manure and one jar of bird seed. I hope its the right stuff and a fruitable culture. An earlier attempt on horse manure started off good but then became contaminated with some sort of black mold and didn't finish colonizing. There were chunks of pure colonized manure in the contaminated jars and when one of these was broke open it smelled like good mushrooms. My culture forms what appears to be hyphal knots on agar so I have high hopes of fruitability. It grows extremely fast on all substrates so far. I've got my fingers crossed for mushrooms in a couple of weeks.

[siam_jim]

this is good news workman! i can't wait to hear further progress...

I was curious as to how your culture was working out Workman. It's good to see people on this one.

My first attempt with this same project failed because I think there was too much magnesium in the casing. The fruiting growth was really weird looking! So it was re-cased with standard material and is looking pretty good at the moment.

[Lazlo]

Well, it's fruiting funny again. I don't know.

Back to square one again.

[siam_jim]

i found them in an enviroment like for chantrelle, mulch and leaves mostly there was no sign of poo..that i don't think.

[Lazlo]

I don't know what's going on with mine. I may not even have a culture of this species, as I had to use the entire print and was doing other culturing as well at the same time. My plate has super fluffy mycelium with no signs of hyphal knotting. I'm going to yank the plate out of the fridge so I can see if it will knot up in higher temps and good lighting.

[Lazlo]

I'm about 99% sure my culture is Trametes. Joy.

Got anymore prints Jim? lol.

I had this stupid tree stump outside of my old house that was loaded with small turkey tails. I guess they contaminated my plate. :sad:

[panic]

theres one ya cant find in the local grocery store! lol
very cool looking shrooms! are they actually cultivated normally, or did you find some and work on them yourself?

[Bobcat]

I'm thrilled you guys are working on this! Don't see much of these. Always wanted more info or to try them after seeing pics in Mycelium Running.

GL!!!

[Lazlo]

My project is s.o.l. I definitely have some sort of Trametes it appears. The odd thing is; this was the culture that came off of the stock I got for the Rhino Foot. I was down to a slim remainder of the print, so I simply applied the whole thing to MEA. This is what I got. Great work huh?

Yet another prime example of why to be more cautious with cross contamination. Who knows, maybe the mushroom cap from the Rhino Foot was contaminated with these spores. Bummer either way.



Whoever archives this thread can remove my muck prior to doing it.

[Hippie3]

you can remove your own muck you know...

[siam_jim]

nope laz those aren't the Rhino Foot i got to wait a few more months before i can get another prints ...that if they come back in the same spot.

siam

[thallus]

Wow looks very good. If you get anymore prints I would love to trade with you.

[Workman]

Looks like I was also growing some sort of polypore. It smelled mushroomy but that didn't mean it was the right mushroom. I checked out the pores under the microscope and they did contain a few white spores and other structures like basidia and cystidia. It is probably one of those crust-like polypores but it could also be a deformed shelf species.

I got a new print from siam jim for another attempt. I won't be growing this particular contaminate now that I know what it looks like on agar.
