Oyster mushrooms are growing in the outside bins better than they are in the indoor bin on cardboard, where it has been taken over by wet bubble disease. The pink spawn seems healthy, so far, but I decided to grab a bucket of it and bury it in nearly every pot or bin in the garden, just in case.

@tippitiwichet those are oyster mushrooms? maybe it's the angle, but the oysters i'm familiar with look more like this:
@fernfren Lol, someone on Mastodon was double checking with me too, here's the big solitary one today. They are rounded at first, then flatten. I'm getting some guidebooks though, because if I'm going to grow these where I'm not positive what spores have come in, I want to be even more sure. Oh, and they're in a raised bin, near where I planted the spent bedding, that's the only reason I even recognized them.
@fernfren I'm not cooking dinner yet, it doesn't go down as far as the ones that were in the box, for sure, but I was thinking that might have to do with growing conditions. The ones in the box didn't go down all the way either, though, when I pulled them out they only went down maybe 1/4 of the way. You can kind of tell here. Maybe that's individual variance though? Anyway, when I say "solitary", that one was only two inches away. Still watching them grow before I firmly decide though.
@tippitiwichet ok glad you're being cautious, i looked at more photos, and some varieties do have more stem than others, but i don't see any skinny brown stems... but i'ma hush now, i've said my piece. :D
i support your mycological efforts!
