These wonderful little Q-tip sprouty things are Swamp Beacon [Mitrula elegans] mushrooms, and up until yesterday I had never found one. In fact they aren’t listed in many of my guides or fungi websites I visit. They mostly grow on fallen conifer needles IN BOGS… so you can see why they don’t get a lot of press!

Friends, we have mushrooms!

Blue oyster from grain spawn seeded into cardboard in a plastic bucket on February 9th and stored in an unheated garage until they pinned yesterday.
