cwardropDescription
Very abundant mats along stream margin to the lake. Using Judy Godfrey’s thesis key I got to J. hattoriana but idk. No underleaves, trigones or discernible odour. Large shoots, often with flagellate branching, clear to reddish rhizoids, sometimes emarginate leaf apices, 2-5 variable oil-bodies/cell, nice colouration…

willoughbyarevaloDescription
Or yeast? Or a slime mold? In a decade of mushroom cultivation I’ve never seen a contaminant like this. It’s 4 days old, on the surface of a liquid culture of Pleurotus euosmus (Tarragon Oyster Mushroom). Media is the cooking water from rye grains. Other jars in this batch did not have contamination, with the exception of one other jar, which has another novel (for me) surface contaminant. See next observation.
