Flammula “alnicola-IN01” is an unnamed species

Flammula “alnicola-IN01” is an unnamed species that I cloned from the wild last fall in Queensbury, NY. The DNA was sequenced by @ohio_mushroom_dna_lab confirming its identity.

The aroma is like blewits, floral with some sweetness. The flavor is also floral like lilac or fresh linen. There is no bitterness. The texture is soft and not fibrous like most Pholiotas.

Every part of the fruit body glows bright green in the presence of UV light. The spore print is reddish brown.

I grew this on 50/50 sawdust and soy hulls. It took 6 weeks to incubate and 4 weeks to reach maturity after being introduced to fruiting conditions. The yield is about 2lbs.

I think I’ll give it the common name “Saffron Cap” assuming it will be good to eat. I have eaten a few grams, but not sautéed it properly.

The iNaturalist wild sighting with the DNA sequence can be found here http://inaturalist.org/observations/187543254

Setting up aerated LC from @myco_op. I think it was a mistake for me to add a steel down stem instead of the tubing he usually includes because it’s not air tight and the bubbles aren’t as strong. My technique could use some tweaking but this is only the 4th time I’ve done this. Practice makes perfect. Insanely fast growth on my slowest growing species using this set up.

We’ve been using the front half of our walk-in as incubation space. It’ll allow us to grow all of the super slow incubation species this winter. We also plan to grow Cordyceps year round with this.

Lots of lab work recently.
