Its Raining and Mushroom Again!

It was raining almost daily for about 2 weeks already, following the months of dry spell. Not only the greens grow healthily, the mushrooms are sprouting all over the place. Reminds me of the upcoming seasonal mushroom period circa June, July - am looking forward to the season, hopefully abundant of edible mushrooms - the "kulat paha ayam", "kulat kawan", "kulat bertih" and "kulat susu musang". Delicious soup or spicy stirred-fried, I need no other dishes. The mushrooms sold in the supermarket somehow cannot substitute the wild taste... Well, that was for another report, in the meantime here are the inedibles (as far as we are concerned...). I am featuring 2 types of gano mushrooms. Here are gano varieties as mentioned in the gano remedy website:
  • Akashiba (red Royal Gano)
  • Kuroshiba (black Royal Gano)
  • Aoshiba (blue Royal Gano)
  • Shiroshiba (white Royal Gano)
  • Kishiba (yellow Royal Gano)
  • Murasakishiba (purple Royal Gano)
This is the white fungus, growing from a rotting coconut stump. The Shiroshiba? Whatever...

Notice the dark base?

...pure white goodness? Not that we ever tried to consume this type of mushroom...


This is the blue type, growing on a rotting kuini trunk.


Reminds me of blue cheese. U think? Hmmm been quite some time since I last stuffed the crakers heheheh...



The cow dung mushroom grows in group on a fertile burned soil under the old durian tree.


Pretty small umbrellas eh?
