I didn’t know that, thanks.
Is there a specific wood to pick in the nature or something else that will grow mushroom ?
It's a matter of luck which sp. you bring home. Actually the spores they release when ready are in such abundancy, tiny and light they blow all over the place. You could consider a forest littered with dormant mushroom spores all over the place waiting for the correct moment. Some require dark, less or more light, or a specific range of temperature, or humidity etc. etc. Mushrooms that are not cultivated for consumption we know very little about what the specific needs are to cultivate them. Nothing much more then if you see them in the fall, then they obviously prefer cool temperatures and low light conditions.
The picture i posted it grow from a patch of moss i took home from the forest and placed on some peaty soil at home. Over the years doing this i personally only experienced it twice in an indoor setup.
In the 2nd picture you posted above i think to see an Oyster (
Pleurotus ostreatus) These are cultivated and edible. It might just placed there by the creator and quickly take a picture.
You can buy spores or seeded wood and grow them yourself. These nursery/growing kits come with instructions and can be used to home grow them. Also in a terrarium setup. But as said, it actually is the fruiting stage of a subterranean network of fungus fibres it's never for long term. It takes about 2 weeks for this sp. to grow to its best size to collect and use culinary. You can buy several edible species such as SjiTake and many more to grow at home or in the garden.
With this, it might be interesting to experiment.
In the forest, they grow mainly on decaying organic matter, it can be anything from rotting wood logs or on the forest floor on decaying twigs and leaves or even animal faeces. The common mushroom we like to eat (Agaricus bisporus) is cultivated best on Horse manure.
😉 And we love it.
