@fieldandforestproducts: 🍄Mushroom Minute🍄 Q: I planted shiitake and I have something growing on them… but I don’t believe it’s shiitake? We get a lot (a lot) of calls and e-mails about this particular fungus, and its name is Bulgaria inquinans. Bulgaria fortunately doesn’t compete for the same nutrition that your cultivated mushrooms do, so despite its worrisome appearance, there’s no need to worry! Typically these dry up in the matter of a few weeks and you’ll not see them on your logs again.
