Oyster mushroom? Found growing in my fern's pot - pix
    #26874012 - 08/10/20 08:09 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hi!  I found an interesting species in my fern's pot!  Not sure what it is, but def the coolest that has ever appeared in my plant pots!! Normally I get this guy, Leucocoprinus birmbaumii, or the flowerpot parasol (not what I'm trying to ID):


OKAY! Mushroom I'm trying to ID below!
Habitat:
Found growing spontaneously in my maidenhair fern's pot (Adiantum sp.).  Pot is glazed ceramic.  Soil has a lot of wood chips/peat/organic matter.  Plant has been potted in this pot for at least 1-2 years.  Was growing in relative shady window at time.  May have experienced ~1 week of extended wetness because my plant had dried out previously, which made some leaves dry out.  Therefore, I paid extra attenshun to it to keep it really moist and happy :smile:

Gills:
Def has gills.  No clear "stem" ; looks like a mushroom you might see growing from a stick/log.

Stem:
N/A?

Cap:
Not really a cap or "hat" ; more of a wavy flesh ?

Spore print color:
I did not make one.  Probably white or pink?  Def not dark.

After I noticed them forming, I began to mist with water ~2x a day and water the plant more frequently to encourage them to grow!  After a ~week long trip after last photo, I came back and all had completely dried out.  None have reappeared since!  Cool!

I think these are Hohenbuehelia petaloides, which are in the oyster family I think
