• Common Name
  Taxon
• Pioppino
  Agrocybe aegerita
  A delightfully crunchy wood-loving gourmet mushroom with a mild flavor.
• Fly Agaric
  Amanita muscaria
  The infamous Fly Agaric is a mycorrhizal mushroom. Wild clone from cottonwood grove.
• Cordyceps militaris
  Cordyceps militaris
  Cordyceps militaris has quickly become one of the most highly sought-after mushroom varieties on the market, their trade value far surpassing even the street price of illegal magic mushrooms. This is due primarily to their high concentrations of cordycepin, a biochemical compound which has powerful stimulant effects, but with a far less troublesome side-effect profile than other stimulants like caffeine and amphetamines. Cordyceps are typically grown on a combination of rice, mealworms and/or silkworm pupae. They produce brilliant, orange club-like fruiting bodies which can be dried and sold as-is or made into tea. For more information about Cordyceps cultivation, see the Cordyceps Cultivation Handbook by William Padilla Brown.
• Enoki
  Flammulina velutipes
  Widely adored in Asian cuisine, this clustered wood lover is commonly cultivated in low-light, high-CO2 conditions to accentuate stem growth. This strain performs well at higher temperatures than most, allowing it to be cultivated alongside oysters and other commercial varieties.
• Tinder Conk
  Fomes fomentarius
  The Tinder Conk is a very special polypore which has been used since ancient times. When repeatedly soaked and pounded, it can be made into a stiff, durable leather-like material called Amadou, which has been traditionally used for garments, cauterizing wounds and as tinder for starting fires. Also made into tea, recent studies have confirmed that it has exceptional medicinal potential for its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and detoxifying properties.
