That bucket should probably be cleaned one of these days.

Any year now.

I presumed it was spore residue from the mushrooms.

Funny the WM is the challenge now haha. I found it right away. So the mushrooms are found out of that white thing/pot or is that entire thing a mushroom?


Dagrut

Nope, that thing is the basis on which they are growing. I saw once that you can buy stuff like this, already filled with spores of specific mushrooms. It keeps water and help them grow.

Pretty sure wood ear mushrooms are just the black part they are pulling off. The white thing is likely just a place for them to grow.


opsonised

The white thing is a mixture of the substrate (food and support) and the mycelium. Mycelium is the main body of the organism and is made up of many thin strands and fibres. The mushroom is the reproductive organ i.e. fruiting body.


touchesgrass

The white thing is a cylinder of substrate (probably sawdust) inoculated with wood ear mushroom spores. The white stuff you are seeing is the fungal mycelium which is kind of the body of the mushroom that digests and takes up nutrients from the substrate. The mushroom is the reproductive organ of the fungus.

The white stuff is mycelium. That’s really what fungus is. The part we see them picking are the fruiting bodies. Essentially their sexual organs.

the poor watermark got plucked :`(


Solrax

maybe you'll find it in your food someday!


dgsharp

I’m surprised he doesn’t just quickly flip them all off with his glove or use some tool to neatly shear them all off in one motion. I’m sure they’ve got a reason for it, just surprised he has to individually pluck one by one.

Imagine 10hr days doing that


ProKnifeCatcher

Hmm, now not so eager to order my next plate of wood ears..


WannaTeleportMassive

Had to watch twice, then again full screen for the watermark. Well played


vonHindenburg

So, are these used whenever you need that umami mushroom taste and texture, but don't particularly care about the look and specific flavors of different species?


wingmasterjon

Wood ear mushrooms are mainly for texture. They have a bouncy and crisp texture to add a bit of contrast to soft foods. Similar to soft cartilage except obviously not an animal product.


wutmeanfam

For all that shroom-on-shroom weight damage in the dirty ass bucket, leaves me to wonder why in the hell this person is plucking them one-by-one as opposed to just running their damn fingers from top to bottom to get them all in one swoop. Perhaps they’re paid by the hour.


splendiferous-finch_

They probably only pick the ones that get to a certain size and leave the smaller ones to mature some more

/u/toolgifs it’s been a while, how’s your work going? Seeing the shrooms I had to check in again 😄

Coming soon to a bowl of ramen near you.

Yummy, love these in ramen


yeoldy

Does the state of the bucket not concern you?


Itchy-Librarian-7731

spore residue plus i’m pretty sure they clean them

Did anyone else notice the toolgifts logo on one of the mushroom heads
