One long–time blogger friend whom I admire, is former flight attendant Janey.
She also did live in my birth country and is an avid traveler.
Always interesting to read her posts!
Photo taken by husband Pieter while in Taiwan.
Shown are Pleurotus Eringii being grown on a mixture of sawdust and rice bran.
Janey showed them in her post: We Are Going Where? ←just click link.
It was quite a sight to see them being grown at Central Market.
In 'our' comment you will read: that they are being grown elsewhere in those inoculated, pressed blocks.
This photo is also from Pieter's trip to Taiwan.
Showing you Hericium erinaceus or Lion's Mane.
Janey did show those too in a real good photo.

Bellissimi quest Pleurotus!

I read somewhere that there are more species of mushrooms than any other plant.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYou cannot defy the fruit bodies of moulds by mushrooms persé.

I read her post, I've never heard of a market growing their own mushrooms! That's quite something. I never knew there was such a variety of edible mushrooms, either, before following your blog!
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteYou maybe read her post but you might have skipped Pieter's comment: 'Well, they don't totally grow those mushrooms but they must receive those inoculated, pressed blocks (sawdust or something similar) from a grower. Then they let them develop the fruit bodies with some air handling system for humidity and temperature control'.
So they actually don't totally grow them at location... 😉
Surprising that you never saw at least the very common Pleurotus at your super market. They grow them in Canada and all over the world.
Hugs,
Mariette
Special! Exciting growth medium.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes, it is fun to even grow your own at times.
All is possible as those blocks are being sold to hobby growers.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, I have never seen mushrooms here grown that way, right in the market. There are many large covered markets here, but I tend not to shop at them, because as a single person I don't buy large quantities of produce, and the supermarkets are good enough. The next time I pass by a traditional market, I'll check to see if they have mushrooms growing from bags as Pieter has illustrated.

Dearest Jim,
DeleteWell, they're only fully grown out at those markets in Texas, not for the actual growing part.
Those pictures from Pieter were taken at the actual growers' place, not at any market.
It is at times even hard to find the right quantity for two people, if buying fresh.
Hugs,
Mariette
Interesting
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteHaving such a Central Market would be great with all sorts of food and specialties!
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning my blog and your kind words. I finally had time to look over your post about Liz and the search for her birth Mom. Thank you for sharing that with me.
Dearest Janey,
DeleteYou're quite welcome, you are a long–time, and well–respected blogger, so you earned it.
Your story about that Lion movie made us think about tracing Liz' birth Mom. Thanks for mentioning that incredible story on your blog.
Hugs,
Mariette
Interesting, I don't know these.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteGuess you will have seen or maybe eaten the very common Pleurotus species.
Hugs,
