Little coral reef I saw the other day ;) not sure about ID.

I'm not sure what is allowed here (no sidebar content?) and I'm very happy and thankful for this community! And I see so many upvotes but not so many new posts; let's see some more finds, ID requests, growing/harvesting/foraging discussions and so on! At least where I'm at 'tis the season πŸ„

I am going to start growing some oyster mushrooms, I can't wait to post some pictures of the results here! It'll be the first time that I'll actually have some OC to contribute with.

I'm looking to get into that as well. Right now the forest is growing enough for me but as soon as season ends I will start :)

Looking forward to your progress updates!

Wait, is this a mushroom or a coral? Perhaps like some other lurking upvoters, I am not actively growing or finding but do enjoy learning from the posts here. Thanks for sharing!

Maybe something ate the caps? I don't see gills so I'm not sure how it's supposed to spore but I am definitely not very knowledgeable about mycology.

No it’s a type of mushroom. Look up coral mushroom

Cool! It's like an antler coral forest.

I'll go forage soon and make sure to bring you some nice pictures :-) I think it's still a bit early for mushrooms in my area, though.

Ah, I'm sorry, that's my fault πŸ˜… I created a lot of communities at once and I never came back to properly create sidebars for all of them. My goal when I got started was to define the scope by creating communities about topics I find interesting... I will try to make some time to improve some sidebars. But, generally, I would say that if one is well-intentioned and not completely off-topic pretty much anything reasonable is allowed.

That said, if volunteers want to help moderate or take over a community, I'm always happy to hand over the reins!

Don't worry about it, I was just hoping not to encourage people to post against the rules ;)

I'd actually be interested in helping moderate this community, I have no experience with that but I'd like to learn and as I said I am happy that this place exists!
