There are many straw mushroom growers in my area.
Cassava peel is used as main substrate to grow this mushroom.

I did the same with Pak Bong (water morning glory).

Plant pak bong they say...now's the season they say...need only 25 days they say and price now ฿20/kg they say...

When i harvest, price dropped to ฿6/kg ! @#$%^&*!@#$%

No surprise there, Packdee. The mushrooms you showed in your video are the preferred "strain" for tomyam in Phetchabun(link).

Unfortunately the outer layer of this straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea or simply เห็ดฟาง, source link1 ; link2)has to be cleaned with a knife before cooking.

After cut in half they smile(link).

I am very interested to learn about mushrooms. Milky's are new to me. Do you still use your guest house for this?

Thank you.

Lovely surprise discovery of some wild tomatoes, spontaneously growing in the tobacco field. This was the only one on a 2 Rai field.

Nice to see shaggy is starting to make an effort Jim

Tell the young lad to throw down some nesting material because those Muscovy's should be ready for some happy time (that is unless it's raining)

Hopefully should be having some duckling photos soon

Put in neutral,engine out....tired but happy to be home.

After taking this photo,I showed it to Mrs Shaggy.

She said,Oooohh.... Padwan must of got some new sunglasses.

A little bit puzzled I asked her how did she know it was Padwan....easy said Mrs Shaggy,everyone knows Padwan's motorbike.

This photo still makes me smile every time I look at it....those sure are some funky glasses.

Sorry folks I don't have it in me to post any scenic or farm photos today.

Instead if you don't mind I would like to pay tribute to a kind and gentle man that passed away early this morning.

Grandpa (2450 - 2556)

[David48]

Mate, sad to read the loss of your Grandfather.

You can see the closeness exhibited in the photos you shared.

I'm sure a life well lived.

RIP ...

Here is a type of goat, I have never seen before.... seen on Samui yesterday, I gather common in India and surrounding countries...

He's looking a bit randy....

Now that is a bit young....

[David48]

Great Goats above Sammy ... and I can tell, they were 'excited' to see you ...

[David48]

Shaggy ... maybe some cheering up might be in order?

Mad Mod ...

She actually has to drive that thing for real sometimes.

Witchy Mod

Hope they made you smile ...
