Comments (10)hehe hi digit :) there's almost 200 different types of kimchi & not all of them are spicy. :) there's several water kimchis that are delicious & sweet.. one uses asian pears & green onions in some sweet water (i liked that one) & another uses cubed radish chunks in sweet water. heck, americans eat a form of cucumber kimchi & they don't even realize it! vinegar & water with onions & cucumber = kimchi. lol cabbage kimchi is called tong baechu kimchi, baechu = cabbage :) it's easy to make, but very time consuming. oh.. i found one of my cook books & it told me what type of mustard koreans use for seasoning their kimchi.. it's called indian mustard in english. in korean, it's "kat". the book says it's a member of the brassica juncea family & has brownish or reddish-brown seeds... but it didn't say anything about mustard leaf kimchi. :( they also use wild rocambole (allium monanthum) & ixeris sonchifolia.. my pepper plants were started inside, don't worry :) they're outside now, though, getting some real sun. it's been too cold to do anything outside. up til this past week, it was freezing at night. looks like we're good to go now, though. :) as for radishes & carrots, oklahoma summers get sooooooooo hot. sometimes well over 100 degrees with 80+ % humidity.. and the soil here is very much like clay. i could go in my back yard & dig up a buuuuunch of clay. :D lol want some? :D haha so.. about the pelleted carrot seeds.. do you just put them in clay & then plant them? or do you have to let them dry first, like you do with seed balls? :) i'm not actually using the soil we have in the backyard, though.. unfortunately, i rent. all my stuff is in pots or boxes outside.. but i have big pots & boxes! lol :) and thank you jimster for telling me about pine nuts. :D i always heard they were expensive!.. but i'll have to go check it out. :) best wishes, ~ Candy...See MoreMorel mushrooms

Comments (0)After pouring through books and websites, we have decided, we think, that we have sweetdough or sweetbread mushrooms growing under our maple tree in our Missoula, MT yard. My brave 19 yr old has tested them twice at recommended intervals with no ill effects. In fact said they were delicious. I know we saw them last year, so am pretty sure they'll come back. Wondering if anyone has ideas on how to ensure their return and perhaps how to boost quantity and possible second flush......See MoreEdible Mycorrhizae Mushrooms
Comments (4)The only experience I've had with this has been with the 'inky' mushrooms. We lucked out and got some great organic compost from Lowes of all places, it was in a black and pink bag, and in the later summer I noticed that I had inkies coming up in the pots! I sautéed them in butter and sea salt, very good! I then took the expended soil after the season was over and planted it in the garden, so I hope they spread more. Not sure if the chanterelles would work, but it is worth trying. I know the instructions for oyster mushrooms say that after the little mushroom kit you grow is 'spent', you can cut logs horizontally (make sure they are from living trees, let the logs sit for a month, and then put the spent spawn between the logs in a shaded place and water. Supposedly it will produce more mushrooms. I think it's best to do this just before a rainy season, and cut the trees if possible when they are dormant for more nutrients. I think trees that oysters love are maples....See Moreglib
