Fungi February: The oyster mushroom is a popular edible mushroom, and it's cultivated worldwide due to its ability to grow in a variety of substrates and its robustness. It also has the potential to decontaminate polluted soil, a process called mycoremediation.
Disclaimer: Don’t rely on pictures of cute mushrooms with eyes to accurately identify edible mushrooms. At best the wrong one will taste bad, at worst it’ll be deadly!

White-rot on birch,
Lilac-grey dust that smells oddly
Of almonds?
Peach pits..
Cherry seeds!
The breeze carries the spores
Now that Spring is here,
We forage amidst the decaying trees
We posthole in the snow,
Still deep under the shade
Of rippling greenery,
A canopy of fresh, lime colored leaves
Hoping for just one basket
Of oyster mushrooms, hiratake,
For the recipe my grandmother gave
@nosebleedclub April 14th - Oyster Mushroom

(via Carnivorous oyster mushrooms can kill roundworms with “nerve gas in a lollipop” | Ars Technica)
The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a staple of many kinds of cuisine, prized for its mild flavors and a scent vaguely hinting at anise. These cream-colored mushrooms are also one of several types of carnivorous fungi that prey on nematodes (roundworms) in particular. The mushrooms have evolved a novel mechanism for paralyzing and killing its nematode prey: a toxin contained within lollipop-like structures called toxocysts that, when emitted, cause widespread cell death in roundworms within minutes. Scientists have now identified the specific volatile organic compound responsible for this effect, according to a new paper published in the journal Science Advances.
