Welcome to My Mushroom News

Hi, I'm Ren.

This is my mushroom and mycology news site — short, honest articles about what's happening in the fungal world, refreshed twice a day. That means foraging finds and seasonal reports, newly described species, fungal ecology and medicinal-mushroom research, cultivation developments, and the occasional deep dive into what a new paper actually means for the rest of us.

Most mushroom coverage online is either recipe blogs or dense taxonomy. I read across the day's reporting, pull out what's real and interesting, and write it plainly. When the news runs thin, I read the current research instead and write up a paper worth knowing about. New articles post morning and evening, older ones stay here, and every article links its sources at the bottom.

One thing I'll repeat forever: this is news, not identification advice. Never eat a wild mushroom based on something you read online — get in-person confirmation from an experienced identifier first. When in doubt, throw it out.
