I usually don't grow in the summer due to the heat and I'm struggling to get my ass in gear for this winter. I usually have about 4 varieties I grow, blue oysters, pinks, lion's mane and pioppinos.

Which are your favorite? And what kinds of meals do you use them in?

Definitely the pioppino (sometimes they're called black poplar mushrooms), they have a really nice meaty flavour and firm texture. I find them a little harder to grow than the others. I also enjoy the lions mane quite a bit. I'm really not a huge fan of oysters but my partner and family like them a lot. Oysters have too much gill for me and I just don't like the texture. I do make a roasted oyster seasoning though and that's really good.

I'm not into a really gilly mushroom, either. I'd like to try the pioppinos, though. Thanks for the description, because that really sounds like something I'd like.
