Is there a mycologist in the house?
These are growing out of one (and only one) of our 5 compost bins. I have never seen anything quite like them before - can anyone identify them?
@Paulos_the_fog Oh but everything is edible.
Some are edible just once. ;)
Like you only need a parachute to go sky-diving if you plan to do it twice.
@Paulos_the_fog Exactly! 😋
Thanks to Jules zjuul@mastodon.social for the ID.
So it looks like it is probably
Auricularia auricula-judae
The jelly ear fungus which is edible - allegedly! I won't be trying it without an absolutely positive ID from an expert however.
