Kits that help people grow their own golden oyster mushrooms at home may be one reason this nonnative species is now spreading in the wild.

    I’m sitting on one of the 2016 starter spots, camping. Just picked a big bag of delicious golden oysters for dinner tonight. The first year I was here was 2018, and there were a few, but we picked a great many more tan/white oysters that year. My gut says this article is right, there used to be a much larger variety of mushrooms around here.

    Many years ago I tried adding this to my grow schedule and thankfully it never got to spread spores, never even fruited. Its not that it wasn’t a fast grower, it was pretty vigorous (which is likely a big part of the problem) - the mycelium smelled like a rotting carcass and I binned that shit so fast as soon as I figured out what the stench was. I tell everyone this so people are possibly swayed even if lot of people don’t have this issue when growing them.
