🍄 Tuesday Tea Talk: So… About Those Mushrooms

Yesterday we played Name That Fungus.

Today, let’s talk about why I think mushrooms are fascinating—even though I have absolutely no desire to eat one. 😂

Here in Northern Michigan, our woods are home to an incredible variety of fungi. Some grow on living trees, some recycle dead wood, some live in partnership with trees underground, and some aren’t even mushrooms at all.

That last one is an important distinction.

For example, one of yesterday’s mystery photos wasn’t a mushroom. It was ghost pipe, a strange little woodland wildflower that lacks chlorophyll and gets its nutrients through a relationship involving fungi.

And that’s one of the things I love about wandering through the woods: there is an entire world happening underneath our feet that most of us barely notice.

But here’s where I put on my responsible grown-up hat for a minute…

🍄 Please don’t assume that a mushroom is safe to eat because it looks like one you’ve seen before.

Michigan has poisonous mushrooms, including species that can be mistaken for edible ones. The Michigan DNR specifically advises that wild mushrooms should not be consumed unless they’ve been properly identified by an expert.

And there’s a reason Michigan takes wild mushroom identification seriously: mushrooms sold as wild-foraged food in Michigan have specific inspection and certification requirements. We have a few of those folks right here in Lewiston that can identify those mushrooms for you. Roll Call? Let people know who you are-raise your hand in the comments below.👇

My personal mushroom-hunting strategy?

📸 Take pictures.
👀 Admire the weirdness.
🌲 Leave them where I found them.
☕ Buy my mushroom coffee from an actual supplier. 😂

Because apparently I’m perfectly happy with functional mushrooms in my coffee… just not mushrooms on my dinner plate.

And if you’re curious about the mushroom craze, I’ve got a few mushroom coffee, cacao and chai blends in the shop for those who’d rather explore the fungal world with a mug than a foraging basket. 😉

Come check out what’s new at my at Main Street Collective open Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday for Labor Day.

🍄 TUESDAY TEA TALK: WOODLAND EDITION 🍄

Okay, mushroom people… I need your help! 😂

I’ve been wandering around the woods with my camera again, taking pictures of things that make me stop and think:

“Well… what the heck are YOU?”

So I thought we’d have a little fun.

🎵 One of these things is not like the others… 🎵

👀 Can you spot it?

And here’s the bonus round:

🍄 Can you identify any of the others?

Full disclosure: I am NOT a mushroom expert. I just happen to find fungi fascinating and love seeing what pops up in the woods throughout the seasons.

But I know we’ve got some pretty knowledgeable mushroom folks right here in Lewiston — including some familiar faces from the old mushroom club days. 👀🍄

So, mushroom people… this one’s for you!

Drop your guesses in the comments. Let’s see what you know! 😁

And please be gentle with me if I completely misidentified something in my own photographs. 😂

Part 2 is coming tomorrow, when we’ll talk a little more about the fascinating world of fungi, why proper identification matters, and why “it looks like the one I saw on Facebook” is probably not the best mushroom-safety strategy. 😉

Unfortunately, Sunday’s Beyond the Teacup: Mint workshop has been cancelled.

A medical flare has left me temporarily unable to prepare and host the workshop as planned, and I need to give myself the time to recover.

I am so very disappointed to have to cancel this one. I had been looking forward to sharing an afternoon of mint, food, tea, history and a little hands-on botanical fun with everyone.

Thank you to everyone who registered and supported these workshops this summer. ❤️

I had hoped this would be my final workshop of the season, but perhaps it won’t be the final Beyond the Teacup after all. If I can find the right opportunity for a winter workshop, I’ll let you know.

🌿 Tuesday Tea Talk: All About Mint! 🌿

Mint might be one of the easiest herbs to grow… and one of the easiest herbs to accidentally take over your garden! 😂

There are so many varieties of mint beyond the classic peppermint and spearmint — chocolate, ginger, grapefruit, berries & cream, mojito and more. Each can bring something a little different to teas, drinks and the kitchen.

🌱 Why grow mint?
Mint is hardy, perennial in our area, pollinator-friendly when allowed to flower, and incredibly useful. Fresh leaves can be used in iced tea, lemonade, infused water, cocktails and mocktails, while dried mint makes a wonderful addition to herbal tea blends and culinary recipes.

🍵 And the traditional uses?
Mint has a long history of use for digestive comfort and as a soothing, refreshing herbal tea. It’s also naturally caffeine-free.

⚠️ But here’s the catch…
Mint has a reputation for taking over — and it earned it!

Plant it directly in the ground and those runners can travel. A container can be a much better choice if you want to keep mint where you put it. Just remember that mint growing in a pot has different winter needs than mint planted in the ground, especially here in Michigan.

And if you’re growing several varieties close together, don’t be surprised if things get interesting. Mint can spread, cross-pollinate, and occasionally leave you wondering exactly which mint you picked! 😉

There is SO much to love about this little herb — from the garden to the teacup.

So tell me… what kind of mint are you growing? 🌿💚

🍪 A little Sunday treat run! 🍪

I’ll also post a picture of the cart so you know what you’re looking for. 😊
