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.

Oysters are stronk. A lot of cursed bathroom mushroom images online are oysters.

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.
