PS: Some cool science I learned yesterday about Mayan temples…
Over time, these giant stone structures get completely reclaimed by the jungle. It starts when lichen and pioneering fungi land on the stone and release acids that slowly break down the surface. That microscopic activity creates the first layer of organic material, which lets moss, vines, and plants take hold.

So when you see a temple swallowed by the forest, it’s because fungi were the first ones to make life possible on bare rock. Nature always wins. ❤️🍄

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

I wanted to wait until some of the other brands who actually choose the environment over profits made their posts before making ours.

A few weeks back we took Golden Oysters off our website — and yes, we still have plenty of boxes sitting around lol. For the last two years we’ve talked about removing them once they sold out, but after seeing brands like lead the way, we decided it was the right time to take the loss and do it now.

Here’s why: Golden Oysters can be harmful for North American ecosystems.

Even though they’re beautiful and grow insanely well, they are not native to North America. When a mushroom species grows aggressively (especially on hardwoods), it can outcompete native fungi that play an important role in local ecosystems.

Golden Oysters spread fast, fruit heavily, and can dominate the same deadwood that native oysters, turkey tail, and countless other beneficial decomposers rely on. Over time, that creates an imbalance — fewer native fungi, less biodiversity, and more pressure on the plants, insects, and microbes that depend on native fungal partners.

As growers and foragers, we have a responsibility to think beyond what’s “cool” or “viral” and choose what actually supports long-term ecological health. That’s always been part of Baltispore’s mission.
We’ll figure out something fun to do with the remaining boxes… but they won’t be grown or sold in a way that risks harming local ecosystems.
Thank you to the brands putting the planet first.
We’re proud to stand with you. 🌱🍄

I’m hoping to find another massive Maitake this season — last year’s was over 25 pounds! Many of you might know this mushroom by its other name, Hen of the Woods.

This is easily one of my favorite finds. Not only is it stunning in the wild, but it’s also one of the most flavorful mushrooms you can cook with. Maitake has an incredibly rich, savory flavor and a tender, meaty texture that makes it perfect for dishes like a “Philly cheesesteak” no meat required.

Now’s the perfect time to get out there and forage for these beauties. They love to grow at the base of old oak trees, especially after a few cool autumn rains. If you’ve never tried finding or cooking one, I can’t recommend it enough — it’s one of the most rewarding wild mushrooms to harvest and enjoy.
