Once Cultivated "This phrase does not refer to highly educated mushrooms, but to ones grown on logs, coffee grounds, wood chips, mulched straw, recycled paper, or ammonium nitrate, and whose later substrate often tends to be soups, pastas, or pizzas. Mycorrhizal species such as chantarelles, morels, and the king bolete haven't been cultivated... yet. "Commonly cultivated species include shiitakes ( Lentinula edodes ), oyster mushrooms ( Pleurotus sp.), enoki ( Flammulina velutipes ), reishi ( Ganoderma lucidum ), and button mushrooms ( Agaricus bisporus ), the last of which have now been found growing wild" (p. 48-49).
