1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.
Educational Infographics Only Infographics must aim to educate and inform with structured content. Purely narrative or non-informative infographics may be removed.
Serious Guides Only Nonserious or comedy-based guides will be removed.
No Harmful Content Guides promoting dangerous or harmful activities/materials will be removed. This includes content intended to cause harm to others.
By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!
You'd be lucky af to actually get a mushroom to propagate as crudely as that.
It's not impossible, but I feel like this is a massive simplification and a method that yields very poor results.
Yeah you can clone mushroom of an existing one, but straight up planting a piece of mushroom...? Nah fam. Not gonna take.
Yeah especially since they remove the cap if anything that's what I'd put in because it contains the spores. But yeah the stem isn't going to like root and grow in the dirt or something I feel like there's not any chance at all that would work. I think the artist doesn't understand mushrooms maybe. Or maybe somehow this works for some reason and I'm sounding like an asshole right now lol

Well you don't sound like an asshole at all, but technically it is plausible. One can clown mushrooms much the same way one clones cuttings, but it's not exactly the same thing.
Mushroom clones are done by taking a piece of the mycelium and then growing it on a sterile medium, like an agar plate.
That mycelium will then build "a new body" of which fruiting bodies (the things colloquially called mushrooms) could come out of.
So technically, technically, you could just stick a piece of mushroom on a medium and it could take it over and then fruit. But to have that actually work feels like a one in a million. I've purposefully tried growing shrooms and while I've had a few successes, I've had a lot more failures. Usually because molds are pretty much present as spores everywhere, and they're more vigorous than the shrooms I've tried propagating. So the medium you prep usually gets colonised by mold, not the mushroom you're trying to propagate.
So with OP's instructions, a vast majority will just get a moldy pot. And OP says "a mix of compost and soil" when neither is a sterile growing medium.
To grow shrooms usually one uses an organic medium like rye seeds, rice, popcorn kernels, even coffee, but only after it's been sterilised in a pressure cooker or with another method.
Then one introduces either spores or a bit of the mushroom that one is cloning. If it's a bit of the shroom, then it should be a sterile as possible bit of it, so like a tiny wedge from the middle of the body.
Mushroom growing is a hobby that requires very meticulous hygiene, not something you just slap in a pot. Plants are much less demanding.

My pineapple plant never produces fruit. It's been... 8 years. It sure is big and healthy though!
Nice guide! Actually had a pinapple for dessert today, have now put the top in water hoping to see results after a while ;D
Reasonably sure that ginger ginger grown from the rhizome can't flower - which is a shame as it's flowers are both beautiful and smell wonderful.
