The wife and I went for a tour of an organic mushroom farm today. It was really cool. They were growing maitakes , shiitakes, white beech and brown beech mushrooms. The GM was a really good guy, showd us everything. I also have an internship lined up for the winter when the restaurant slows down! We left with 6 lbs of maitakes , a big paper bag of king oysters, 2 ea maitakes , shiitake, king oyster blocks to fruit at home. Also got some spawn of brown and white beech , king oyster to expand and grow at home. I will post some pix later.

Actually on Mother's Day, I was surprised see morels growing in the mulch around the shrubs at my in-laws' house. They live in N. Smithfield; maybe the mulch came from Pennsylvania replete with spores.

Stamets' research with fungi is pretty amazing. I've read a couple of his books as well. The efficiency in which mycelium can break down hydrocarbons always amazed me. |

Sorry, cant cultivate those. They have symbiotic relationships with trees and need them to fruit. |

wanted to add
that they did tests on flashing mushrooms with pulses of light
rapid fire to see if that would multiply the vitamin D content
and it worked like a charm
took no time at all
and the shrooms retained it for weeks |
