RE: How To Grow Shiitake Mushrooms At Home The Easy Way
Nice post, @luzcypher! I'll chime in with a good word for Fungi Perfecti, too (and I'm not affiliated with them, either). As a company, they have done so much to make mushrooms available to the average person, and to share what they know so new businesses can grow from what they have learned. Their founder, Paul Stamets, has really advanced the world's knowledge about fungi, their role in the environment, and how to grow so many different kinds in both small and large operations. Here in Oregon's Willamette Valley, we can buy mushroom kits from local people at Farmer's Markets - because of the sharing of Paul Stamets and Fungi Perfecti. And thanks, @luzcypher, for sharing your experience, too, with your post. Befriend a fungi today! ;D
Paul Stamets is the authority on mushrooms for sure. He's done a lot for the advancement of mushroom culture.
His TED Talk you can watch here is amazing and he made a great documentary called, Paul Stamets on How Mushrooms Can Save Us from Ourselves is worth watching.
Post Hurricane Katrina there was a lot of toxic chemicals, sewage and gas spills to clean up afterwards and Paul used mushrooms to clean it up which you can watch here called Mushroom Magic | Bioneers
Between Paul Stamets and David Aurora (from Mushrooms Demystified), I can't even imagine how much fungi knowledge they have! Those are all great links!
You know your mushrooms gurus, I'm impressed. But then again, I know you like foraging so I'm not surprised.
I'm a foraging fungophile, for sure! ; )
