Mushroom Mountain
Anna and I went to a couple of
incredible lectures on mycoremeditaion and mycoforestry this weekend by
Tradd Cotter
at the Asheville growers school.
Mr Cotter gave a riveting
talk on the importance of mushrooms in our ecosystem and how we can use
low tech methods to give your fungi a helping hand. He sells bulk
spawn, plugs, kits, extracts and supplies at his website Mushroom Mountain.com,
which has become our new source for everything fungus related.
Not only did the seats fill
up on Sunday's talk, but the floor filled up and I even saw a few people
standing in the hallway listening. Clearly his passion for mushrooms is
contagious and with any luck it will spread just like the mycelium from which
this magical fruit is born from.

Mycology is one of those subjects that's been on periphery of my interests for awhile awaiting the proper intersection of information and gumption! I've looked into it various times in the past and have come away a little overwhelmed with the methods and equipment some folks employ. Just as soon as I get my bees squared away in their posh new European styled digs time should free up to look into the subject more in depth. I appreciate your low-tech and DIY approach to things in general. Thanks for the pointers!
