Mushroom farm secrets
Anna's mushroom
post this morning sent me on a research trail that led all the way
to a Fungus farm in Singapore. These nice
pictures illustrate how one can make their own man made logs out of
a simple plastic bag. I imagine the bag is filled with some sort of saw
dust.
We've been thinking of trying something like this in the refrigerator
root cellar to see if we can achieve mushroom production on a year
round basis.
Or explore more posts by date or by subject.
About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

6 Ways Mushrooms Can Save the World
Hi, Anna! I hope you and Mark had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Have you seen the TEDtalk by Paul Stamets on "6 Ways Mushrooms Can Save the World?" It's really interesting! Here's the link: http://blog.ted.com/2008/05/paul_stamets.php. Stamets also wrote a book entitled, "Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World," which can be found used on Amazon, although I haven't read it, myself, yet. Enjoy the talk!

I did read the book --- it's what got me started and is probably the number one book I've read this year. I highly recommend it! I'll definitely have to go check out the TED lecture! Thanks for the link.
