Lovely! Yes it would be great to teach that for a living. I’d certainly show up to a class.
Cultivating mushrooms like that is a skill I’ve wanted to learn for a long time, I’ve seen it done with lions mane mushrooms, and man have I spent a fortune on dried capsules of those bad boys in supplement stores. I’d much rather save my wallet and grow them myself, but like you say, that’s absolutely the type of thing I’d benefit from just someone showing me IRL what to do, EVEN ONCE! Rather than trying to get it all together myself from a combination of foreign articles and YouTube videos.
I get some people could self teach that in a matter of minutes, but we’ve not all got brains like that, I know I don’t. What is it about skills that transfer so easily IN PERSON rather than through videos or books or “wikihows!”?
You’re also absolutely right about not presuming kids to be dummies, they get called “sponges,” and I say with good reason, every time I’m ranting away like a college professor to my lil 3 year old nephew about any random subject I’m fully aware he could go on to become a Phd in the subject in a couple of decades.
Thanks for a great post! Keep doing the superb work you’re doing. 🙏
AW, this comment blew my mind and made me feel so encouraged!!!! I agree - it takes a special kind of brain to do all the research, compile it, put it into action and come up with results! Let alone having the time to do it! This comment is so encouraging I could cry!!!! I DO have the brain to self research and end up with results - but I'm learning not everyone does and that's okay, that's where I come in!
Ahaha gawd I adore three year olds. if only they could keep up their enthusiasm and curiosity! That's the real challenge as a parent and educator.
Honestly mate this comment made my day!
Also, just ordered some lions mane spawn - going to grow that next!
River your reply was equally as encouraging and inspiring to me! 🙏 I’ve only been on this site for a few days and had been a bit daunted but finding someone so positive and forward thinking and receptive and productive within a hobby I’m very interested is… AWESOME! Maybe if I take enough lions mane I can download all my skills from wiki how in a matter of seconds, and become an educator too, they say it’s good for the brain lol! 😝
I look forward to your future posts.
Oh there's a lot of amazing people here! I'm constantly inspired!!! Enjoy and sing out if you need a hand. I use the Peakd.com version of Hive which has some awesome features. Looking forward to being inspired by you in turn!
