Mushrooms on the brain.
Growing mushrooms brings the human mind into a hidden world that is all around us and is foundational to all ecosystems around us. My exploration of the mycological world began through the of a love of orchids. During High School I collected over 70 species of orchids. Learning about their life cycle, it was explained to me that fungi play an irreplaceable role in their life in the wild.
This one fact drove me to learn about cultivating mushrooms and learning about their life cycle and role in the environment.
Today culinary and medicinal mushrooms are growing in my home and garden. Gaterring new species as I encounter them in the wild and through other mycologists i am building my culture library. Recently I have begun to share my excitement and skills with others through formal and informal classes in my area.
