Very Exited

Yesterday afternoon I came home to a package from Fungi Perfecti. My order of plug spawn, sealing wax, mycorizhal spores, and a copy of Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms arrived. I never realized that the book was as extensive as it is. Its closer to a textbook than one of the usual offerings in the garden section, and just as deep. My inner geek is totally stoked. I'll post a review when I finish reading, but that will take some time, in the meantime, I have logs to seed with spawn. Homegrown reishi and shitake here I come!

Ultimately I'd like to incorporate the growing of mushrooms into the grander scheme of things. It will be years before I have all the bugs worked out of my rotational system, but I know fungus will have a place in it.
