i hope you eat good food, grow beautiful things, and have more love than you know what to do with.
This past spring, I bought winecap mushroom spawn for the mulch in my garden. Fungi are an extremely important part of nature’s cycle, playing an integral role in the decomposition of organic matter and recycling it into a form living plants can use. Mushrooms therefore …
My oldest loves nametake (although she’s generally a fiend for all mushrooms)–and at 9 years old it’s really easy for her to grab some rice from the rice cooker and top it off with some for an after school snack. I make a few jars …
My kids came in to give me the morning report–another flush of chicken of the woods had made its presence known on the lawn and so it was imperative that I harvested them before they got too tough. I made karaage style COTW a few …
