Shrooms


Here is the closest I have ever gotten to seeing mushroom cultivation. This is from the most recent winter farmer's market here in town: a bag full of wood chips, innoculated with some mushrooms transplanted from elsewhere, then left to grow and produce. Holes are punched in the bag for transpiration, the addition of water, and the blooming of "fruit" - the edible part of the mushroom plant.
