Welcome Dave and thanks for all the fungi love! I'm in fungi heaven here!

Welcome David. Thanks for visiting the permies.

April 1, 2016 News Society Publishing released a book "Mycelial Mayhem" by David and Kristin Sewak. This book is a great intro book to incorporating and cultivating mushrooms! We hope you enjoy the light hearted but serious approach we have with the book and hope to exchange ideas and thoughts with other sustainable folks. The Mayhem part comes from running a small niche business, we sold on western Pa organic garden/landscaped, native plant nursery and mushroom operation and moved to Montana-because growing mushrooms in a temperate hardwood forest was just too easy! We had to try it in the semi-arid landscape along Missouri River in Montana! Below is a brief intro- Hello all you mushroom folks you will find that I'm a Fungi!

David Sewak has worked in conservation and recreation for nearly two decades. First with his Papap, he has gathered wild mushrooms since he was a child and has cultivated shrooms for over 20 years. Prior to moving from Pennsylvania to Montana, David and his wife Kristin co-owned Berglorbeer Farma, which specialized in edible mushrooms, heirloom vegetables, native landscape plants and sustainable landscape design. David and Kristin speak on mushroom growing and other sustainable living topics at regional and national green living events. David holds a degree in History and Philosophy and is a fly fishing guide on the Missouri River in western Montana.

Kristin Sewak is the founder of Natural Biodiversity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring biodiversity within landscapes and involving people in environmental solutions. Prior to moving from Pennsylvania to Montana, Kristin and her husband David co-owned Berglorbeer Farma, which specialized in edible mushrooms, heirloom vegetables, native landscape plants and sustainable landscape design. Kristin and David speak on mushroom growing and other sustainable living topics at regional and national green living events. Kristin holds a degree in Ecology, a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, and has developed a nature-inspired leadership model.

Welcome!! So excited! My husband and I have fallen in love with mushrooms- how they look, how they work, how they taste. I am profoundly intrigued by their biology <3

welcome! Your book sounds amazing! Would love to win a copy! Went morel hunting yesterday. It's slim pickings since we haven't had rain in 3 weeks. Was leading a wild foraging course and had to share my one semi dehydrated morel with others. I guess I'll have to do a rain dance before the season is over!

Last years harvest was amazing!

I know I'm super late, sorry all!! I had some internet problems and couldn't get online, but...

I ran the winner picker app in the forum software and we have 4 winners.
