SUMMARY:Food from Wood: Cultivating Edible & Medicinal Mushrooms on Logs\, Stumps\, and Wood Chips
DESCRIPTION:Wondering what to do with those undesirable exotic trees on the Back Forty? By teaming with certain fungi\, you can turn that pesky plant problem into an edible solution. A wonder drug or just darn tasty\, the humble mushroom belongs to a kingdom seldom explored. Mushrooms are an excellent source of vegetarian protein and nutrition with the added bonus of being “easy to grow”. Their health benefits are well known and their ecological advantages are just now being fully realized. Now you can learn basic fungal biology and how fungal mycelium colonizes different materials\, particularly wooden logs\, stumps\, and wood chips. You’ll also discover the specific health benefits of different edible and medicinal fungi in Hawai‘i.
