Cooling off

The cooler weather has finally arrived in Tasmania after a warmer than expected autumn. This makes mushroom growing a bit easier as the main contaminants are less prominent and the species mix we can grow increases. It has become apparent temperature control is necessary for the reliable growth of all species year round so we will be looking into this and a sustainable way to achieve it.

We have perfected our agar techniques and will be working on our own distinct mushroom strains by isolating spores and finding compatible mating types.

Our goal in the future will be offering affordable mushroom classes online to share the knowledge we have gathered and help other people start growing and supplying their local communities with these delicious fungi. In a time of unreliable food networks the ability to grow your own food locally has never been more important.
