Saturday June 18 

Starting at 9 AM until 12 Noon

 Mushrooms are amazing, and their health benefits are many-fold: loaded with B vitamins, they contain ALL of the essential amino acids. Used in ancient herbal remedies, mushrooms are treasured for their medicinal qualities, and have also been embraced by conventional medicine as a building block for anti-biotics, cholesterol-lowering drugs and cancer-fighting medications.

An excellent remediator of some of the poorest soil conditions, mushrooms are vital in decomposition (which is especially interesting to us and anyone who composts and makes their own soil!). Recent research even suggests some types of mushrooms may degrade pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, coal tars and heavy fuels into water, CO2 and other basic elements...Helping to repair so much of the damage done by chemcial agriculture for the last 150 years.

They help plants with water absorption, and protect against some plant diseases...all while providing an important food source for the beneficial critters in our soil.

Plus, they are the undeniably-delicious earthy morsels that impart smoky, woody flavors in our pastas, salads, soups, sauces and more! Ever wanted to know how to cultivate your own?
